Spook-tacular October Aromas!

[sweet&spiceygrl 1]

I'm new to the whole tart thing, and I just got my first order ever, from Spotted Hog, and I am melting.... Sleepy Hollow :)

 

Lionqueen - SH was one of the first places I ordered from after discovering CF, too. I think you'll be happy U ordered. Sleepy Hollow sounds like the perfect autumn scent!

 

I'm melting CrossCreek's Tricky Treats. Placed a small order with Deana to try some of her new autumn scents. Psssst ...she said she's getting ready to put up some new holiday ones.

Debra--No, I haven't used the lamp on any smaller candles yet. Just the regular large jars from Yankee and Village. It says on the instructions that it will work with most 12-26 oz jar candles so I don't think anything too small will work.

 

 

I was at Marshall's today and they had a whole bunch of Christmas candles in--I came away with a total of 6 candles--3 Yankee and 3 Village--tax and all $58--not bad if you ask me. These were all large jars.

 

 

Tonight I have on Yankee Christmas Cookie.

Great score at Marshall's, Trep. Were there any Colonial in stock?

 

I just put on LOL Fireside and it is so good! Reorder for sure.

Lionqueen - did you get the Spotted Hog Halloween sampler? I've sniffed Sleepy Hollow but haven't melted that one yet. I'm waiting for it to be chillier here.

 

Speaking of... it's still warm here so I've got the window cracked, enjoying the fresh air and being serenaded by my neighbor's leaf blower. It's pitch dark outside!

 

I'm melting SH Vampire's Vanilla Pound Cake. Mmmm!

[MaggieMae 3]

Hhhhmmmmm....Sleepy Hollow sounds like an interesting scent...I am intrigued!

 

Melting:

Apricot Oatmeal Cookies and Plain Jane Cupcakes both from Mookie Doodle

This evening I'm melting CFTKR - Country Fair Strudel.

Starting the day out with BBW Frosted Cupcake, Yankee Coconut Bay and BBW Caribbean Salsa. Hope you all have a wonderful day. I am having lunch with some friends so that will be nice.

Jules--I didn't see any Colonial--there were some of the Yankee World scents--not many but it can change from day to day. It was mostly Village and Yankee. Nancy

I've got Lasting Scents little black dress going. It's really strong! The Halloween Carnival was great, and I've got another one to go to on Sunday. This is the Fall Festival at my church.

Hi buddies!

 

It's 37 degrees here this morning. We broke down and turned the heater on.

 

I'm melting the oh-so-fabulous Deja Vu from Can-Do to help warm up the place.

This afternoon it is Yankee Vanilla Cupcake under my lamp and my collector's jar of Spiced Pumpkin lit in the bath. I am thinking that those who have said the Spiced Pumpkin has no scent are right. I really don't care as I don't much care for this scent and the jar is so pretty it will be fine just for the light.

 

Here is an update on the candle lamp. This morning after my three wick 14.5 oz BBW Caribbean Candle had melted across the top I decided to stick it under the lamp and see how it would do as it is a fairly short candle. After an hour there was a faint throw and it had kept the top melted but that was it. So I took the lid from the jar and placed it on the base of the lamp ( the base does not get hot) and that lifted the candle about 1/2". Then it formed a one inch melt pool and threw like crazy. If the candle you use is tall, even if the wax is down quite a bit the jar apparently acts as a chimney to help heat the wax because my Yankee Autumn Fruit is down a lot and it starts melting immediately and we all know Yankee wax is much harder than Slatkin wax so the height of the jar is definitely a factor with this lamp. The light from the lamp is what sets it apart for me from other large jar candle warmers because you get the effect of a flame without it actually being lit.

 

I also bought a new large jar crock style warmer. You can get them now that heat from the sides rather than the bottom and you get scent right away instead of after the entire candle has melted. Just a bit of info for anyone who can't or doesn't want to have an actual flame.

Whoops! Ignore the above post by me...not sure what I did..I thought I hit reply???

 

Anyway, not melting anything today or last night since my daughter was sick with the yucky tummy thing and didn't want to make her feel worse with any foody type scents. She is much better today but I am making apple butter so my house is smelling pretty good right now. Hopefully later I will burn a candle. Sometimes I can't wait for my meals or whatever I am cooking to get done so I could light a candle or tart. ( I don't melt or burn anything while cooking because it seems to compete) Am I sick or what???

 

Gail, 37 deg?? Wow, here in the northeast is was 74 degrees today and quite muggy! Will have to check into FM again.

 

Happy belated birthdays to all who had them. I noticed some while scanning through past posts.

 

Enjoy your day all!

[sweet&spiceygrl 1]

Trep, you're a wealth of information!

 

Yep, I also love all the cute emoties!

 

Anjoy, 37 was our low today. It got up to a high of, oh, 65 or 70 maybe. Plunging down to 39 tonight. I suspect the long hot desert summer is officially over.

 

I'm melting FM's Lime Marshmallows. It's really yummy and almost too strong. Not quite though, not quite.

http://www.smilys.net

 

http://smileys.on-my-web.com

 

http://www.pic4ever.com (a nice variety here, but not really seasonal)

 

Hope that helps.

 

 

Not melting or burning right now. Getting ready to call it a night.

Thanks again, Trep! I really do not need another candle toy, but...

 

Tonight is OMG - Trick or Treat. This is really, really strong.
