Giving Thanks for November's Scents

[Candlefind Placeholder 3]

Debra, I'm also sad to hear kitty isn't well. I know that our animals are a very real part of our families.

 

It's all pumpkins, all the time tonight! I have Sweet Pumpkin Pie from Crosscreek in the LR and since I enjoyed my two pumpkin candles in the BR so much last night, I'm doing an encore presentation. Smells heavenly!

debra--I hope this morning brings better news of your kitty.

 

 

 

 

Starting the day out with Boo Nilla from Yankee. Have a good day everyone.

debra... so sorry to hear your kitty is not well... will put some blue on today.... and for anyone else needing the blue, it will be on for you too.

 

Speaking of the blue.... I have a little mosaic tealight holder in shades of blue (I purchase this at YC just for burning the blue).... when I want to burn blue, I can use any color tealight or a battery operated tealight (the battery operated is good if I want it going for long periods since I do not have to babysit it).... it is my special "blue" container.

 

I know there are a lot of folks who have joined the forum recently.... if you want to read more about lighting the blue... go to Hodge Podge (look for the thread that Patsy started there).... it is the first thread... it explains the tradition. Just thought I would mention this here for anyone interested (if anyone else has mentioned this here... sorry for the double post... I have been so busy lately, I have not been able to read each and every post.... so I have missed a few things).

 

This morning I have Cup of Joe Pumpkin and Coffee With Santa going... both from Everyday Whims.

Good morning! Right now I'm burning an Autumn Leaves candle from Pure Scents. I'll be out most of the day later, but as soon as I'm done with work I'm putting in Pumpkin Cheesecake from CHC for the little bit we're here before church today.

Good morning! Just started Zucchini Bread from GHBT's. It has the whole kitchen smelling wonderful!

Glad you remembered to post that, Fleur. I bet some would be puzzled to see "The Blue" mentioned and not know what it is. By the way, how do you like those battery operated tealights. That is a great idea and they look so cute when I see them online. I think I am going to try that for when I burn The Blue. I have a real nice cobalt blue votive holder I too bought for just that purpose.

Patsy.... love the little battery operated tealights... the ones that I have are not the most realistic looking (mine are white plastic, with a white plastic "flame")... but once in a container, they flicker and create a nice ambiance (I usually use them in a container so that the unit can't be seen). I have larger battery operated pillars that are quite realistic looking (they are made from wax and the flicker is dropped down a bit with a realistic looking black wick).

 

These battery tealights are great for the blue... I just turn them on and I don't have to worry about a flame.

Hey fleur - how long do the battery operated tealights last? Can you change the battery in them, or do you have to throw them away when they no longer work? I've been curious about them, but I like to stay away from battery operated things as much as possible, since they seem to drain so quickly, and I feel like I'm constantly changing batteries. We tend to use rechargeables around here, so that helps, but I didn't have a clue about those tealights.

Good Morning, it's a beautiful day in Florida, sunny and cool. I'm burning two candles from Kathy Ireland, orange cranberry crumb cake and Iced oatmeal cookie. I also have melting from Can-do Iced Cherry Chip Cookies and from GHBT Mountain Air. Everything smells so good together as I walk through my house.

Good Morning! Early melts are [list=]CFTKR's Apple Brown Betty,CYS Vanlla Frosted Grahams.

I am still melting Crosscreek's Fruit Loops, 2nd tealight on it today. If it makes it to three I may have to clean out my other melters to melt something else. This is definately a re-order!

Heidi... on the bottom of the tealight there are three things written; on.. off... replace battery... so I guess you can replace the batteries... I have not had to yet... I got a "six pack" of these tealights. One went out already... unfortunately, I think I tossed that one thinking I would never find the right battery or that the battery would cost more than the tealight!... (wished I hadn't tossed it but I must have been in an ultra cleaning mode that day!)... anyway, the battery looks like it is the size of a dime. Not really sure how long they last... as I do not keep it on continuously... but I do not remember thinking that is was a short amount of time...hope that helps a little.

It's a cold Fall day so I am continuing with CFTKR Christmas Garland in my LR and Glistening Snow in my FR. Everyone have a great day.

I have added a Mulled Cider from Mainstays in the upstairs bath. The roast I am cooking is overpowering everything at the moment but this will be good for after lunch.

Good morning and happy Sunday!

 

Debra, I'm so sorry that your kitty is still sick. I'll light up my blue Blueberry Scone candle for your kitty!

 

Right now I'm melting Sugared Spruce, Apple Grove, and will be lighting up a votive for Debra's kitty.

Thank you, everyone, for the blues for my kitty. They sent her home with without a pain med and it really seemed to me that she was uncomfortable - that kitty hunching up position. So I drug out the old meds and doped her up a bit and now she looks more comfortable. She will drink, but still won't eat.

 

I am about cinnamoned out and we have a ways to go with these types of scents (totally a season-scent melter) so today I went as far off as possible: AromaSoy's Summertime fun.

[Candlefind Placeholder 3]

I just started my orange cranberry crumb cake candle by kathy ireland in the kitchen, and yc's autumn leaves in the computer room.

[Candlefind Placeholder 3]

Needed to change the morning scents out... something a little lighter... I have been melting a lot of heavier fall scents lately, so time for a break.

 

Nene's Cutie Patouti and Lemon Starburst Martini. :) .. fun fruity scents!

[mpfand 0]

Re-melting Pumpkin Corn Bread and added Pumpkin Spice, both from Cozy Cottage. These two blend together nicely.

[Candlefind Placeholder 3]

Thanks Fleur - definitely going to get some of the little battery ones for burning the Blue. What a good tip! Thank you. :)
