Just placed my second order. I double checked the names on my PT's, just to be sure I wasn't making them up, Bonza...LOL!!
I was sad that Margaritaville was sold out, since many of you rave about it. I got another sampler and PT's in Citrus Melange, Blueberry Verbena, Ginger Lime, and Lavender,Apples& Oak. It was hard to limit my choices...I tend to like citrus and floral smells. But.....I did burn White Choc. Macadamia Nut last night not expecting to really like it, and it did smell pretty yummy. It didn't help that my daughter walked in and said "mmmmm, it smells good in here. I want some of those".
I think I have to get some of the pastel sili's also..And I have 9.00 left on my Christmas gift card from Target....guess where I'm going after work????
You guys are bad and I'm lovin it..hehehehe

Crz - WCMNC is one of my favorites! I think it might be on the 'cut' list soon, though, since Alyce does not get a lot of orders for it. lol about your daughter thinking there was something yummy baking!

It sounds like you have some great scents to look forward to. And good idea to get another sampler. Be prepared to start liking scents you never imagined you'd like...before the SJ tarts, I strictly focused on 'clean' and 'spicy' scents, with a couple specific fruit scents, but never bakery. Now I have favorite scents in every category, especially bakery!

I ventured over to nearby Costa Mesa to go to a Baja Fresh - Yummy! and in the same center was a large Target.. so of course I wandered over there and bought all of those ramies that Cathie found (well, I left one that was chipped) but I also called Costacat from the store and she's taking four of them.. two will go for enabling and one yellow and one blue will be part of my upstairs kit that I'm building now for my bedroom.

LOL, Sea, I went back to Target to get some more Easter Enablers. Now, if Joanne will just put her colored warmers on sale again I'll be all ready!

I must say that just now while sorting out these ramies, they only say "dishwasher and microwave safe".. so hopefully they'll hold up on the warmers.. I would think so.

In a dimly lit room it was really difficult to tell the difference between them.

Very cute ramies!



I'm warming a Cinnamon Dolce (thanks to either Julip or Joely, I have one from each) but so far I'm not close to whelmed.. I realized I wasn't noticing it and stuck my nose in it and it had a faint ? chocolate? but mostly smells like tea to me.. hmm.. I'll give it more chance and see if I notice it tomorrow.

This is very strange...we have gone over 24 hours with no tarty posts. So, ummm, does everyone have a life or something?????

I stayed upstairs most of the day.. but I did install my second halo warmer upstairs and start melting Boysenberry Butter Cookie in my new Target ramie!!

Interestingly, when I came downstairs I could smell the Cinnamon from the downstairs tart from last night.

I have that going but really can smell the BBC from upstairs (even though the warmer isn't on) more strongly.

A life? What a concept! rmao

Everyone - go see "Inside Man" with Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster & Clive Owen. Excellent movie!

Today, Beach is on the warmer. I love this one. Perfect for a sunny day.

Cathie- LMAO

Sea- yummy choice on the BBC! One of my all-time favs. I wasn't a fan of the Cinnamon Dolce. Actually, I pretty much am not a fan of any of the cinnamon scents so far. Nice to know there's at least some tarts I don't "need".

Bonza- The DH and I are going to see it tomorrow! Can't wait:-)

Julip- Fresh cut grass? That sounds interesting. I bet the DH's would go for it! lol

Today, I've got vanille banane, bird of paradise, and night blooming jasmine going. Love them all!

Jinksy - that's great you are going to see IM tomorrow. Spike Lee directed, and I am confident you and the DH will both love it - it has something for everyone.

Am I the only one that wants to sneeze when they think of a Fresh Cut Grass tart? lol

It's spring catalog shipping time - I am buried. The most ironic is a catalog I've never, ever received before - Yankee Candle! LMAO, not interested!

ETA: I think we all need to start posting about Night Blooming Jasmine at Delphi, so Alyce will feel compelled to bring it back! :-)

Bonza- You are so right about NBJ! We do need to talk it up over at Delphi. I just wrote Alyce an email to ask if it will be available again soon. It's such a beautiful scent.

I have to admit, I don't think fresh cut grass would be for me at all but I can't help but be compelled to want a sniff at it. And of course, it comes recommended by Julip the Tart Queen.

Wow, that's weird you got a catalog from Yankee Candle. Especially since you've never gotten one before. It's like, NO Thanks! lol

Jinksy - excellent about writing Alyce. I think there was a NBJ thread - I'll see if I can find it and post to bump it up. :-)

I know, it's hard to ignore a Tart Queen Approved scent!

