Watching (and Suz) - I can't remember if I already mentioned this personally to you somewhere in archive heaven lol - but I highly recommend ordering just a sampler bag from Alyce, found in "Other Scents" on the shopping page. They are already ready to go once she receives payment (she takes Paypal!) if you don't order anything else with it, and you get a baker's dozen for $10 plus shipping. Although they are ready to go, they are super fresh because she simply makes extra tarts to go in the samplers when she does her custom pours.

This is only my opinion, but soon after I got hooked on Alyce's tarts, I tried some soy tarts from an ebay seller who included them with a tart warmer purchase. She advertised them as "triple scented" and had some scents that Alyce did not have at the time. I have to tell you that although they were soy, they simply did not compare, and I only tried one of them. The rest went to the neighborhood skate/surf rats who were more than happy to use them to wax their boards.

Cathie - great tips on the old tarts used to scent drawers, and also for the mini silicups! Those things are too cute in the mini size, so that is a great excuse to pick up a pack sometime.

Alyce's site is still not open for orders but she has added some "Coming Soon" scents that include Pear Glace. I can't wait for that one--it is yummy!!!

Ahhhh, Tabby...looks like I will have to enable you. Beware of small bubble wrap packages. They bring you no harm. You will not become addicted. Trust me. :-)

Tabby, listen to Cathie.. heck some Banana Nut Bread or Fresh Baked Cookies might just sell that house!

The top of this thread has a great explanation of what a Soy Tart is.

You melt them on warmers in ramekins and many of us put a silicon baking cup in the ramekin.

Cathie I have some Pear Glace but havne't tried it yet.. send me your address..

Mama -



Good morning, everyone! Today it is unintentionally a retired scent day. I have Under the Palm Tree and Joeli's Green Apple going. Very Spring-y smelling in here! If Mac Apple is as good as the Green Apple, it is going to be a winner!

Sea, I had the same thought about the BNB and Tabby's house, in fact that is definitely in my enabler pack! :-)

I was't a big fan of the Banana Nut Bread. It didn't smell like Banana Nut Bread to me, and it was awfully sweet smelling. I did melt it for two days running, though.

I think I'll have to try the Blackberry Sage today.

I lied. It wasn't the banana bread one... it was vanilla hazelnut that I was melting earlier this week.

I've got blackberry sage on now. What an interesting scent!!!

I have the Blackberry Sage body mist, too!

Yeah, I'm not sure I like the nutty scents as much as the bakery scents, but it is always interesting to hear which group of scents (and that is completely individual) each person enjoys.

LOL.. is it "interesting good" or "interesting bad", or just "interesting, the jury is out"??

Yipee!!! I received my Feb. 23 order!

Tarts:
Srawberry Preserves, Fresh Squeezed Oranges, Sampler Surprise Pack, Southern Vanilla, Japanese Pear and Ginseng, Waffle Cone, & Green Tea

Tarty Parts:
Cake Batter, Creme Brulee, Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, Sugared Vanilla Glaze, White Chocolate Macadamia Nut, Avalanche, Lavender Apples & Oak, & Lemon Drop

In my Sample Pack I have:
Midsummer's Night, Coconut Milk & Peaches, Rasouli, Kristen's Sweet Passion, Scentual Addiction, Home Sweet Home, Sno Balls, Harvest Spice, Sea Petals, Warm Vanilla Sugar, Provence, Lemon Frosted Cupcake and Vanille Coco.

I think I will really like the Lavender Apples & Oak one, the cold sniff is really good. I CAN'T WAIT to finally try a Strawberry Waffle Delight! I'm going to start it now and we will be going down to check on the new house for a couple of hours--I want to come home to the heavenly scent!

p.s. do you see anything you like there, Sea???

Costa---I didn't like the Vanilla Hazelnut either. I sent mine on to a TVCHer who loved them!!

But I do love Banana Nut Bread.

Julip - I do remember you saying the other soy tarts don't compare, it's just that I can't really afford to spend more than a dollar or two at this point so I'm stuck with what I CAN get. Hopefully, things will turn around sometime soon. I'm sick of being tense and not feeling well all the time because of all this financial crap. Uggh!!

Tabby - I thought they were talking about tarts you eat for the longest time. Don't feel bad! LOL

I'm thinking my son won't like the "nut scents" much because he's allergic to nuts/peanuts. He often complains about the smell of my hazelnut coffee! After his trip to the ER in Jan. because of some hidden nuts in a cookie..... I'm less inclined to tell him to just DEAL with it, although smelling the stuff has never been a problem. He never would have made it through school with all the peanut butter eaten there!!! LOL

Watching, I think you can go to the Delphi Forum connected to the Soyful Joys site (link on top of thread) and buy single tarts that are offered for a dollar including postage - I think..

Cathie, I am emailing you now...

The good news if you don't like one when you get a sample tart is that you can write that off and not wonder and not buy a whole bag!

Costa, what scents on the soyful joys site intrigue you? I have quite a few random tarts from sample packs and might be willing to split a tart or even just send it along..

Mmmmmmmmmmmm, just walked in the door and we have doubly delightful strawberry waffles coming from two different rooms. If they are this good now I can't imagine how they will be when they are actually cured!

Thanks Sea. I registered there a while back but got confused with the board and haven't been back. I'll have to check it out again.

Yesterday I enabled. Sent my friend home with a Tart Starter Kit. Like me, she loves scents so I'm sure she be addicted.

Tried Georgia Peach and really liked it. 2 Tarty Parts were just right - a light sweet scent.

Maybe another new scent for tomorrow. Something for a rainy day.

Good morning, everyone!

Wow, Cathie - what a great order, and woo hoo about finally trying the Strawberry Waffles. Isn't it yummy?

Watching - Sea is 100% correct - on Delphi there are always several sales posted, $1 each for tarts or 2 tarty parts, 50 cents for 1 tarty part, and that does include shipping to you. Just click on the sales and swap folder and you will see the most recent ones listed from top to bottom.

In that same folder, you can also start a new subject with an ISO (in search of) and say you are new to tarts, and list the kinds (or specific scents you've seen on Alyce's site) you are most interested in. I am sure you will get some offers, and the same pricing applies. Many people are more than willing to send 1 or 2 tarts at a time, and the ladies there are super nice.

CCGal - great enabling work! How fun to get another friend addicted. I recently tried the Georgia Peach as well, and it reminded me of a peach smoothie - yum!
