I dipped into the vault today... Boysenberry Butter Cookie! It really is yummy on an overcast morning.

I may change scents when the fog burns off and the sun comes out.

Paj - that sounds like a fun tour in June!

Paj - what a great tour planned! I know you will do great, and I hope you have a fun time and get some sightseeing in there too. I wish you were coming through here! :o)

Juli, I wish we were going to be near you as well. This is not the most exciting trip we've been on, but it's always fun to go on any kind of trip. I am excited about going to Denver. I've only driven through there before. We'll be there the longest, actually, but only performing once. So we get some sightseeing time!

Bonza, Boysenberry Butter Cookie...mmmm! It was my very first favorite (ah, the memories of being a tart newbie, LOL!) and is still right at the top of my list. Can't go wrong with that one, IMO!

For those of you who might have missed it when she first posted, this is Julip's Tart Vault. Mine is much smaller.

LMAO!

On the contrary, Bonza ... the size of the tart vault is actually calculated as a percentage of the total square footage it occupies in the home. Your home is bigger than mine, so although your vault takes up a smaller percentage of your home, it is, in fact, much larger.

DH announced it smelled like I was burning incense in the house when he returned home lol, so I have since switched out the tea tart and changed to Tranquil Tropics. Still enjoying Tulip and Stella.

Sea, thanks for the reminder about Tess! I have already emailed her about it. She tried to make it to a concert in January, but it just didn't work out. Hopefully it will this time!

My new method of choosing which scent to warm? I just reach into the container and blindly pick one. It's fun! What will I choose tonight? Hmm...

That's a great system, Paj! What did you end up choosing?

Good morning! Last night I ended up with Lemon Drop. It was a new one for me. I wasn't too excited about it, but it's not bad. For citrus, I really prefer the lime scents.

Oooooh, I've been thinking about a lime scent. Which one do you recommend? Your grab bag method sounds interesting - very adventurous!


Sea - no hurry!

CCGal, Margaritaville is wonderful. It's quite strong, though. I like it best after it's warmed for a while. Rainbow Sherbet has a good lime scent to it and Coconut Lime Verbena is great too! Hope that helps.

Everybody raves about Margaritaville, but it's been out of stock since I started buying tarts. Sooo, I found the oil online and ordered my own tart making kit. Haven't had a chance to make them yet...I just ordered a bag of Rainbow Serbert. I got one in my sampler and loved it. I like strong scents. And I agree with Pajomu...CLV is a good one. Smells just like the Bath and Body Works line.

Pajomu, if you have any berry scents try mixing it with your Lemon Drop--it makes a great berry lemonade.

I tried a TP of Hydrangea and really, really like it. It is a nice floral, not too overpowering, gives a very mellow feeling to the room. I think it will be a good stand-in until fall when I can get more Lavender Apples & Oak.

Night blooming jasmine? Um, not so much. It smells too perfume-y (and not at all like a real flower, in my opinion). I just got the order last week, so will wait and let it cure longer (I cut a tart in half cuz I couldn't wait!).

And one quick question... what is the scent that's bad to have around cats? I tried poking around in the archives but, yikes! There are a LOT of posts in those archives here! :-)

It's Amazing Grace you're looking for. Can't be around cats or birds.

That's a shame about the NBJ, Costa. When you hear raves about a scent and yet it doesn't do much for you, it just goes to show how very different our senses are. There are some scents I can't even smell when they're melting, but other people find them very strong! Maybe it will be better on the 2nd day.

LOL Holly and Sea. Nope, that NBJ is just NASTY to me! I'll set it aside and see if cures out a bit more mellow, but... yikes! To me, that is one awful scent! (Shame on me, too, since I trusted Alyce and y'all and ordered a bag full o' tarts and not a TP like I usually do! <sigh>)

And thanks Holly! For some reason I had lavender in mind, even though I couldn't figure out why. Amazing Grace is probably not anything I'd ever get, so I'm safe. (I kept checking the kids while the NBJ was melting, to see if that was the scent! <snicker>)

Anyone got a honeysuckle vine that they wanna trade for NBJ? :-)

The tale of the different sniffers...

I am warming NBJ today and I do love it.

Costa, if I still had Honeysuckle Vine I would happily trade you, but HV made me sneeze and gave me a headache. lmao
