Jinksy - That's so sad about the SC tart! I am really hoping that a couple of the new strawberry scents will be just as yummy for you. From the descriptions, they sound promising.

I look forward to your review of the Kristen's Sweet Passion scent - I have one also, thanks to Sea, and the description is very intriguing.

A fellow tart addict on the Delphi Forum posted this tart warmer -

Plug-In Tart Warmer

They look great if you are short on counter space! You can also buy replacement wax bowls for it, which are removable. They have a 15 watt bulb.

Julip - I saw that and had one in my shopping cart - then I saw your link here and it pushed me over the edge. lmao. I ordered one for our powder room.

That site also has a ton of ceramic warmers in many colors, both with and without removable bowls. They have a great selection of warmers.

I love that site! I often add things to my shopping cart there, but I have not yet gone through with it. I am thinking of one for the powder room, too, because we just have a pedestal sink in there. The fact that you bought one may very well push me over the edge.

Glad I could help you with your purchases today. What else can I assist you with? lmao

Same with our powder room - pedestal sink. And the nightlight feature of this warmer is perfect, too. Every (and I do mean every) time someone goes in there they always hit the wrong light switch first. Of course they are labeled - lol - but it's dark in there. I am hoping the nightlight will be a friend to our guests.

Please don't show me anything else cool today.

Hmm I have nightlights in Critter's bathroom upstairs.. just a 5-7 watter so she can (or so I can..) see her litter box on the floor in the corner and her water bowl up on the counter (both cats like this water bowl) and then another night light in a wall plug near the floor, right over Critter's food bowls in the small bedroom/clothes/shoe room..

Powder room has two plugs but one has a lamp (that room has one of the dead light switches and the downstairs toothbrush.. still sounds like it would have been a good spot for one of these.. the downstairs powder room/laundry where the cats only enter when I'm in residence. I wouldn't use it in my bathroom or Critter's because the cats would have access.. I can just see them rubbing their cheeks and getting a surprise..

CUTE! Okay, now I want to get one too! Same thing - Powder Room, Pedestal Sink! BUT, with Kaden and Kael, I'll have to wait until they are old enough to not touch it! :-) Maybe I'll put it in the main bathroom where it's not as accessible! THAT'S IT!

Baby ~ are you okay? All this great talk about tarts and you hate them now!!!!

I bet Jinksy's going to have to have one too...!

Bonza - bwa ha ha...

And I know what you mean about the lightswitches. I am always turning on the fan first. Drives me crazy!

What color warmer did you get? Did you also pick up an extra bowl or two?

Oh Julip- You know I can't resist that adorable plug-in warmer in ivory for the upstairs bath. Love it!

I am considering the ivory too! I really want the french blue, but I wish they had replacement bowls in that color instead of just ivory. I still have to think it over to decide if having an ivory dish in the blue warmer would bug me too much.

Julip- The french blue is really pretty but the sucks about the replacement bowls only being in ivory. Decisions, Decisions. lol.

Update on Kristen's sweet passion. I'm really liking it! But, I can't figure out how to describe the scent. It's nice, not too strong, very pretty. I must go look on Alyce's site to see the description for myself.

Jinksy - I think I may go for the ivory and then hope that they start carrying the replacement bowls for the blue. I'd be kidding myself if this turns out to be a great warmer and I stop at just one.

Thanks for the update on the KSP! I may just have to pop that one in next. I think my Berry Brulee TP is done.

I got the plug-in warmer in black to match the accents in the PR. Isn't that festive? I'll post a PR pic in my folder so you can see why black. Because of that, I didn't get an extra bowl.

I also got a ceramic warmer in silver to match the computers & hardware in my office. Oh boy! It is a tiny bit bigger than the Candlesense warmers but I have been wanting to try one:

I like that silver warmer, Bonza. Did you get that at the same site? That reminds me that I was still thinking of getting the silver USB warmer to match the PB. Hmmm...decisions, decisions.

Julip - yes, same site. And they have that warmer in a ton of colors.

Oh, and with a $50 purchase - free shipping! Supersaver!

Bonza, I absolutely love that silver one! Really nice. :-)

Sea- I am loving this KSP tart more and more. I just went to Alyce's site to see the description and here it is.. Vanilla, plumeria and coconut make this scent very unique. It is such a nice combination. The coconut seems to be the top note. It's nice because it's not as light as the Coconut milk and peaches one. Which I ended up liking, but was just a little too weak for me.

Julip- I'm curious to know what you think about the berry brulee. It seems like a nice one. And about the plug-in warmer, I don't think you can really go wrong with the ivory one. It will match with everything, even all your ramekins.

Oh yes, I forgot about my silver usb warmer I wanted. lmao. I think tonight, I'm just going to order it up. I know I would use the heck out of it! I wonder if they have it at that same site as the plug-in one. Hmm..... Supersaver rationalization is starting to come into play here.

$50 free shipping? Well, heck - load up that cart! We are supersavers!

Bonza - thanks for the info and link. I will have to scour that site well before I put through my order!

Jinksy, if you find both items at one place, let me know, and I'll do the same.

And the Berry Brulee is terrific (thanks again, Sea!)! It smells just like I am baking the real thing. It has just the right amount of syrupy fruit smell - a warm, dessert fruit smell, not a cool scent like some of the fruit scents can be. I am definitely putting it on my "buy" list.

We've had some very heavy rain today which started early this am. (15" in some parts of the county). All the streets were badly flooded as well as several homes and power came down, etc. And the roof of the local BB&B caved in totally as it couldn't take the weight of the rain. The BB&B is one of four stores in a shopping center about a mile away from me. The other two stores, Michaels and Marshall's, have been closed down too as their roofs are apparently like swimming pools and could go at any time. There were about 20 customers in the BB&B when the roof came crashing down right over the check-outs. Amazingly, only one person got hurt (minor) and was taken to the hospital. All stores are going to be closed indefinitely as the whole roof structure over them needs to be replaced, so I'm hoping my tart addiction and enabling will slow way down now that my local suppliers of burners, silicups, and ramekins are shut down. Aren't I the lucky one, LOL. The BB&B looked like a total mess on the news tonight with merchandise and debris floating out in the parking lot. All I could think about was those $14.99 silicups floating away :-(

Ooh.. Not necesarily a silver one (my computers are black, well I guess the base of my FP monitor is silver.. but one that is just a bit bigger.. is that the warming surface itself??? might accommodate my cherry jubilee ramekins!!! That would be supercool!

Isn't Berry Brulee wonderful? I had to order a bag once I tried it! Berry Brulee, like Lisa's Raspberry Zinger.. are in the bakery section for a reason, that buttery flavor!!

Yeah, I had a TP of Kristen's Sweet passion and it smells wonderful but I'm not sure I've actually melted one or just enabled people so far..

AND!! I got my box today and my free bag was a whole bag of BNB! Can't complain about that and I have a couple of people I want to enable (Zachsmom is one) and now I'll have BNB to really hook 'em!

My Sampler contains:

Black Cherry
Blackberry Sage
Caramel Velvet Creme (type)
Citrus & Sage
Fresh Squeezed Orange
Italian Fortune Cookie
Lemon Drop
Lemon Sugar (type)
Lovely (SJP type) 2
Mulberry Wine
Ocean Mist

May the silicups float your way, Holly.

Wow sounds horrible! And three major enabler stores in one fell swoop, too.

Sea - great free bag - you deserved it! Great sampler bag, too.

I know I am late to the Waffle Cone party but I am finally trying it and it's great - very buttery!
