Fall into September's Fragrances

[Fall into September's Fragrances]

This summer I have been melting through my hoard of stashed scents. I'm ready to place some fall scent orders. Any suggestions, or new places, since I have been MIA for too long. Today ,I am melting LSC -Vanilla Bean Mousse and TDC-Geisha. Trep: I'm glad your hubby is home and Maggie so sorry about your debit card hi-jack. It's 96 here this p.m and I am staying inside where it's cool with "old man Tip". Have a great afternoon y'all.

[Scents in June to make you swoon]

Hey y'all.. .just checking in and I have been thinking of my candle buddies.. The wedding was beautiful and a fun time. Now, on to getting my youngest ready to finish his degree in audio recording at Vincennes University in southern Indiana where I grew up. So, it will really be an "empty nest" this Fall. I've been melting lots of great scents, too many to mention and I also just placed a order with TDC to stock up on some of my favorites. I hope everyone's Summer is going fabulous. Have a great day and hugs to all.

Luckily we still get a little refund from Uncle Sam...bought a nice little used 98 Honda accord 4 dr for the youngest son. I hope all is well, I just can not seem to get here very often. So, I have a few tasty morsels I have been melting...CFTKR-Brown Sugar and Fig, Warm Vanilla Sugar, Luna Bleu-Chergui Sugar(I LUV this scent), TDC-Rustic Lodge(great scent), Midnight Patchouli,(I really like this one), Can-Do Candles-Spiced Patchouli, Country Home Scents-Christmas Hearth, Cheryl's Candles-Coconut Milk and Lavender(very nice, not my usual kind of scent).

There has been lots of sickness this WInter and I am so ready to "dig in the dirt"..

[Sweet Tarts of February]

Hey y'all..I hope all is well in Candleland...My youngest son will be FINALLY getting his Wisdom teeth out this Friday and I (and he) will be so glad when this is done.

[Starting the year with scents of good cheer]

on the upcoming wedding Katz!! Very exciting! Hope your DS feels better soon! And your poor little Kitty. My Daisy eats alone when she is feeling sick too!

Honeybear....glad your DD came through the surgery well! :)

 

Changing up the scents:

Upstairs it's Pink Dragon from Orchid Lake Candles

 

Downstairs it's Pink Peppermint Cake from Scent Appeal

 

:)

 

Thanks for the well wishes and I do think Tip is on the mend...

[Starting the year with scents of good cheer]

I am looking forward to making a trip to check out the shops in St. Charles. I have heard it's a cool town.

Tip has a check-up this afternoon, so hopefully the Vet thinks he is doing much better.

[Starting the year with scents of good cheer]

Honeybear - Glad the surgery is over for your DD - hope she's doing well. I saw on CFTKR's FB that she's supposed to re-open next week, on the 24th.

 

 

Katz - Poor Mr Tip - what an amazing guy! The important thing is that he is eating & drinking - even if it's outside.

My friend's DH worked in St Charles back in the mid 90's and when she would go to visit, she said there were lots of great shops there - you'll have to check it out & see if it's still like that when U visit your DS.

 

I'm melting FP's Pumpkin Lemon Spice from a CF pal. I was so curious about this one - such a unique combo of scents - but they all play together well....very good scent!

Once again I'm slacking in the "checking-in" dept. It looks like some have been fighting the flu. DS came down last weekend with it. He also has wisdom teeth that need to come out and that is amplifying his ear and teeth pain. Of course, the consultation is still over 2 weeks out. I really don't think there is any emergency oral surgeons. They still put you in the system 3 weeks or so out even if you are practically begging to be seen. I am starting to filter through my paid bill file for tax prep time. I think it's almost impossible to file itemized any more. My 20+ kitty Tip had a bad infection in his gums but the Vet doesn't feel too great about knocking him out to clean his teeth. His labs came back excellent for a kitty that age. I think he was in shock that something didn't show up. The antibiotic he has been on has seemed to help but he will not eat anything that I try to feed him. He goes outside now to eat and drink. I think that is odd.

Some recent melts are CHs-Winter Wonderland, Pink Christmas, Holiday Sparkle. Can-Do Spiced Patchouli, Pure Christmas, Nag Champa, Sparkling Angel jar candle.

I hope everyone is having a great year. A late May wedding will be in our family this year. My oldest Ryan and his beautiful fiance ' Sydnye. They recently relocated to St. Charles, Mo. This means a 4 hour drive from us which is very doable.

 

I'll check back in soon..

[Starting the year with scents of good cheer]

Hey!!! and Happy New Year to one and all...I'm dealing with very glitchy internet connection for several days, and so I wanted to wish everyone a great 2013 and many blessings in this New Year. Today, I am burning Yankee jar candles in Sparkling Angel and Red Apple Wreath. I have melted many fabulous scents over the holidays: Can-DO Honey Pear Cider, Vanilla Amber, Pure Christmas, Peppermint Twist, Ginger Snap Cookies, CFTKR- Fall on the Farm, Bonfire Bliss, Autumn Moon(thanks to a sweet CF buddy), and Everyday Whims-Coffee with Santa (my last one).

