Hi Tartettes. Is everyone well and happy?

Green Apple--is that a new one, Julip? I need to go and check Alyce's board to see if she's back up yet. Sounds as though there may be some new scents listed (unless GA has always been there )

WooHoo! I'm officially stalking my mailman!

It's COLD and rainy here and actually hailed for about 30 minutes. The boys were amazed... SNOW!!! haha

I took them to see the Curious George Movie and it was fun. Rainy days are meant to be, but hopefully this won't last long!

Blackberry Sage still going strong!

OMG ... thanks Julip! I needed that! neiner, neiner Bonza... I drank it all! But, I'll leave you some donuts or something in your folder. :-)

We had a REALLY HARD rainburst last night!! I was upstairs getting ready for bed so I could hear it through the windows and the roof and then it hailed just for awhile.. I could hear that as it hit the exhaust pipes for the fans in the bathrooms. Didn't last long though.

But wind and rain galore.

I've been warming Fresh Baked Cookies and the last of a Waffle Cone TP...

Day 2 of Strawberry Waffles throughout the house. Considering this is from 3 warmers, each with 1/3 of a SP and 1/3 of a WC, and the tarts are new uncured ones I am very pleased. Just one side effect so far, I had to run to Kroger's for more toaster waffles and strawberry preserves...

LOL Cathie - yum yum, real and faux strawberry waffles wafting through your house!

Crazy weather out there in not-so-sunny-CA! My brother forwarded an article to me about inches of snow and slush on 101 up in my bay area hometown that caused a fatal accident - yikes!

Joely - on the mailman having someething for you! It sounds like you and the boys had a fun day despite the weather.

Bonza - here is a cup *just* for you. Hopefully you get to it before Joely does. lol


Eileen - the Joeli's Green Apple was a retired scent from a couple of years ago that Alyce brought back for a one-time group buy last year. Hopefully the mac apple will be just as yummy!

Julip - I got it and thanks!!! I'm a bit of a drowned rat tonight!

I dropped a Tart Starter Kit off with a girlfriend here in the Palm Springs area, where I am for the Weekend Desert Rain & Shitty Weather Festival. She is very excited and I bet she has already started warming something wonderful.

I am sure we have another happy customer.

LOL Despite the theme of the Festival, it sounds like everyone had a great time - and a big bonus to your friend to be gifted with a custom Bonza tart kit. I am sure she has already been to Alyce's site about 20 times.

Chalk up another victim!

Sea, the Blackberry Sage was a "good interesting." Smelled more like blackberry, but it wasn't overpoweringly sweet.

I've got the banana nut bread on right now, and I'm not too wild about it. Although I misspoke earlier about this one, I'm of the "not sure it smells like BNB".

I tend to like citrus (all types), spices (including cinnamon and clove), and flowers. I'm not real big on most fruits, although the blackberry sage is proving me wrong!

The order I placed a week ago was for tarty parts in lilac, hawaiian sandalwood, gardenia blossoms, citrus melange, and lime blossom. I wanted patchouli, but she was out. And I want an amber, so Alyce is gonna see what she can come up with.

I thought about a couple of other scents, like the plumeria and some of the lemons, but decided I to keep the order down to just five scents to try. (All of the are new to me except for the lilac, which I have from Seamonkey's enabling kit but haven't used yet.)

I also wanna try the honeysuckle vine and fresh cut rose, and maybe the Constant Comment as well as the night-blooming jasmine and paperwhite narcissus.

Yikes! I guess I am kinda flowery, huh? :-)

And yes, we did have some freaky weather yesterday. Howling winds, pouring rain, thunder/lightning, hail, snow down to the 1600 ft level, floods... and about an hour before sunset the most AWESOME rainbow (only about a block away, as I could see the rainbow in front of some buildings just east of me). We haven't had much weather this winter, so I guess Mother Nature decided we needed to catch up. And gave it to us all in one day!

Hi ya, Costakitty!

I just read your post above and thought I would share a couple of things from my experience..the Fresh Cut Rose is nice and not too strong. It's kind of a soft rose which I like. And the Constant Comment is also nice if you like fruity (especially citrus) and spicy smells! Hope this helps, Costa.

I love how differently we all experience these things.. I had half a tart of Fresh Cut Rose but it made me sneeze! However I'm pretty sensitive to many scents..

THat rainbow sounds wonderful! I read in the paper that it snowed in Silverado Canyon so I assume it might have snowed in Modjeska, where I lived for over a decade.

I have some Constant Comment to try and on cold sniff it smells EXACTLY like the tea! Very good.

