Hello everyone, been reading but not posting here much. I just placed a new tart order and am very excited, Got some great ones--all recommendations from you guys. Got an email from Alyce about Fresh Baked Cookies being discontinued. I was sad. I think I do remember reading that here though. Can't wait for it to get here!!!

Mama - I saw that FBC was now gone from the site...oh no! Were you able to get a bag ordered before the sell-out? I hope so. If not, there are so many other good ones. What are you looking forward to in this next order? Some of the Seasonals may come back, but I have seen so many favorites discontinued, that it makes for a good excuse to get another order in.

Juli, thanks for asking about Katze! This tart addiction has taken over, so no CC for her yet. Hopefully soon! She keeps me warm, though. Last night I had two throws (not CC ) over me and she was on top of them. I wish my camera had been in reach. She looked so cute lying there content as can be. One of these days I will get a nice picture of her and post it. She moves too fast for me! ETA: No sibling yet. I've been too busy on weekends to go look. She seems fine by herself, but I'm sure she'd love a brother or sister. I'm still thinking on it...

I almost forgot to report about my "tart accessory research" today! I went to A.C. Moore (east coast store similar to Michaels) and they had a large version of the Candlesense - the warming plate is made to accommodate jars/ramekins up to 4 1/4" in diameter. It looked huge! Nice for those larger ramekin finds we have found too cute to pass up. And no, I did not pick one up. lol They also had a pretty glossy ceramic electric warmer in different colors (pale blue, pale pink), with a bulb base and a removable matching high sided "bowl", but the bulb was rather large, so I think it may have been a 25 watt, which I don't normally like to use.

Paj - so nice to hear Katze is keeping you warm...that is the important thing, right? It sounds like she is just loving life with you, and I'm sure getting into some mischief to keep things interesting. Isn't that always the way? My camera is always out of reach when the cats are doing something extremely cute! Bonza seems to have that special knack of always being in the right place at the right time with her kits, though!

Paj - I bet Katze is just adorable - we look forward to photos when the time is right. I know how that is about her keeping you warm - there are times when the cat contact is more than enough. They make me warm all the time! Julip - I am sure P&B are so tired of the cameras. lol. Bonza was sitting so cute last night on the drizzle/white CC™ blankie and I just didn't have the heart to flash that flash in his crossed eyes. I stopped myself - he's a lucky kitty that I sometimes show restraint. lmao. OMG - Fresh Baked Cookies is gone?!

Julip - your "tart accessory research" today has been so exemplary. We are all in your debt... I have come close to ordering the celery or seafoam two-piece burner from this morning's research. Still might. Yes, Crocodile Dundee, the Cat Whisperer, is very endearing. And Sea & Holly - those Anchor Hocking ramies with lids - those look interesting too. Seriously, so many accessories, so little time. lol

lol Bonza - P&B know they have it good, so I am sure they endure the cameras not unlike our favorite celebrities. And are you sure you did not mean I am sending you all into debt? woo hoo! Glad to hear you like that warmer. It is pretty, and I too like both the seafoam and celery the best. I wonder what the wattage is on that warmer? Boo hoo about Fresh Baked Cookies - but it only reminds me that I must keep ordering my tried and true favorites in the regular categories so that Alyce has a reason to keep them in stock!

But how could Fresh Baked Cookies be discontinues already? Certainly not from lack of popularity!! And hardly even the most obsessesed of us has had time to get them (I ordered the very first night) and had them cure and used them up and reordered.. so there must be some other reason..

I'm just guessing here, but Alyce probably only gets in a limited supply of scent to make the "seasonals", those new releases. Sugar Cookie and Pink Lime were gobbled up almost immediately, and now others are selling out. Julip may be able to shed some light on the new scents and seasonals and what it takes for them to become regular items.

(mamapors sheepisly enters) I rechecked my email from Alyce. I tried to order Party Tarts in Fresh Baked Cookies--those were not available. I think the regular tarts are still available. (Sneeking out now.)

Hmmm... looks like Sugared Vanilla Glaze is available again--wasn't that a popular one that sold out in January?

Here are some pics of Katze from tonight. After she's played a while she gets a little sleepy...the perfect time to snap a few photos!

Bonza - you explained the new scents and seasonals perfectly! I'll just add that she may have planned the VDay scents to be limited because of unusually high costs from the particular supplier(s) she bought them from. I don't know the situation for these in particular, though. It could be the supplier just had very little of it available at this time. Sometimes she will have to discontinue a scent because it is very expensive to buy just a few scents as opposed to a whole group from one supplier. She is able to keep the costs low for us by trying to limit to a few suppliers, because shipping costs can get really expensive for small orders! From the few little tidbits I've heard from her about it, it sounds like just dealing with suppliers alone is quite a juggling act! Anyway, the best rule of thumb is, if you really like a scent, and you don't hear a lot about it here or on Delphi, stock up! You never know when it might disappear. She has had times where people begged for her to keep a scent, only for no one to buy it and she is stuck with x amount of pounds of scent sitting in her cabinet, until she ends up having to clearance it or throw it out. There have been several scents that many begged for that she eventually removed off the site, and no one noticed. I have observed it usually takes people an average of 2 months to figure out the scent is gone, and then the "freak out" and/or ISO post shows up on Delphi. lol

Mama - thanks for alerting us to the FBC! I did not notice they were gone till you mentioned it. Because of the limited supply of all the "Valentine's Day" scents, she was only allowing full-bag orders on those. Bonza, I love the Barbie's Tart House! What could be more perfect? Cathie - SVG was indeed very popular right here at TVCH - Joely especially loved it! I think she and a couple others here forced that one into "sold out" status. Alyce is giving it another go because of other people begging for it, but it is on the chopping block. So anyone who wants to try it... Holly - rofl! Paj - oh my, Katze is simply adorable! I love those fold over paws, too. She looks like a complete snuggle-monkey. What a sweet face!

Good morning everyone! Thanks for the compliments about Katze. I kind of think she's adorable too! Bonza, you can't see it in this picture, but she's got a dark ring almost all the way around her just under her neck. I'll try to get a picture of her that shows it. She is about 11 months old now. I got her at the Humane Society and of course they don't know her exact age. They guessed she was 9 months old when I got her at the beginning of January. I warmed Coconut Pear last night. I really like it, which surprised me. Sometimes coconut scents don't sit well with me, but the combination of coconut and pear is just right. Thumbs up!
