Sea- I think she got them at Ikea. Right Paj? I'm really happy with that rami too. It looks really cool and the silicone baking cups fit so perfectly.

Hi Holly, Thanks. Would you believe I already have to go back tomorrow? Boo-hoo.

Jinksy - we will miss you! Do you have your Tarts-To-Go kit ready for this trip?

Bonza- I'll miss you guys too! Try not to post too much, it makes it hard to catch up. lmao. I haven't gotten it together yet! But I'll have it ready for my next trip. That would be so nice to have my bedtime bath tarts with me on the road. I think that would make the perfect layover tart:-)

Jinky - just for you, we'll be very quiet.

I think Bedtime Bath on the road would be perfect. Don't forget to put your voltage converter in with the kit.

Rosie - that is such a funny photo! Poor little guy. I bet if we could zoom in on the kits, we would see drool. lol

Jinksy - believe me, it is not hard to mix-up my want list with my order list when there is hardly any time between the two and it all blurs into one. lmao The body mist is wonderful! I have it in Creamy Peppermint and I mostly have used it as a linen freshener, but it is also great as an aromatherapy waker-upper during the day.

Jinksy, I think you are right about Paj getting those cute ramies at Ikea. I wish I lived near one still - they are so cute with the silis. Thanks again, Paj!

Holly - thanks! It is still a cute ramie for tealight warming, and I am happy to convert this return to tart money. lol

Bonza - good thinking on reminding Jinksy about having a voltage converter with her future tarts-to-go kit! That would be sad to bring it all that way only to be left with cold tarts. lmao

There's really nothing worse than cold tarts.

An international tragedy.

I can see it now..

Country song alert: Jinksy, Let me Warm Your Cold, Cold Tart!

Yes that stuff lasts a long time as a linen refresher!

Target did have a variety of the white girthy ramies and the white girthier ramies :-)

Luckily, I've already picked up the converter. Now, I just need to get the tart-to-go kit ready. There will be no cold tarts for this chick. That would be an international tragedy indeed.

Sea- rmao over "Country song alert: Jinksy, Let me Warm Your Cold, Cold Tart!"

Julip- I love the idea to use the body mist as linen spray! Oh, the bedtime bath is going to be perfect for that. Good thinking:-)

Jinksy - I can't take credit for the body mist as freshener...I either heard that from Alyce or one of the Delphites! I agree Bedtime Bath would be a perfect linen spray. The mist is also nice to use as a "finishing" spray on the hair for a nice scent, and it even leaves your hair soft.

Paj - warming RBF right now, and loving it!

Seamonkey gifted Raenstorm 'n me with a nice selection of tarts, and the warmer. It's too late for me to check 'em out tonight (gots to get to bed; 4am comes way too early), but am looking forward to trying 'em out tomorrow! Thanks, Sea!

Yup, enabled a couple more

Costa, I'm just paying forward since I was nicely enabled by Julip!

And in this thread you'll find the answer to pretty much any question about soy tarts, warmers, ramikins, sili-cups, etc.

My FBC finally died so I'm doing the Jinksy thing with a partially done tart of Lisa's Raspberry Zinger.

Welcome, Costa, to the World of Tarts! Since they came from Sea, I know you have been provided with a yummy smelling variety. I hope you enjoy them as much as we all do here!

Good morning, everyone!

New season of The Apprentice starts tonight (up against the 2 hour season finale of The Bachelor...set those DVRs!)!

So yesterday I made about three gallons of vegetable soup! Lots and lots of soup. And when I got home last night from having dinner with Seamonkey and Raenstorm, my house still smelled a tad bit like veggie soup. This morning, too. So I decided to check out the tart warmer and used the Berry Brulee (or whatever is was called). Wow! In a half hour, my house no longer smelled like vegetable soup!

I've used candle tarts in the past (Yankee Candles). But I've always used the tart warmer that you hadda to use a tea light. So naturally, they took a bit longer to get "going." The custard cup with the silicone muffin cup inside was a GREAT idea! And I love the electric tart warmer that Sea gave us.

I think I'm gonna have fun playing with these scents.

One thing though... Sea mentioned that there is one scent that is not good for kitties. I'm sure I could cruise around somewhere here or the Soyful Joys Web site, but I just KNOW one of y'all knows the answer! :-)

Joely, you're very welcome. I'm glad you like it and the tarts.

Juli, I was going to ask about Root Beer Float. I'm still working on a Toasted Almond Crunch and haven't warmed RBF yet. I'm glad you like it. Anyone else who has it not like it? I've heard such good things about it. Yay!!!

The small glass dish was purchased at IKEA. If anyone wants me to buy some for you just let me know. I find my way to IKEA every once in a while. Unfortunately, I got way too many ideas for organizing on my last trip. I do need to go again soon and narrow some things down! So, let me know if you're interested in some more small ramekins and I'll be happy to get them for you.

Happy Monday! (I think...)

Paj - is the TAC a real long lasting one? I will be interested to try it. I was going to pop that one in next, but I could not resist that RBF. It smells so good!

And thank you for your kind offer to pick up more of those dishes at Ikea! How much were they? I may consider buying a few more to make a set, and I'd of course also cover your shipping to me, too.

Costa - the only scent Alyce uses currently that is unsafe for cats is Amazing Grace, under designer scents, as it is made from essential oils. All others are safe. If she adds any essential oil scents in the future, she will have a notation on the description that will warn not to use around cats (or birds). HTH

Thanks Julip. One question... is it the SCENT that's bad, or the possibility that a critter could eat a tart made from essential oils? I'm not sure I understand why it's harmful (although if it is you can be sure I won't use 'em! <grin>).

Just curious... (like my cats!)

Oops - I should have included these 2 articles. I'll post it here, and then also in the 'links' folder upstairs:

Essential Oils and Cats: A Potentially Toxic Mix

The Lavender Cat

Components of essential oils are toxic to cats and birds.

Juli, I have warmed TAC at least 3 evenings when I get home from work until the next morning and just this morning the scent seems lighter, but still definitely there. So I guess that would be long lasting right? The glass dishes from IKEA are a whopping 99 cents, such a deal! Let me know what you'd like here or send me an email.

Paj Beautifully scented box arrived today :-)
Thank you for the dish and silicup--I really appreciate it and now, finally, get to see and hold one of those elusive "rubber thingies", LOL. The tarts all smelled great too. Hope yours arrive safely.

Did I do some good enabling or NOT?

Raenstorm was thinking of trying a tart in her room, though considering how late it was (Florida time) for her when she got to the room, she may have just decided to wait until she gets home late tonight.

Ah yes.. I couldn't think of Amaging Grace last night..

Paj I'll try our nearest IKEA first but if they don't have them, I'll be taking you up on your offer. That pyrex ramie is wonderful.. nice looking, stays cool on the top edge and looks SO good on my halo warmer too:

I have an IKEA quite nearby, but it is raining fairly hard so I'll go later in the week. Too bad I was wrong about Target or I'd have had them for Costacat and Raenstorm, but they got White ones from Pier 1.. and those are "classic".
