Heh heh - she thought it up the other night...quoting Sea from my folder: "I see a velour quilted drawstring bag, probably purple in color, and within one would find one warmer, one ramekin and assorted tarts which would be in silicone cups, in baggies. Ready to travel." And then she thought up this variation to the purple velvet bag when she was browsing the Papermart site that Bonza sent us to: Polypropylene Printed Bags Sounds like the perfect travel accessory, don't you think?! Now I just have to work on packing less so I can fit all that in my bag.

BTW, all - T.J. Maxx (which also owns HomeGoods) had a lovely array of ramekins. I felt a ramekin disorder coming on today when I had two sets of 4 in my hands, and I don't need any. In fact, I just remembered a set of 4 blue Emile Henry ramekins I have had for years, part of a EH bake set. So I put the TJ Maxx sets down and backed away slowly... ETA: but Julip, they did have a set of 4 Le Creuset in white, like the wonderful red one you gave me. It was hard to put it down!

Ya'll just coming to the intervention to raid the tart cart, and you know it. rofl omg Bonza. Those blue Emile Henry ramekins are beautiful! I just adore your custom tags, too . The ramekins are a perfect match with the sili-cup! I am so proud of you for backing off of the packages of ramekins lol. What kind of ramekins were they??

Julip - I knew you'd like the tag. Yes, we want to raid the cart as soon as they cart you off to rehab. We will guard it for you. Not to worry. TJ Maxx had a set of 4 white Le Crueset ($9.99). I love the red one you gave me so naturally I grabbed those in white. Nevermind that I have maybe a dozen white & off white ramekins. I held onto those and picked up another set of 4 that were $7.99 but I was not familiar with the brand. They were adorable - apple green with a slightly wavy top tim. That's when I had the little talk with myself and put everything down!

Paj- Welcome to the soy tart mania! Yes, I paid only $4 for that round basket with handles. And I did get it a Pier 1. They were having a 50% off sale on all their baskets. Hopefully the sale is still on. Good luck, hope you find it! Joely- The 25th works perfect, I'm actually off and will be able to fly in for the intervention. Or is it a convention? We could force Julip to share her stash with all of us. Woo-hoo. Julip- Love your little worker bees enjoying some much deserved downtime after pumping out all those tarts. Hmmm...I'm starting to think you might be Alyce. rmao. Bonza- What's this? More ramekins? You did put them both down and walk away, Right? These disorders hit us hard, Don't they?

I've got a lot of Sea Petals tarts to buy before Jan. 25th, then. Oh, those apple green ramekins you found sound adorable! Maybe leave your sensible side home next time you go. Now I'm thinking I need a stand-alone tea cupboard to showcase my ramekin collection. The disorder continues...

Julip - please don't call it a collection or I'll get back in my car right now and pick up those green ramekins. Next thing you know, I'll have a niche devoted to them! Jinksy - I did put them down but now Julip is making me go back for them..... Paj - that photo I posted above with Bonza The Cat in front of a wall of plasic crates - that might appear to be my organization but that's Joely's inventory! And welcome to TartVille!

Ok, I won't call it a "c" word...how about a "limited edition". tee hee. I think a niche full of ramekins will look so perfect in your house! Ha! - blame it on the spinny guy up above...he made you do it.

Julip- Just how many ramekins and warmers do you own? I'm very curious now that I've seen your impressive collection of tarts.

Hmmm...about 5 or 6 warmers, but they are not all in use. And ramekins..hard to say. More than 12 I have purchased more, since they usually come in the 4-packs, but many I split up and take one or two, and keep the rest on hand to include in the gift bags. My ramekin collection grew by leaps and bounds the last month, though. Hmm...wonder why?

So far, I have only one warmer (well and the three I bought at Michael's but I think one of those will go to Tucson and one to my hairdresser (PRAY that my tart order arrived tomorrow or all she will get will be sea petals ).. I plan to give her a warmer and one of the 8 white ramekins I got at Pier 1 (unless I get over to Pier 1 looking for baskets tomorrow and see some fancy ramekin for her) and some sili-cups and hopefully TARTS! I have the delicious red Le Creuset from Julip and then the 8 white girthy ramekins I got on sale at Pier 1, 36 sili-cups and a partridge in a pear tree, but I won't melt anything around the partridge. Well, if I get Amazing Grace in my grab bag or ACK! in my free dozen (she wouldn't do that, would she?) Jinksy shall have them since she is without felines and birds.

A gross of ramekins? I may have a disorder, but I am not that far gone. LMAO I meant 12 ramekins, but I was being coy, since I think we all have 12 (since that is merely 3 Marshalls/HomeGoods packs. In other words..how many ramekins do I have? tee hee. ...but I'm willing to bet I don't have as many as some of you at this point!

I have purchased a set of 4. That's is so far. I don't think we can count the supply I've owned for years, right?

I'm going to have to order this puppy to keep my tarts straight! Wait till I get a labeler, you'll ALL be jealous! There's even room for my extra ramekins!

Has anyone tried the Hyacinth or Peony? They are two of my favorite scented flowers, and I wonder if they will be as good as I anticipate they could be.

Bonza - ohhh no. Any ramekin that you even think will end up as a tart warmer must be counted. So, 'fess up. omg Joely. That is the Pottery Barn apothecary cabinet I have been drooling over forever! Sounds like you may have been, too?

Cathie - I have not tried either of those, though I think I had a sample of the Pink Peony at one time and thought the cold throw smelled nice - it didn't make me sneeze like some floral scents tend to make me do. I believe I may have given it away, though, so I can't go check it again! You may want to visit the main message board for Soyful Joys (linked from Alyce's site) and do a search for Peony to see if anyone posted a review recently. Or, you can always post there asking for a review, too!

Julip, I just got the matching cabinet delivered yesterday and was thinking... hmmm... those little drawers at the bottom would be PERFECT for tarts if I didn't have things like placemats and dinner napkins to store there.
