Yes, my Michael's had the $3.99 price but I'm holding out, or was, for the $3.33 price.. or hopefully I'll just go to Joann's and SCORE tomorrow!

Jinksy - I agree about the Honeysuckle Vine - I love it! Straight florals are usually too much for me, but I can enjoy that one all day. FYI - straight from Alyce, HV and Beach could be sister scents...so if you like one, you are bound to like the other. Is the FIL as sweet as the perfume? I have not tried my sample of SS yet. Cathie - woo hoo on that great deal! Hope you score some more at that price. Sea - good to know on the side-by-side comparison. Bonza - I vote for naming the FSO/SVG combo the Joely Special as well!

Today I am warming quite the fruity concoction - lime blossom in the kitchen, and watermelon martini in the family room. Mmmm...

Julip- I'm finding falling in love to be a tad too sweet for me. I would say it's even sweeter then the perfume. It's going strong day two. Satin serenade didn't make it to day two, it has that men's cologne edge to it that I don't enjoy. Thanks for the heads up on beach being similar to HV. I actually have a TP sample (thanks to Bonza) that I haven't tried yet. Now, I can't wait! I really like it. BTW- How are you liking the watermelon martini? It sounds yummy Cathie- Thanks for the info about Joann's. That is a terrific price. And that is an even better price on your signature lighted warmer. Woo-hoo! Hopefully you can get a some more at that price Sea- can't wait to see pictures of your new palm tree all set-up.

Bonza- I just picked up three warmers at Michael's the other day and they were $3.33 each. Not sure if they have different prices at each one or not. Either way, a great price. BTW- My travel tart kit is officially packed up and in my suitcase! I've got my anchor hooking ramekin (thanks to an ), bedtime bath tart, and Michael's warmer(I was too lazy to drive to Joann's for the purple one) It will be such a nice treat in the room.

Jinksy - that's interesting about Michael's pricing. I would never have imagined they would price differently in different parts of the country on sale items. That pic I posted above was from their sale flyer on their website - for Sunday, using my zip code. So given what Sea found also - maybe they aren't doing the $3.33 in CA? But as you say, all good prices and Jo-Ann is doing it this week, too! Woo Hoo, your travel tart kit is packed! I am warming a scent that I want Alyce to bring back, Under The Palm Tree. It was sent to me by a Delhi angel and I love it. Beachy - my favorite kind! Interesting about Beach for me - I love it and did not find the floral aspect of it too overpowering. Yet, for me, Honeysuckle Vine was a bit strong. The scent was perfect and I hated to turn it off, but my sinuses forced me to. lol Waiting for Julip's report on Watermelon Martini...

Jinksy - that is what I was worried about with the FIL - thanks for the review...now I know I don't need that one. <phew!> I like the perfume ok, but it is on the sweet side for me. That is interesting about the SS too - I will have to give it a sniff and see what I detect in there. The Watermelon Martini is just ok for me. It is a nice enough fruity scent, bordering on sweet - almost like watermelon candy, but not as sweet - but probably not anything I'd reorder. I would say it is a nice festive fruity every-once-in-awhile summer scent! The Lime Blossom, though, is one I'm enjoying! Woo hoo about getting your official travel tart pack set up. Just don't let the French people get a whiff of them ... you will start an international tart frenzy! Bonza - thanks for the review of Under the Palm Tree! I have a sample of it, and now I'm eager to give it a try. Too bad about the HV for you. I wonder if warming 1/4 tart of it at a time would help you enjoy it?

The Under The Palm Tree is getting a little extra-fruity as the day goes on, but if the sun's out, I can take it... I think. Julip - good idea about the HV but I've sampled/enabled it on out of here and made some other people happy with it. I tend to do that if something isn't working for me. I have so many tarts, I don't usually go to a day 2 - lol. And thanks for the Watermelon Martini update. I feel relief that I don't have to place it on my 'order' list.

Julip- I feel relieved I can cross watermelon martini off the list. Phew, always nice when you don't have to add it to the "need it" list. lol. I'll be careful to keep the tarts under wraps for fear of starting an international tart frenzy. Can you imagine poor Alyce trying to keep up with all that crazy shipping and funky money, not to mention the language barrier? lmao. Bonza- I have an under the palm tree tp sample and the cold sniff is terrific. I was saving it for a nice sunny day. It seems like the perfect summery scent. The extra fruity doesn't sound appealing though. Hmm. I can't wait to see for myself.

Jinksy - I can tell you where they will go wild for tarts: As for "Palm", the fruit has gotten more intense but it's not sweet. Robust, but not sweet. It starts out pure summer and begs to be melted on a sunny day.

I picked up warmers for under $3 each at Joanns.. got red, pale green, pink and purple. Poor palm tree is still in the box. Got home well after dark and it was also windy. Beautiful day here, though. I'm starting to melt a TP of waffle cone right now.

Seamonkey glad you found the warmers at Joanns. Good buy. I went this morning. The store is closing out everything and moving to new store. 60 to 90% off. Warmers were sold out but I did find a few things at discount prices. I'm hearing such good things about Blackberry Sage....It will be at the top of my list when I order. I got some tarts at Joanns just to try. I know, I know they won't be as good. lol. Still looking for sili-cups.

Bonza- Do you think the DH would love a Vegemite tart? I bet he would Joely- Would you believe I still haven't tried blackberry sage? There was one in the initial starter kit that I haven't warmed yet. I'll have to try it soon because everyone here is crazy for it. Julip- You've got me thinking of red velvet cake now too! Yummy. And the lemon frosted cupcakes was terrific. It's very similar to lemon meringue to me. Did you find that at all? Sea- Nice color selection on the Joann's warmers. I keep wanting to get there but it's a tiny bit of a drive from me and in an area I'm not real familiar with so I've been putting it off.

Jinksy - LOL - even if he didn't love it, he'd have to say he did. Wow - you must try Blackberry Sage. But just know that it's going to be a must-have and you will no longer be a "supersaver". lmao Fresh Baked Cookies & Fresh Baked Cookies here today.

I hate that she discontinued Fresh Baked Cookies.. but grateful I got the bag I got and I admit to hoarding them.. I've enabled people with some REALLY REALLY good scents but not FBC.. for one thing, they'd fall in love and pine for them to no avail! Blackberry Sage is just the best! I have waffle cone on again. I've only had tarties of that but it is very nice now that I'm jogging my memory. The warmers will find the right homes. I wish one was dark blue or bright yellow and it would go upstairs for me, but I may also just get another halo one for up there.
