Isn't it wonderful?? You did good, Bonza, picking that one out. You must have had an inkling that you'd like it since you tried to put it on your order under 2 different names. lmao.

I returned home just a bit ago and even though I had the warmer off for several hours, the scent hit us as we walked through the door. Mmmmmmmmmm. So soothing.

I must say with all honesty that if you already have Blackberry Sage, the BR&V is so similar there really is no need to order it also...but I loooove Blackberry Sage and this one is heavenly too, so I just can't help myself. rmao.

Bonza - what is your impression - can you detect any real differences between the two? It's been a few weeks since I melted a Blackberry Sage.

What's on your list, Joely? Oh no!

It's eerily like Blackberry Sage. I agree Julip.

Thanks for the confirmation, Bonza. Still, the voices in my head are telling me to buy a whole bag.

Glad the Kohls ramekins are super cute!

Hmm, I'm BAAACK! and I also got out .. we have no Homegoods.

I stopped first at a place called Country Store or some such generic name and they had no ramekins. They had lots of Yankee Candle products with a sign saying all the prices were jumping soon due to Petroleum prices going up So, I feel better than ever using the soy products.

Then I had to hit Barnes & Noble.. hey it was THERE.. and I knew I wanted Cyndi Lauper's Accoustic CD.. but I was looking at their sale items and I spied these nested cloth-covered round containers. they are sort of velvety. 50% plus my 10% member discount, so I got three sets in three colors. The lavender one is opened up to show all three containers. They might be useful with tarts..

So then I stashed that stuff in the trunk and walked a few feet over to Kohl's..

I ran into the same set that Julip posted this morning (or maybe not.. they are not labelled tabletops unlimited..) and I got the small ramekin/bowls in plum, yellow, cobalt and RED! (they had lime green and pale orange too). The label on the bottom is Corsica Home.. Hand painted, hand crafted, dishwasher safe, made in China..

Very cute!

These were $5.99 but on sale buy one, get one free!

But then, I fell in love! I only got two but am already rethinking this decision.. These are just a bit big, it seem, for the warmer surface, but I have one in use right now trying out my tarty of Black Raspberry & Vanilla and it is melting!

These cuties are called Sonoma Lifestyle, Cherries Jubilee and there were some other very cute pieces to this line! Dishwasher safe, oven proof and microwave proof..

$3.99 each but again Buy one get one free!!

I saw NO SIGN of the blue, red, yellow or other colors of ramekins like the Pier 1 white ones.. and I looked carefully.

I did see one pack and a small stack outside a pack of the silicups..

The bowls are the same size as the one Paj sent to Julip..

the containers are.. I think the large one in each set is 7"-8" in diameter (I'm just too tired to go measure those).

Sea - what a haul! I am no longer asking for everyone's rami count - ding ding ding...we have a winner. Sea!

The boxes are beautiful! Love the colors. And omigosh are the rami colors lovely. I love love jewel tones and those really are gorgeous. I love how Angelina is standing guard, too. rofl Does she think she is getting "kitty buffet"?

What I love about the Paj enabled bowl is that it is large, yet the base is small, so it fits on the warmer very nicely.

I missed the real "money shot" when Angelina couldn't resist putting her paw in the red bowl..

And I must agree that the Black Raspberry and Vanilla is very nice but I'm not sensing that it is all that different than Blackberry Sage, although I haven't melted one of those in awhile either.

BS and BR&V are really close. I am almost out of Blackberry Sage, so it will be a good excuse to get the BR&V.



Looks like I'm outta here, too, but to bed - how it got so late here on the east coast, I'll never know lol. Have fun playing with all your new stuff, Sea. Make sure you post photos of your ramekin display cabinet when you get it all set up.

Oh boy! Tarts flying across the country as we speak. I can't wait to hear about all the goodies when they arrive.

BTW - if anyone has been watching for Baked Apples to come back in stock...guess what? She just got more oil in yesterday ... so it can officially be ordered again.

I think she is still shooting for the end of Jan. for the new Valentine's scents (which I have a feeling I will have to try the majority of ). I don't think I can hold out for a week to place another order, so I think I am in danger of placing 2 orders in a matter of a week just to take advantage of the sale. Yikes!

Jinksy - I forgot to mention how good your house must smell - Cini Buns, Strawberry Cheesecake, and Baked Apples? Yum! As you know Baked Apples and Cini Buns is one of my favorite mixes, so them melting at the same time must be a heavenly nose bouquet as you walk about. SC is one of my favorites. It started out as a limited edition last year, but it was so popular, she brought it back. That is a good one to mix with a cookie scent too.

Oh, and Alyce said now that she actually likes this new sugar cookie scent better than the last one she used...so hopefully it will be a winner with all of us!

Sea - I would have loved to see Angelina's paw in the ramekin. You have to keep vigil with the camera at the ready. lol.
