Bonza - Beach Baby ... Kady - good plan on the warmer. To be quite honest, out of all the warmers I've tried, the Candlesense ones at $4.99 (often cheaper on sale) are still my favorites. I have a teapot one with a lid that I had to throw away recently, because the hot plate stopped working right. The tart would only partially melt, even after being on for hours. Plus with the Candlesense, you can get cute ramekins and change the look of it, while also switching out tarts at a whim. Your scent list sounds terrific! Sea - I hope you are buried under CC and Critter, and taking good care of yourself!

Kady - Kohl's has very cute ramekins in 4-packs - red, yellow, navy, apple green. And Williams-Sonoma has beautiful pink porcelain ramies. (I recently enabled a friend who needed ramie #2, went for the pink and loves it.)

Bonza - I fear for any new tart addict who lives in Texas...due to your enabling, there will not be a warmer, ramekin, or silicup left in the whole state!

Kady, welcome to the tart club! If you like vanilla you can't go wrong with the Southern Vanilla. It's a nice, buttery one. I would highly recommend the Candlesense warmer and ramekin route. I burned lots of tea lights for a couple of days before I switched, and even though I have half a bag of tealights left I haven't used those burners in weeks. Also, if it is the candle itself that your hubby doesn't like he probably wouldn't consider the use of a tealight much of an improvement. Julip, so, I can blame the fact that I can't find silicups on Bonza??? Closest I can come to them here is on the internet...

Cathie - I think it is safe to assume that Bonza could be behind the shortage! She has been busy working overtime on getting the whole state of Texas addicted to tarts, one victim at a time! Good luck on finding the sili-cups - they are scarce here, too!

Julip - Jinksy will be touched. I happen to know of a BB&B in San Antonio that has a great supply of them. One of my victims actually offered to send some to me!

I sent the link to the thread to Alyce so she could see the signs for Beach Baby and Strawberry Cheesecake and this was her email response! LOL...I love the little sign. However I have the ability to wake to dead (well some of the dead) if you can gather sales of at least 10 dozen of the Beach Baby I will make a special buy of the Beach baby. As for Strawberry Cheesecake my powers don't go that far...the supplier yanked it from her stock. Alyce Who would order Beach Baby on their next order?

Alyce also said recently that she "could not give that Beach Baby away to save her life" lol so now is the time to jump on the bandwagon if you want it - I am sure she is not going to chance ordering oil for stock again after this! It is a wonderful scent, though - just overlooked, which happens to many great scents on Alyce's site, since there are so many!

i would order beach baby. the description sounds like something i would love. i'm back from town and picked up 2 candlescense warmers to get started. bonza...the ramekins you recommended sound cute but i have no kohls or williams-sonoma anywhere near me. i am going to target thursday and hope to find something there. if not there is a BBB in the same shopping center and a pier 1 very close by. pink is my favorite color and would match by bedroom. my walls are pink ice and i have white curtains and a white bedspread so it would work well with my white warmer. i have a jar candle on it now for about 15 minutes. shouldn't i be smelling something by now?

Kady - if you have a Wal-Mart nearby, they have the Corningware French white ramekins in packs of 2 - the smaller ones (3 or 4 oz?) work great on the warmer. They might have those at Target, too - though Target should have some type of ramie there. Depending on how large the jar candle is, it will probably take longer than a tart to melt the wax enough to start throwing out the scent...hopefully you are smelling something by now!

Update on Margaritaville - I'm loving it more the more it warms! I like it better when I am not in the same room as it, if that makes any sense. I have it in the family room, but it has scented the entire upstairs, and it smells wonderful. This will be a reorder for the summer, for sure. Olé!

Julip, Maregaritaville is one I want to try. I've heard nothing but good things about it. But every time it comes on sale on the swap board, it's swooped up within minutes. Glad to hear you endorse it too.

