Yeah, I was intrigued by Brown Sugar and Fig. No idea what it would smell like, but I love figs! (Can't wait for fig season again this year. Dang me for breaking up with man who had many fig trees in his backyard. Loved the weekly supply of fresh figs! <grin>)

Costa,

Just sneak over there in the middle of the night with a nice, roomy basket. Fill it up and sneak on back home! Easy! Then you can sit there and pig out on figs!! They are tasty, aren't they! P.S. Might be a good idea to wear all black.

Yes, they are tasty! Especially fresh off the tree!!! And he doesn't have dog, so it might could work. Hehehe!

Then, GO FOR IT, Costa! And think of me when you are sitting there pigging out!!! I have never had the fresh ones. But, I am willing to bet they are a heck of a lot better than store bought ones.

Palm tree is now assembled and set up and I'm on "duskwatch" for the timer to turn it on.. of course I created fake dusk several times earlier. The placement isn't completely ideal yeat but I'm working on it.. area is really TIGHT. Small patio and only one corner visible through the slider, the part that isn't blocked by the tv or the monitor.

Lucky for me there is a staircase outside going up to the room over the garage so I could stand partway up to insert the "fronds" and connect the frond lighting to the trunk lights..

Oh Baby... get thee to the nearest store (like a Whole Foods) during the summertime. There is NOTHING like fresh figs! I like black figs the best, but they are all yummy! (If I could figure out how to ship 'em without smushing 'em, I would!)

Cute gif, Bonza! And good luck with the palm, Sea!

That makes me think of the wonderful Coconut Pear concoction I am warming today. Mmmmm...

Julip - you have just reminded me how much I love Coconut Pear. I must put that in the "batting cage"!

I'm sure you must have one tart in one of your warmers that is about done, Bonza - get that Coconut Pear tart out of that batting cage!

DVR/Tivo alert - I was channel surfing earlier tonight and saw a VH-1 program called 20 Greatest Celebreality Moments that had been on for about 40 minutes, so I set the DVR for the 1am show. There are several other repeats, which I am sure the link above can lead you to. I didn't watch any of it since I was on a mission to find a different show at the time , but it looked like they had a clip from the premiere episode of Flavor of Love! lol

I can't get that distant shot without falling into my former tiny fish pond which is now .. a mess.


The only trouble I had was when I attached the socket from the palm fronds it had gone a bit oval while the plug from the white spiral lights was round.. so I had to apply the old molars and it worked..

I have a large aubergine/iridescent Wind Deva and the lights are reflicted nicely in that and by that as well..

It juat makes me want another one! A grove!

Wow - there were 4 posts since I started that last post lol.

Sea - woo hoo! Get those margaritas (or at least a Margaritaville tart) going!

Bonza - love all your cute palm gifs, and ditto on the Under the Palm Tree!

Sea- It looks fabulous. Looks like it throws off a good amount of light which will be very nice to welcome you home at night! I can just imagine a whole grove of palm trees on your deck. BTW- What exactly is a wind diva?

Bonza- speaking of under the palm tree.. I just put in on the warmer. The cold scent is awesome. Enjoy your coconut pear! I love that one just wish it threw off a tiny bit more scent.

Julip- What do you have on the warmer today?

Good afternoon, everyone!

Jinksy - today I switched out two scents, and started Cran Banana Blast and the Monkey's Breath you sent me a time ago. I am pleasantly surprised by both so far! They are bubble-gummy scents, but not at all too sweet for me, and they are nice for warm weather days. I was a little worried about the MB because I think I remember correctly that you didn't like this one?

Hmm it appears that Wind Devas are no longer being manufactured..


Bummer!

WindDevas

They are acrylic spiral things that twist in the wind.

I saw one hanging outside a store inside the Ballys/Paris casino area in Vegas and just noted the name. Next day I went back and could not find the store.. but I found the actual company in LA that made them and ordered. That company appears to be gone.

Julip- Sounds bubble gum yummy at your house today! The MB wasn't for me but I'm glad you like it. We all have different sniffers that's for sure:-) I really like under the palm tree and would reorder for sure. I've also have red velvet cake on the warmer and both the DH and I are crazy for it. Yummy.

Sea- Thanks for the WindDevas link. They are beautiful! That's a shame they stopped manufacturing them.

Costa- That's great news about your tart order shipping. I'll be curious to hear how you like all the scents. Did you get a sampler pack? It's a great way to try lots of different ones and hopefully discover a scent you didn't realize you'd like.

Costa - sounds like you have a Tart Day on the way later this week! The best smelling mail anywhere. Your mail carrier will love you for it - my mail lady is now hooked on tarts.

Jinksy - I thought so about the MB! I was actually surprised I liked it because one of my Delphite buddies who shares very similar tastes with me did not like it at all...which is why I avoided it for so long. Really interesting! Thanks again for the sample. :o)

Isn't the RVC yummy? Didn't you think the cold sniff was weird? I was worried about it - smelled too ... something. But it warms up to the most delicious cakey scent. Mmmm... Glad to hear it is a winner with the DH as well - always a bonus.

Cute ramekins at Wal-Mart... I am proud to report the following information to Team Tart:

Corelle Ramekins in black/white, red/white and blue/white stripes. There are matching bakeware pieces also, and they all appear to be on sale at the moment. They are marked down to $3.50 for a set of two:





And these Florasense ramekins do have candles in them now, but I intend to turn them into SJ ramekins immediately. They come in lavender (might be more of an orchid or berry color), yellow, cream, green and red, and are $2.57 each:
