Sea- Your pulling a Bonza and making up names. lol. I was thinking, hmm that raspberry sage sounds terrific. I'm familiar with the blackberry sage and like that one too.

Jinksy You wrote in the review folder that Amazing Grace cannot be melted around cats or birds. Why is that? Ps...I just saw your two pugs in your profile--just beautiful

I did my after-work shopping and found a few bargains. My BB&B had the Yankee Candle tarts on sale for $1 each, but they only had Buttercream and Mistletoe left. I bought a coule of Buttercream and they smell great through the package...will try them soon. They did not have the silicone muffin cups there, so I will probably order them from Amazon--6 for $9.99. I went to Garden Ridge to see what they have, since I knew from this board the general prices at Michael's and Pier 1. I found a white ramekin the size to fit on a burner for $.69. They only had one left, though, so I scooped it up. The electric burners were $4.99, so I got one of those. I found a bargain that I would have missed if I hadn't read the packaging, as it didn't look like anything to do with a candle or a tart from the aisle. It is a wire basket with a glass dish for the tart and a tealight holder on bottom, made by Hallmark. It doesn't go with every decor, but reminds me of the wire egg baskets if you like them. Best part was the price, $3.00. They have dozens of them. If anyone is interested and can't find a nearby Garden Ridge let me know and I'll send it to you. Attempting to post a photo of it...
Garden Ridge also had some tarts for $.49 each. I bought Grandma's Apple Pie, Vanilla Birthday Cake and Pear Blossom. The brand is Evergreen & Ivy (never heard of them.) I am anxious to try all of these while I wait for my sample pack from Alyce!

Holly, Alyce has a warning on the Amazing Grace scent that it has essential oils that would be harmful to cats and birds. Not sure why, maybe Julip knows more about it. That is my favorite scent so far! Along with BNB and VHS. Thank you about the puglets! They are a sweet pair.

LMAO about Sea pulling a Bonza with the Raspberry Sage. It sounds like a delightful scent, and one I'd love since I looove the real Blackberry Sage! lol Bonza - that Lang warmer you pulled up is one I've been eyeing for months! Most Langs are a bit too "country" for me, but this one of theirs I would truly consider. I also like the one with the dog and cookie. lol! And I love all the other ones you found, with the animal prints! Keep an eye on that site and others you find when you search "Lang" because I have seen them on sale! Ebay too, of course. Joely - Yes, Alyce does indeed work from home. She said there are some scents she pours that sends her running from the house! I can only imagine what it smells like there, especially during this rush of orders! Jinksy - pop open that champagne and get that order going, girlie! woo hoo! 6 months to BB! Better go get stocked up on the Costco pb. rofl Hey Jinksy, maybe you can convince Alyce to make you a pb tart.

Bonza- How do you like the lavender vanilla tart? It sounds so nice in Alyce's description. Cathie- Great find! The buttercream sounds wonderful. Yummy.

Cathie - great shopping deals today! Buttercream is one of my favorite YC scents, so I hope you enjoy that one. It is yummy. That is a great looking tart warmer you got, and what a steal! Holly - I think Alyce has a link to the explanation of why essential oils are harmful to cats and birds... hmm...well, she used to. Here is what I found on search: Essential Oils Toxic to Cats & Birds Amazing Grace is the only current scent she has that has essential oils. If she were to add others, she will add the warning, so not to worry, fellow cat owners! And Jinksy, you lucky girl, getting to enjoy that scent!

Oh Julip- My heart just skipped a beat when I read about the pb tart! I would order a whole bag without even testing it. lol. I was just over a Alyce's site filling up my cart trying to get to fifty for the free bag and I must have somehow mistakenly closed the webpage and my whole cart was wiped clean. Uggh! I hate that. I hope when she does the website over, you will be able to save items for later. That would be awesome.

Jinksy - the Lavender Vanilla is heavenly cold. I am just now burning it for the first time and so far, I love it! That is a a bummer about losing your entire order. I hate it when that happens. Julip - I will look for them on eBay also. I'm afraid I might have more than one soon. lol

B ~ you scared me for a minute... I thought WHAT? Someone lost their order (thinking in the mail!)... awh, half the fun is filling the cart! Jinks is a PRO at shopping... she'll have NO problems! What is weird is that I just went to her site and put something in my cart and there was something in there from 2 weeks ago... BNB, which now, thanks to Jinks, I don't need! So, it must be your browser?

Bonza "my computer guru", Is it my browser? How would I know? I just may have to add that lavender vanilla to my cart. Thanks for the review. You're right Joely, half the fun is filling the cart but when you have to type in all those tarty part names it's not quite as fun to redo. But as a professional shopper I think I will manage. lmao.

My new tart testing method may be leaving the room and coming back in, sniffing.... lol..... when I did that just now, I noticed that I am smelling more lavender than vanilla when it's in full swing. I like it a lot! Very nice. (We need a nose smilie!) Hmmmm... your browser? I am so lame when it comes to <ahem> Windows software. But now you are tempting me to go play with an order.

Jinksy - it could have something to do with your cookies. No, that is not a tart. But if your browser is set to clear cookies when a browser window closes (do they even do that?), that would have wiped your order. Joely, on the other hand, had old and stale cookies that helped her order stay in her cart for two weeks. I'm being silly now.........

That is quite the sobering article, Julip!! and when it mentioned liver problems.. seems like so many kitties have problems with that area and it makes you wonder about scented candles too. The link from the one article to the one about the scented oils talked more about cats having contact with the actual oil and then ingesting it and having ulcerations and such but the essential oiles! And lots of them, too. I'm staring at my yankee tarts with a jaundiced eye right now. Also now wondering about scented laundry additives too! I mean, when I got Critter I had 50 houseplants and now have none.. partly because she was too hard on plants but also because some can be toxic so they were shuffled outside. And I haven't burned a candle in decades but that was for flames.
