CCGal - Vanille Banane is a refreshing banana scent, similar to Banana Split; Vanille Cannelle is a wonderful, slightly spicy vanilla scent, similar to Tampico Vanilla. Both exotic and intoxicating. Hope that helps! Crz - sounds like CC had good timing with this order when Alyce was good and caught up, and you catch her during the big rushes!

Sea, When I get my order I can send you a NBJ tart to try. Then you'd know if you want to invest in more. Yes, I just placed my order verrrry early on Tues morning the 9th. Based on the note on her website I didn't expect it to ship for up to 10 days. We'll see how soon it gets here.

That is so sweet CC, but a new tart buddy and I are going to split an NBJ order...thank you for offering. Julip...I don't know, since I place a pretty big order weekly. I'm preparing for Christmas (and supplying 2 daughters)...LOL!

Hee Crz - you're causing the big rushes! p.s. your joking aside - tarts bought now will be very nicely cured come Christmas time! Some, like amour de cacao or coconut milk & peaches which have a very light throw, are much stronger after a long cure time, in my experience!

Dang. I just placed an order a bit ago and got it. And now she's got a bunch of the scents I'd wanted to order but she was out of. So dang it, I just placed ANOTHER order with Alyce! I'm trying the night blooming jasmine this time, too. I went ahead and got the tarts, rather than the TPs. I've found that most of the time I like the scents and just turn around and order the tarts anyways. (I've been doing various different candles and scents for so long that I usually can trust myself whether I'll like it or not. Alyce also seems to really get scents that are "true" -- her gardenia doesn't smell like some of the fake gardenias out there!)

I am such a dork....CC didn't offer the NBJ tart to me, it was Seamonkey...hahaha...CC probably thought I was nuts. I guess I was thinking NBJ and thought CC read my mind....so sorry. I need to quit ordering samplers....I keep smelling ones that I really like, which means more bags I want. In today's order, its' Kayla's Secret, Red Tea and Mulberry Wine.

Julip, thanks for posting about Coconut Milk & Peaches getting stronger with age. I bought a bag in January and wasn't impressed with them and packed them in the back of my tart drawer. I guess it's time to bring it out of "storage" and give it another try...

I think most of you frequent the SJ Delphi Forum, but just in case, just wanted to pass along this info from Alyce:

Never Ending Joys is sort of like a 'tart of the month club', though this time it is nice to get them all in one fell swoop, saving on the shipping. I subscribed to it when she offered it before, and it was a lot of fun to try some unique scents that were not otherwise available! If you are interested, you can email Alyce directly to subscribe - or if you aren't a Delphi member and need the info, you can email me. :o)

My order was here when I got home from a client's last night - amazing service. I'm still dating and sorting through my sampler bag. I hate to admit that it's time for a chart of some kind so I'll know what I have and can try some of the many sampler tarts I've received. Good point made that I could be in trouble if I find too many I like. Accck!! Crzndeb - no problem. I would have been glad to send a NBJ to try if you weren't already expecting some. Sea - the offer to you still stands.

Julip, I was curious about that offer. If you choose the one fell swooop option, does that mean you wait until December, or does she actually create all the tarts now and just hold them for those who go tart of the month option?

Sea - if you choose the one fell swoop option, she ships all 6 tart scents out June 30th. I am pretty certain that for anyone who chooses the 'tart of the month' option, she would make them fresh to order each month. CCGal - I made an Excel spreadsheet for tart inventories - it has not been updated for several months with the newest scents, but if you know your way around editing spreadsheets a bit, I would be happy to forward a copy on to you so you at least have a template to work with. And woo hoo about your order!

It's pretty quite in here. I should have started tarts before I logged on so I'd have something to report. So many to chose from now -decisions, decisions!! Sea - you have email. Julip - That's a very nice offer. Anything to help me get organized will be appreciated. My email address is in my profile.

CCGal - you have mail! Let me know if you have any problems working with it. I have not had the tarts on too much the last couple of days (shocking!), so I am still enjoying Ibiza Hippie and Mac Apple!

Julip & Sea - My email server was down part of today and they can't tell me for sure whether any mail was lost. Did you receive the emails I sent? I'll be gone most of tomorrow but will check when I get home.

CCGal - I did receive your email, which I have just replied to. Good morning, Tartettes! Today will be the Changing of the Tarts. I promise I won't keep you in suspense for very long as to what I have chosen. I think I will choose all "new to me' scents. What's in your ramie?

Good morning everyone! At home I've been enjoying Vanille Cannelle. Also, Rainbow Sherbet has become a new favorite. Here at work I've got a cold Strawberry Preserves going. It throws off just enough scent to make my office smell nice, but it's not overpowering. I get compliments on it all the time! As some of you know, I am a member of a professional handbell ensemble (Twin Cities Bronze). We have a mini-tour planned for June. If any of you are in or around Denver CO, Rapid City SD, Bismarck ND, Fergus Falls MN, St Cloud MN or the Twin Cities and are interested in coming to one of our concerts please let me know and I can get you the info. We're practicing like crazy to get ready and are very excited to get out and perform!

Hi Paj! Mmm...I love the VC, and I have heard good things about Rainbow Sherbet. I agree about SP, too. Not too sweet - just like sniffing a basket of fresh picked strawberries. Ok, today I have Tulips, Stella, and Wild Berry Zinger Tea going... Tulips - very nice floral! A little strong for being right near the warmer for me, but very 'fresh flower' smelling, not too perfumey. Stella - really like this one more than I thought I would. It reminds me of Lovely, which is a favorite. Wild Berry Zinger Tea - started out ok, but got a little musky for my taste after a few hours. I have not had good luck with many of the teas, except for Constant Comment, though I know the tea scent lovers here would enjoy this one.
