Paj - oh, it is a yummy one. I think you'd probably like it!

Bonza - Yes, everyone order White Choc Mac Cookie! LOL! Oh well, if it goes, it goes. It's not like I don't have a bunch of other bakery tarts to keep me busy.

Joely - I still have to try that Lime Blossom, it sounds great! I am sure I have one around here somewhere...

Here's a phone described as "traditional mini-wall phone", but it is hard to tell what it really looks like from the small picture.

Ha! Got to my grammatical boo-boo before the 10 minute edit time limit passed this time.

::: Cute Ramekin Alert ::: at HomeGoods / T.J. Maxx

Bargain, too - $2.99 for a set of two, I saw them in blue and orange. Below is the blue, and I'm sure the color will be impossible to really judge from the photo. This is a light blue, similar to the color of CozyChic™ we refer to as "Janie Blue".

Juli, I bought the warmer off eBay. I don't know the brand, but it's actually marketed as a coffee mug warmer. The paperwork that came with it showed a mug on the warmer. It's got high and low settings, but low isn't warm enough for tarts. I like the warmer I bought at JoAnn much better, though. I probably should have resisted the eBay purchase, but oh well...

Bonza Love your piggie :-) Thanks for the cheap ramekin alert. Did they have them in pale green--that's what I'm looking for now to match my green warmer.

Paj That looks like the warmer Wal-Mart sells. They are only 9 watts and not really strong enough to melt tarts. (Check the bottom--it should state the wattage there.)

Paj - I think we all have at least one ebay purchase we feel we should have resisted! Sorry to hear it isn't as usable as you would have liked...but it sure looks nice! I do really like my Jo-Ann's one, too.

Bonza - those new ramies of yours are adorable! I love the extra lip at top, and what a nice color - so conveniently matching the Janie blue. You really scored with such nice ramies at an unbeatable price. Way to go!

Holly - I didn't see them in pale green and I scoured the store for additional colors. That's the thing about the hit-and-miss aspect of HomeGoods/TJ Maxx/Marshall's... Julip finds purple polka dots and we spend the rest of our lives looking for same!

Paj - over time, as you acquire one or two more, that warmer can become your back-up warmer. You just never know when one of them will stop working and you will be glad you still have that one.

Holly, they are nowhere near a bargain, but if you can't find pale green anywhere else, I believe at Williams-Sonoma they have pale green ramies that are just like my pale pink ones I got there. They don't show the colors other than the pink on the website. I think they are $6.50 each, but they are pretty!

I honestly cannot remember if I am dreaming the green, or if they actually had it. I know they had pale yellow and I believe pale blue. If you are at all interested, I would suggest calling W-S first before making the drive.

LOL Bonza - I just know I could not have picked up the only pack of those in existence. I really hope they show up in one of your Homegoods, and that you are in the right place at the right time!

Thanks for the WS tip, Julip. I too have scoured the Home Goods and TJ stores weekly, searching for those Polka Dotted rammies. In my HG store, they have everything else relating to dinnerware in the Polka's but not any rammies. I've even googled them, to no avail. You have to believe you got the one and only pack ever made, LOL.

Too late!! I got home and snatched up that box.. and it is really a pretty small box.. Joely's packers (even if that means Joely) did an excellent job..

and since Joely can't STAND it.. midnight, white, pink and stone... lol.. it wouldn't let me order silversage.

And Bonza.. we have sweet-smelling arrival :-)

Very nice, thank you!

Now I have to decide which one to wear tomorrow (IF it isn't hot tomorrow, of course).

Woo hoo, Sea - A Tarts and CC Day...what could be better than that?

Holly - I googled for those, too, and I am amazed that they are nowhere to be found - not even on ebay! I can barely find anything made by "Grestel" online!