Hey Baby girl! Thanks for the info on the rose... and your comments are purr-fect (some roses can be too strong!). I like spicy citrusy, so thought Constant Comment would be a fun scent.

That rainbow was AWESOME! The best I've seen in years (and last winter we had a LOT of rainbows here). It even started to become a double (halfway) for a few minutes. I couldn't believe how close it was though. And that I could see both start and end. Really cool. By the time I thought to go grab a camera I realized I wouldn't get the whole thing in one shot anyways.

I'm warming BNB again... it's working really well to get the smell of the gigundous pot of vegetable soup I made tonight! :-)

Hi Tartettes, I wanted to let you know I warmed a macintosh apple tart the other day and loved it! I would definitely buy a whole bag if Alyce offers them. Someone from Delphi sent me a fun sample pack and that one was in it. Really yummy.

Bonza- Hope you had a great time at the "Weekend Desert Rain & Shitty Weather Festival" lmao.

Welcome back, Jinksters! . Glad to hear you loved the Mac Apple. It sounds like one I'd like, too.

Sea - I believe Mac Apple is a brand new scent - she had the Green Apple before...the good news is that mac apple is already on the 'coming soon' list, which she hopes to be available for ordering when she reopens the store!

Plus, an Amber scent is on the "shopping" list, and she is feeling out Delphi members' opinions on what is an "ick" scent to them based on the names of the scents she is thinking of ordering. Amber, I don't think, has ended up on any, or very few, lists, so we just may see that one very soon.

I see where Pink Lime is coming back. That should be of interest to some people.

===

Oh and these are scents Alyce posted as likely for Spring/Summer:

Now I am shopping for samples and such but is there anything on this list that just by the name you won't like nor order. Please just post the scent names of the ones that make you think "ick" this will help me narrow things down. I may come up with more later on :-) I just need some ideas on what you would like. Also the people who asked for Tahiti Sweetie try my coconut milk and peach scent.

Hydrangea

Lemon Grass

Raspberry Violet

Tulips

Wisteria

Amber

Apricot

Brown Sugar and Fig (type)

Chocolate Almond Cookie

Cinnamon Oatmeal Buns

Eucalyptus

Ginger Bergamont

Grapefruit Leaf

Grapefruit Watermelon

Green CLover and Aloe

Mint Julep

Creamsicle (will have to change the name due to TM)

Peaches and Cream

Pecan Pie

Saguaro Cactus

Stargazer Lily

Bamboo Lily

Coconut

========

Joely!! Creamsicle!!!! WE need to go and let her know we want it since a few people are listing it as ICK.. and Alyce will not be making all these scents.

Yay! Amber!! (It'll probably end up with amber with vanilla notes.)

I should probably tell her my "ick's". But I begged for amber so I should shut up. But... coconut???? Pecan Pie????

LOL!

Mmmm...I love coconut smells! But Pecan Pie and the cookie and oatmeal ones I put on the "ick" list when I posted since those are more fall/winter scents for me and I have loads of bakery scents already....though none really are "ick" to me.

I also could not help myself and mentioned the ones I hope make the cut - Grapefruit leaf, coconut, saguaro cactus. I need some new Springy scents. :o)

I can't post over there yet; something about a 72 hour wait after signing up.

Y'all... please post to keep amber on the good list and off the "ick" list!!! Pretty please?

Grapefruit leaves would make my MUST list, too! But what the heck does a saguaro cactus smell like??? :-)

Julip- I'd go for the coconut too! And the two lily scents have me curious.

Sea- Thanks for posting the list. It's fun to see what might be coming.

If the stargazer lily and tulip are anything like the Yankee Candle scents, they should be a nice floral scent. Both of them are pretty unique, but not overpowering. I have YC tarts in both fragrances.

Jinksy - I am very curious about the Bamboo Lily as well! I am surprised at how many florals I have ended up liking, so I hope Alyce chooses several of those.

Costa - lol I have no idea what a saguaro cactus might smell like - never stuck my nose right up to one to check! But I like 'green' scents, so it has me intrigued (one of my faves is a retired scent called "Tomato", which smells more like a tomato plant leaf - no 'tomato' at all).

Good to know about the YC florals - many of the scents she brings out are dupes of YC and other brands, so it could very well be just like those.

I wasn't aware of a fragrance associated with a saguaro cactus.. even when it blooms, but who knows?

The YC Macintosh Apple is very nice!

I'm interested in Brown Sugar and Fig.. it is going on ICK lists but several people posted and said they have smelled the original and people would be sorry if they "ick"ed it off the list.
