  1. Hello and Good Afternoon all. Sharon...I'm glad it's just precautionary and not the beginning of something big. Good news! Michele...so happy you had a nice time with Amy and your hubbys! Sounds like a lovely day! Your lavender scents sound awesome. And... to the David S Pumpkins tart name! I love it! What a funny skit! Susan...yes, wonderful to see you! Its Little Blue Coop in BlackBerry Waffle from my newest order...it smells strong and lovely. It's that floral fruity blackberry and I'm enjoying it very much. I only used 3 tiny pieces so I have half of the waffle left. Pretty great for $3.50. I think I'm in trouble. Have a great day.
  2. Good Morning and Afternoon all. Sharon....I'm sorry to hear about that lockdown! Was it sudden? I hope you will be able to see your family very soon. I suppose their numbers are going up again... they are here too. Today it's wonderful tarts from a talented friend we haven't seen in a while.. Gingersnap Pumpkin, Drunkin Pumpkin and Toasted Pumpkin Marshmallow SCD Thank you! Have a nice Sunday.
  3. Good Saturday Morning Thanks Michele...sounds delicious! Its very quiet around here lately. Well....I was wrong...I found tarts older than 2014. My clams from 1803 Candles are from 2013. I've been saving half of the clams because I didn't want to run out and just realized they'll go bad if I don't use them...didn't realize they were that old. I put on Wood Stove Pie and it's super strong! Since they are still in business, I'll use up what I have cause I can get more. Have a good one.
  4. Greetings Sharon...I think that one smelled amazing...I'm on a pear kick lately! Michele...omg...what an adorable name for a tart! What does that smell like? Today I finally dug into my Nellies Acres tarts from last Fall... Spiced Pumpkin Pie...her tarts are sooooo stinking cute...can't wait till it fully melts. Have a great day.
  5. Good morning! Michele...I think I was from the Autumn Harvest Sampler from a few years ago....maybe 2018? I pulled some Swanky tarts that have been in my rotation for years...finally getting to melting them and they seem to be throwing fine....Pumpkin Pecan Waffles and Pumpkin Cheesecake...however, the cheesecake is the sour kind so I'm changing them for some other oldies...Scentfully Addictive in Pistachio Pudding Cake and Apple Caramel Crisp Zucchini Bread. Let's see how they do. Have a good one.
  6. Hello All. I love this time of year too Michele...it's sunny and 68 degrees....a perfect day for short sleeves or a light jacket...either way works...so lovely. Sharon...your strawberry theme sounds nice....I decided on apple today. All Vintage Road Candles Apple Butter - apple berry, bakes apples, cinnamon and vanilla spices Applewood & Pearberry- applewood, fern, apple berry and pear berry Baked Apple Pie - hot buttered blueberry muffins, baked apple pie Smells wonderful in here. Have a good one.
  7. Oh Michele....that Great Pumpkin by VCS is amazing! Added L3 Citron Cedarwood Olive Oil to the upsatairs warmers.
  8. Good Monday Afternoon. Michele... that sounds like an interesting scent! I spent the morning switching up my wax. Always fun and I was happy to see that I made a slight dent in the summer wax...I didn't need to stuff the plastic boxes to the gills that are going into the closet. Of course, the fall wax is really jammed into the wax cabinet...and I have some more on the way. I started the day with Pumpkin Pecan Waffles by Nancy's....surprisingly it had ZERO throw...and since it's a paraffin and "only" 3 years old...I was shocked. I hope all of them aren't duds....I have a lot of stuff from her still...I might try to melt them ASAP to see. Dumped that quickly and now it's Glazed Cinnamon Donuts by World of Wax and Sudz. This is throwing like a champ and it's from 11/2014! I can't believe this is 6 years old and smells great. This must be one of my oldest tarts...and I have a few more scents from that order to use so I'm glad they still throw. I bought them in giant bags of gingerbread men so it's slow going to use them up. Have a great day.
  9. Good Saturday Morning! Thanks Sharon. Now you've got me thinking about incense sticks...I used to love those scents. So calming. My eldest DD came home yesterday and needed some Fall wax...so I lugged out the boxes...I wish she took more. LOL This morning it is very chilly...about 45 degrees so I pulled from those nice cozy scents... Ten Digit Creations Witches Brew/Patchouli/Cabin in the Smokies....I'm gonna miss her wonderful earthy blend creations. Have a nice weekend.
  10. I have not but it sounds intriguing....I love to try foods from all over the world. I must say I haven't found anything I haven't liked yet. The person below me currently owns a rocking chair.
  11. Thanks Michele! I can't believe it's already October! Wow...times sure flies. Michele and Amy...you two are so lucky to be able to visit together. What a fun time you will have! Its Blue Winter by Empire Alchemy...Twisted Winter (twisted peppermint, patchouli, black pepper, vanilla, toasted marshmallow, smoldered woods) and Blue Sugar. Trying to scavenge any cooler weather scents that have found their way into my summer stash. This fits the bill and smells wonderful! Have a great day!
  12. Hello All! Michele...that coffee scent sounds delicious! Amy...seems you got a lot of things done! We were just talking about cleaning out the gutters here. The DH is trying to pass off all of his chores...Ahhh...nope. And you're getting new floors? Yay! It's been L3 Golden Ticket today...can't find the scent description on her site. Ugh. Goodnight.
  13. Happy Monday. Hope all are well. Missing a few regulars around here...Hi! Its Line Dried Cotton by SGA upstairs L3 Real Men Wear Kilts- Axe Phoenix and Black Pepper Bergamot Have a good day.