Hello Tarts! I have been out and about all day. Finally making it to post. You guys have been so busy here today Julip- I love my SC sign! Do you think if I post it at Delphi everyday, she'll reconsider and make more? lol. And I'm glad to hear Margaritaville is growing on you as it warms. It does seem like a nice summer scent. Sea- I sure hope you're feeling better soon. At least you have all your CC to keep you nice and comfy cozy Bonza- You lucky dog! Beach Baby just might happen again for you. I'd be happy to buy a bag to support your cause. So count me in if you need the numbers. Kady- Welcome to the wonderful world of tarts! Nice to have you with us. Cathie- I can hardly wait to try southern vanilla! That buttery description seals the deal for me

Oh, my - I can't believe my eyes! Last night I all but had a funeral for Beach Baby... I had some in a ramekin and decided to begin melting the tarts that I had started and not finished. I thought it would be appropriate to start with Beach Baby and mourn properly. I am not out yet, but this was a start to my closure. Honestly, I knew right away I could find so many replacements that I could be content to wave goodbye and look ahead. So that's what I am going to do! I sound like such an adult, don't I? I can't believe I'm not running to buy 10 bags! lol.

Julip - they do rave about Margaritaville at the SJ board - so it's good to hear you have joined the fiesta. Kady - I think you will have luck at the alternatives that Julip listed. So sorry the stores I mentioned aren't in your area. Williams-Sonoma sells the pink ramekins online, but I believe they are only in sets of 4 online. Is that right, Julip? Was it 4 or 2? Jinksy - thank you for your support - I only wish the SC was available for you! Joely - that is so cute that you managed to get Alyce's attention with Julip's custom signs!

Bonza- I'm so proud of you for not running out to buy the 10 bags! I can honestly say I would probably buy 10 bags if it was SC. lmao. But, you have a point, why delay the inevitable. Way to be strong my Sistah!

Kady, I have found the small ramekins at Linens 'N Things if you have one of those near you. Target and Walmart are usually also good places to find them. I had Pink Peony going all day at the office--it's very much like the real flower scent. I am loving it almost as much as Hyacinth!

Holly - If you like fruity scents, you are sure to like Margaritaville! I saw it being talked up on the Delphi board and it really piqued my interest. Thanks to Jinksy, who generously sent me her sample she got in her sampler bag, i got to try it. It is funny it doesn't wow me when I am too close to the burner, but once I'm in another part of the house, I can't get enough of it. LOL Jinksy - if you can attach your SC sign to your signature on Delphi, it's worth a shot. On the other hand, Alyce may put you on "ignore". lmao. Bonza - a funeral for Beach Baby? That is so sad. lol. You know you have at least 4 more tps coming anyway. If you change your mind about wanting more, I will definitely buy a bag for the group buy cause. Anything for a Sistah. Jinksy - I can totally believe you would become your own group buy for SC tarts. lmao Cathie - so glad you are enjoying the florals! They all sound beautiful.

I just looked on my inventory sheet and I have 6 TP of Beach Baby! I must try it after I get my sense of smell restored, but if it isn't a wow for me then it may arrive on Bonza's doorstop (or in har mailbox) at some point. After a shower and then a rest because I was exhausted, I finally got to Von's and rejected the split pea soup (only a notch above cockroaches, IMO) and they were down to the dregs of Baked Potato, BUT they had enough Tomato Dill soup for me to get a large and I'm loving that! Stocked up on germ killer kleenex, Nyquil and DAycare gelcaps, yogurt.. I'm home and enjoying the soup and feel stronger for it. NO tarts, though.

Sea - that is too funny that the inventory sheet was what told you that you had 6 tps of Beach Baby, and even funnier that I understand just where you are coming from. lmao And I hope you are getting some sleep tonight! Glad you got stocked up on your cold supplies. Do you have any echinacea? That always seems to do the trick for me, too. Glad you still have an appetite at least, and enjoyed your soup! Bonza - happy to hear you like Key Lime Pie! I might have to give that one another chance - it's been awhile since I tried that one.
