"Messy to handle" sure describes my LSC tarts.
I have SH Bewitched Broomsticks going in the bedroom. It's always nice to have a few cinnamon scents that are less foody than most. I like this one just as much. In the living room it's LOL Spazztastic Melon Balls, which DH said he liked. Today is supposed to be a warmer day, so I'm returning to some fruity stuff for a while. Gotta love mixing it up!
-
I'm melting SH Lemon Pound Cake and burning YC Lemon Lavender plus a votive in Fresh Sugar Lemon. Just my speed.
-
I'm curious about the spiced cranberry scents out there. It's fall and I'm not huge on pumpkin, plus I miss EW Cranberry Craze.
Has anybody tried Full Moon's Cranberry Clove or Pure Integrity's Cranberry Spice?
Any other cozy cranberries to recommend?
-
Happy Monday all. I'm kicking off October with YC Kitchen Spice in the living room and a friend's Goldie Dreadlocks in the bedroom. I have my ONE fall-scented candle now, hopefully I can stave off the desire for more pumpkin/leaves/apple/spice-scented candles by melting fall scents.
-
Take care Susan! Trips to the ER are never fun!
I'm burning some fruity votives, melting LSC Pink Fruit Lupes, and cheering on my fantasy football team.
-
Definitely! I have a large YC jar and three votives going.
The person below me has a layered candle. (tell us the vendor and the layers!)

Oh Laurie, I am so sorry. Losing pets is so hard. I'll be thinking of you and your family (including dear Tippi) this weekend. Releasing her from her pain is a very humane and selfless decision, and I'm sure what she remembers from the rainbow bridge is years of love and devotion.
-
I'm melting CYS Autumn Song in the living room and LSC Celtic Myst.
Also on the candle end of things, I'm burning a brand new one! I solved my "need fall & winter candles but I'm about to move" problem by making a layered candle at the Yankee store! It's the perfect solution. You can read more about it down in the Hodge Podge forum if you're interested in details. :)

Feel better Maggie!
I'm burning YC Lemon Lavender and some votives, and melting CYS Red Apple Lavender.
-
Update: I now have a Lush Rockstar dupe in the bedroom, LOL Caribbean in the living room, and the swirl candle/votives still going. (Thanks again for reassuring me that the wick was just too short, Maggie!)
-
Laurie, I'm so sorry to hear about your dear Tippi. Our furry friends are so special. Hugs to you and your family.
What does VDC stand for? I looked in the abbreviations thread and didn't see it listed there.
I put on a couple of brand new votives from a CF pal and in the melter is LSC Scarlet Moon. I like this one for a cool fall evening, but I'm about to make some shortbread cookies so the melter's about to get turned off.
-
Hi all. Last night I melted WAHM Pumpkin Cookies, and today I'm melting K's Kreations Green Tea & Lemongrass and burning my YC sandcastle swirl jar.
I don't mind being on lockdown for tarts right now, but the candle thing is starting to make me sad...
-
Hi all. Today I'm melting LSC Ocean Blue in the bedroom and Honey Bunny from a friend in the living room. And if I'm not mistaken, it's about time to bring out the candles for the cooler weather. Huzzah! I am excited because this upcoming move gives me the chance to work through my stash a bit...not just melts but candles too. Then I might have an excuse to reload after we move!
-
Care to share the recipe?? That sounds totally TDF!! I am craving some pumpkin goodies!
Sure thing! Here it is. Yum!
I'm melting LB Fruit Loop Marshmallows. Love this one (really, Fruit Loop anything).
-
Oh dear, Sweet! I hope your kitty gets better soon! I don't have much experience with those cone things so I don't think I can be of much help -- my best thought is just to try to distract him as much as possible so he doesn't go nuts trying to get it off.
I needed something lighter/sweeter after that amber scent I had going yesterday, so it's SH Fizzy Pop and LOL Da Bomb Poppz.
Speaking of pumpkin, DH and I made baked pumpkin doughnuts today. Delicious and perfect for fall!
-
TGIF everyone! I've been melting a friend's OMG Olive, LSC Cinnamon Twist, and Can-Do Amber Desire.
Loving the cooler weather these days!
-
I have a couple scents going from a CF buddy...Strawberry Zucchini Bread and Dare To Be Sexy.
-
Hi all. It's back to fruity for a while -- I'm melting SH Dewberry and LOL Persephone's Ambrosia. Yesterday I played with my tart collection a bit and brought out some fall stuff. I have a little mini shelving unit that sort of serves as my "center of command" for day-to-day melting operations, and that little unit is a lot more crowded now. Lots of scents and scent categories to choose from!
-
Hi, candle buddies! I'm officially melting my first fall scent of the season: CFTKR Amish Harvest. I love fall and this smells SO GOOD. It may be time to retire my tropical/fruity scents in the near future. In the bedroom is AMS Dancing Waters.
-
I hope U use your stoneware set occasionally or they'll get sad sitting in the cupboard. ;)
We are thinking of keeping a few and selling the rest. I'm not expecting people to beat down my door for used, discontinued dishes, though. We'll see if Craigslist generates any interest.
Yes, that is my cat (Charlie Brown) he is a seal colorpoint Ragdoll.
We have 5 Ragdolls, love the breed.
Charlie Brown is beautiful!! I love him!! :)
I've been really disappointed with my Luna Bleu tarts...today was no exception.
That's too bad, roserent. There seems to be no consensus here about LB's quality OR service. I've really enjoyed all of mine and the throws have been perfectly fine, but last night I melted a new LB scent, Toasted Marshmallows, and it really irritated my eyes. That's never happened to me with a tart or candle before. So even though the scent was really yummy and clearly didn't bother DH, I had to dump it and replace it with SH Froot Loop Cupcakes.

TGIF all. It has been just a lovely day for me. DH took the day off and we enjoyed lunch at Olive Garden and then bought matching dishes. What a wild day huh? (We got a couple sets of stoneware 6 years ago when we got married, but they are too bulky and heavy for everyday use, and this whole time we have been using hand-me-down Corelle dishes that are very practical but the design is very blah.) I found a striped Corelle design that has mini plates and mini bowls in addition to the usual sizes, and we use those a lot, plus have I mentioned THEY ALL MATCH?!? (Even all the bowls have the entire pattern on them. So often only the rim of the bowl is colored and it looks boring.) We are going to mix and match colors for the mugs and had to order some of the stuff online, but I am just finding myself unreasonably excited about new/matching dishes LONG after the whole bridal registry thing.
ANYWAY...what y'all are probably actually interested in is my scents: K's Kreations White Peach & Hibiscus in the living room, Nene's Lemon Sugar & Candied Violets in the bedroom. The weather is lovely so we've had the windows open all day. Yay.
-
Candlefind TOTALLY just ate my post! LAME.
In a nutshell -- I'm melting LOL Iced Lemon Biscotti and my package came.
-
The weather has been cool enough these past couple nights to open windows and actually use a blanket at night. Wonder of wonders.
I'm melting LSC Raspberry Preserves and LOL Spazztastic Citrus Salad.
-
So sorry to hear about your dad, Trep. We're all thinking of the two of you and the rest of your family.
I'm melting CYS Happy Birthday Cupcakes -- a favorite.
October's Cauldron of Scents
in Scent of the Day (SOTD)

My recent scents have included SH Blue Hawaiian, SM Marshmallow Lemon Cookie, and LOL Tropical Red. My choices of what to melt/burn are highly affected by the weather, I just can't enjoy spicy scents when it's hot out. Hopefully it'll cool off soon!