  14. Good Sunday Morning! I hope all are well! I was trying to burn the last of two BBW Fall candles and the wicks were so puny and kept going out...so I decided to cut them up. They are doing great as melts! Leaves is one of my favorite scents ever and I’m glad the chopping worked. Still going after 24 hours...Have a good one.
  15. I hope your practicing went well!!!! Sadly...Spotted Hog is closed right now. I “think” I have some of her wax in my fall box...just not sure what. As for Apple scents....I love them! But I’m the opposite of you and like the Macintosh and other red variety the best. As for a favorite instrument to listen to...that’s tough. I enjoy drum solos, guitar solos and many others...but I could listen to the piano and violin playing solo for hours. (Could have something to do with my DDs play those exact instruments)
  16. Hello All. Michele...isn't it wonderful when old wax still throws great? Sharon...are you feeling ok? I hope its just the change in the weather and you're not getting sick. Amy...I hope your drive home was nice and uneventful. Welcome back! Yes...I was very careful with the painting...no ladders....just long extension poles this time around. It's not the best job but it's done and it looks....ok. Well....it looks "good enough". Lol You went to see Santana too? Holy moly....lucky night! I love Santana! I've been melting Vanilla Sandalwood by Rockets. Time to change the wax...Empire Alchemy in Wanderlust... Fresh Mint, Cotton Candy, Mint Mojito and Coconut. Goodnight.
  17. Good Afternoon. Yes, Michele...I can only fit half of my wax in my wax cabinet in the family room so I've decided to keep the summer/spring wax separate from the fall/winter wax. I change them out when the season changes...and keep the wax I'm not using in tubs in the closet. My goal is to be able to fit ALL of my wax in the cabinet at once! That would be amazing but unlikely unless I stop buying wax for 1,245 years. Its SGA Funnel Cake Cookie Monster Strawberry White Cake and upstairs it's Swanky Lavender Paris
  18. Screaming Scents of October I Smell the Odor of October Oktoberfest of Fragrances
  19. I'd love that! <---but we must dance like this! I "think" my favorite pumpkin scent is Spotted Hog's "Perfect Pumpkin Pie". I'm a little weird with pumpkin scents...sometimes they have this musty background note that turns me off....nobody else notices it except me but if I smell it....ugh. I enjoy a nice spicy pumpkin too. I have been on a search for a pumpkin scent that I smelled many years ago in a candle from Northern Lights...it was called Spiced Pumpkin but it wasn't spicy and smelled like pumpkin donuts, wood floors, apple peels and pie crusts. Just like walking into an apple orchard bake shop. I fell in love with it but of course they stopped making it. I've tried to blend it myself but it is elusive. One day I will capture it.... The person below me enjoys apple scents in the fall...and if so...what is your favorite?
  20. Good Morning all...been busy with more house chores. Painting the hallways from downstairs to upstairs...it was a comedy show trying to paint above the stairs...lol. Couldn't find the roller extension so I built myself one....which, as you can guess, fell apart while the roller was filled to capacity... Thank goodness my DD was there to grab it before it came crashing onto the carpet. Finally found the extension but now the question is....how do I get the ceiling line? Day three and I'm hoping to figure that out. Think I'm done painting after this. Amy...you saw Jeff Beck? That must have been awesome! I'd love driving to those solos any day! I'm figuring you are on the road again...I hope you have a lovely drive. Michele...that's a beautiful way to put it...taking your memories with you. Your scents sound wonderful...glad you enjoyed them. The mornings have been so chilly here but by afternoon it's still short sleeve weather...so I'll try to wait a bit longer to switch out my scents for cooler weather ones. Found some lovely earthy ones in my summer stash that's perfect for now... L3 He Who Shall Not Be Named- Lord of Misrule & Pomegranate Noi ...I could get a loaf of this....I love LOM and I love Pom....so the combo is amazing. Have a good one. I hope all of our friends are safe and well.
  21. Nope. I don't think I've ever watched an entire concert online. That's weird of me. The person below me decorates with gourds in the Fall.
  22. Good Friday Morning! Amy...great idea to bring the guitar and keyboard with you when you travel! I'm sure that helps with any stress that might pop up. Safe travels to you today! Sharon...congrats on your haircut! I know that feels sooooo good! I can't wait to get mine properly styled by my hairdresser since my own cutting is pretty bad...however, I'm still trying to wait a bit longer. Michele...make sure you take lots of pictures and good luck at the closing. I hope you had a nice lunch with your friends. Today I'm rewarming what I had on last night...it's CFOW Washing Day in Paris - BBW Sweet On Paris (blackberry, lemon, vanilla), clean cotton and blackberry. This is so lovely and super strong....I could have used one chunk in the entire house. Have a nice one.
  23. Good Morning! Amy... Can't believe you travel 8 hours...you are a trooper! Even when the scenery is lovely....it must be draining. I hope you can look forward to your work load lightening up at some point...as for your minivan....The Lusitania?? Toooooo funny!! I used to drive a minivan....OH.....I hated that thing but with four kids...I had no choice in the matter. At least you are a bit safer inside there...anchors aweigh for sure!! Today has started off chilly and wet as these September days do around here so I decided to pull from the fall box...and I'm glad I did because it's delectable... Empanada by Bohemienne Life....Pumpkin, Cream cheese, cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Have a nice day all and stay safe.
  24. Good Afternoon. Its more SWM Earthen Ninja downstairs and VCS Fangtastic from a sweet pal Upstairs. This is amazing. Thank you.