I hope everyone is well and healthy and I need to check in more often...Have a great day. It's a very cold and lots of snow still on the ground.

 

 

 

 

[Jingle Bells, Good Christmas Smells]

Maggie: the scent notes sound really great on Winter White. Sometimes I do not do a perfume note well. This is my last week of driving my son to classes. He is considering transferring to my hometown Jr. College this summer to finish up his Music technology degree. I feel it's ironic he will be going to school where DH and I grew up. He has many relatives there and it's only 2 hours for here so maybe time for him to fly!!

My wonderful Can-Do order came yesterday and I am melting Honey Pear Crisp. There are so many great scents and it's hard to decide which ones I want to bag and give as Christmas gifts.

I hope everyone is having a stellar week.

[Jingle Bells, Good Christmas Smells]

I have been burning my Yankee jar candle Holiday Sage and thoroughly enjoying it. I finally have my tree up and I want to do some baking but hasn't happened yet. I hope all is well with everyone and your Holiday preparations are going smoothly..

[Jingle Bells, Good Christmas Smells]

OH NOOOOO! I love that vendor! Is it for good?

 

 

I agree!

 

I saw they are closing...Mom and Daughter are pursuing other things. I really like their scent sand they are just so stinkin' cute...

[November's Cornucopia of Scents]

SO sorry to hear of ailments here....I think I just drink so much it must kill ;the germs....

Christy: Hope your lower tailbone area feels better soon. My youngest has been battling severe pain and nerve issues in this area since a surgery in June. He is now trying a lidoderm patch and this seems to be giving him some relief.

I've been melting here and there Some include Country Home Scents Harvest LSC Sugar Custard Bread, Magical Mistletoe, Vanilla Bean Mousse, Can-Do -Prim Wishes, and Cinn.

Toast. I think it's almost time to start on a couple of Yankee jar candles. I will start will Holiday Sage.

My DS and fian'ce will be moving this way around Dec. 21st. They don't have place yet in St. Louis but they can store there stuff in DH warehouse until they find a place. I am happy they will be much closer so I can actually make a drive to go and visit them. I hope everyone is starting to get into the Holiday Spirit. I think this has been a very interesting year in my home (both good and not so good) but there is always a clean slate on Jan 1st., I say Bring it ON!!!

[November's Cornucopia of Scents]

Some recent melts are CAn-Do Vanilla Pumpkin...this smells so wonderful!!

CFTKR Homecoming and Christmas Village-both Wonderful!!

Cozy Cottage-Christmas Cheer...smells very effervescent.

I'm trying to finish off last years Holiday melts since I have an order coming my was from LSC and just got one from Country Home Scents last week.

[November's Cornucopia of Scents]

Cat: Glad you are back and I know you are one strong gal...sending positive thoughts and prayers for your healing journey.

[November's Cornucopia of Scents]

Yes, very soon. We tried to do this apartment stuff long ago (in September) but that's just too soon for them to know about availability, so we had to put it off until recently. Fortunately things have worked out anyway.

 

Cat, I am so sorry to hear about your car accident. I will pray for your recovery.

 

Today I'm doing a remelt of a grass scent from K's Kreations and burning a YC Drift Away votive.

 

Last night I received my birthday present from DH. A colleague of his does pottery as a hobby, and she made me a couple of gorgeous pillar holders. I am so excited about them. Only thing is, I have no pillars at the moment. Waiting until post-move to place an order. As soon as I have candles to add to the photo, I will post p0rn of the holders.

 

So glad to hear about your new Apt. Christy....very exciting!!

[November's Cornucopia of Scents]

MIchelle: I'm so happy to hear of your good luck with your beach house. I'm sorry your relatives have not faired very well. It's hard to figure out how it can do minimal damage to some and others are wiped out. Some recent melts are LSC Autumn Leaves, Sandalwood Spice, Toasted Fireside, TDC- Bergamot Spice Cedarwood Vanilla Rustic Lodge.

I hope y'all are doing well. I was able to visit my Aunt and cousin that was up visiting my Mom from South Carolina. I think it has been 30 years since I have seen her. It was so nice to see her if just for an afternoon.

[October's Cauldron of Scents]

I hope everyone will be safe from the storm. My DS and his Fiancee' live in Drexel Hill, PA...so hopefully they have shovels or a canoe... LOL... I've been spending most of my spare time with the youngest DS getting him to his Dr. appts. He went to a pain management Dr. last week about the tailbone area nerve pain after surgery and he is starting some PT for 4 weeks. He is still having severe jaw pain and even though Immediate Dentist said that the wisdom teeth coming through should not be bothering him in this way, I'm calling a surgeon tomorrow morning for a second opinion. His jaw pain has been on going more or less for 2 weeks now..The glands behind his ears have been swollen and on fire. So, something has to be going on with all of this area.

 

In between running, I have been meting TDC Pumpkin Caramel Cake, LSC Pumpkin Cinnamon Danish, Apples Pear Crisp, Spun Sugar Apples, Can-Do Mimi's House, Vanilla Woods, Cinnamon Toast. So, some fabulous melts help destress this old Mom somewhat.

 

I hope every one is doing well and I hope to keep in touch a little more...