Good afternoon, Tarts! I recently found some very unusual but cute ramies at Homegoods:





It was a pack of two 1/2 cup size, by Chantal, for $6.99. I figured they were not oven safe, but to my surprise it did say so on the bottom, so I could not resist them! They will most likely become poolside dishes for get-togethers eventually, but for now they are cute as something different for warming tarts.

Bonza and Jinksy - Fresh Cut Grass is a very nice one! My nose has failed you before, though . Keep in mind too that the one I tried was an old, crumbly sample lol and it may have not been as strong as a fresher one. Also, I did not warm it in the same room as I spent most of my time, so it was just the right amount of 'green'. I do tend to like the 'green' scents. I do hope it comes back in stock so you (or the DHs lol) get a chance to sample it.

LOL Bonza about getting the YC catalog. You've reminded me to request to be removed from their list - I keep getting them, but they don't make it past the garage recycle bin.

Jinksy - thanks for writing to Alyce about NBJ - it sure is a nice one, and I'd definitely buy a whole bag of it.

Sea - I had the same opinion of CDL - not so great at first, then it got better after awhile...but still not very different than other cinnamon scents I'd tried. I thought it would be more 'coffeehouse' smelling. I do love that Boysenberry Butter Cookie, though!

Cathie - lmao! What were we thinking, staying away from the tart thread??

Reading Fresh Cut Grass first of make me "think" my nose itches and then I might have to sneeze.. LOL I don't think it would have that great of appeal for DH since it would remind him of yard work! GAK! We'll be mowing before we know it!

Ok.. my "Oh so great plan" with DD went south at least for a while! She is now in possession of BOTH of the ramies I bought at Target AND the Candlesense warmer! She was over yesterday so I stuck them by her stuff and told her to bring them back today and say "Look what I got for you Mom!" Yeah sure. She comes back today and says.. "OH NO! I FORGOT TO BRING THEM!" She took them in the apartment with her other stuff. She said she could drop the stuff off on her way back to school tomorrow morning but I told her that was no good since her DF would not be around to witness her gift to her DM!!!!!! So, I ended up giving her some tarts to take to school with her, but I found I didn't have as much as it "seemed" like I did, so I have her a couple of packages of those orange vanilla cream ones from JoAnn's that I got for .20 ea. and one cinnamon I had left from Michaels and I after much hemming and hawing and changing what I was giving her and almost taking it back again(LOL) I gave her HALF of the cranberry cobbler SJ tart I have left. It's used, but it has a strong scent so I figured it would still be good for her. I only have a tarty part of BNB left and a smidgen of peppermint cream left, but I couldn't part with them, although I did consider the part of peppermint... but nah... I was enabled and I keeping them for me! LOL I told her she could use the the yellow ramie at school, but to save the blue one for me! Fortunately, she comes home every weekend to work so it won't be too long before I get it back. Sheeesh..... and all I went through to get the darn ramies to begin with. I guess we're just such good plotters as we thought, huh? LOL

Juli - Those are cute ramekins!

I've been looking at the Delphi board here and there and it seems like whenever I see "tarts for sale", they're all just about spoken for if not all or there something I've never heard of and I don't know if I want to try it or not. Oh well.... they do seem to go fast!! :-)

Watching- You and the DD's plan doesn't seem to be working like you thought it would. It was a good idea on paper though:-) lol
And you're very right about those "tarts for sale" going quickly at Delphi. You just have to be in the right place at the right time. I miss them most of the time too.

Julip- Love your new fish ramies! So cute. And you did a great job as usual with the presentation pictures. Thanks for the FC Grass review. I think I'll have to give it a try when it comes back in stock.

I also got a Yankee Candle catalog awhile back, for the first time .

The CDL started making me sneeze, so I re-bagged it. I'm trying White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie (thanks, Julip) and it is very nice.

Hmm well I can't try a NBJ for lobbying purposes; don't have one, according to my spreadsheet.

BBC still upstairs.

Those fish ramies are pretty cool, Julip!

Cute ramies, Mama!

Watching, I think you can start an ISO Thread on Delphi (I'm guessing that means "in search of") and then list what you'd love to try and see what offers you get!!

Mama - Those ramies are sooooooo cute! I wish I had remembered the TJ Max finds when I was BBB since they're right across from one another in the mall. You think maybe "someone" is telling me I'm having such a hard time since I'm supposed to be pinching pennies? hehe

I'm pretty sure ISO does mean that Sea, I just have to figure out exactly what I'd want to list. :-)

I've been warming Coconut Lime Verbena in the living room and Citrus Sage in the bedroom today--very nice scents for a beautiful spring day! :-)

Mamapors, I love those ramies. I will have to make my first ever trip to TJ Maxx!
