Crz - Island Kiss sort of grows into that perfume. It's the dreaded Day Two change that happens with some tarts. Joely - way to go - enabling the breeder. She'll be ordering the superior SJ tarts any day now! Watching - we are all different, that's for sure. I have a Coconut Lime Verbena sample I haven't tried yet.

Good job, Joely, enabling your dog breeder friend on the tarts! Good thing, too, that she is already familiar with the ins and outs of tart warming, so she doesn't try to eat 'em. lol I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! Today is Old Favorites day again, with Blackberry Sage and Banana Nut Bread going strong.

Jinksy while I'm sure Coconut Pear is loved, it definitely UNDERwhelmed me. However, tonight I popped in a TP of Pear Berry and I'm loving it!! But clearly I like the pear scent itself. I'm redoing my order now. Dumped Coconut Pear and Hawaiian Kiss Ordering bags of Cucumber Melon, Pear Berry, White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie, Mac Apple, Sampler TPs of Coco Mango, Hydrangea, Raspberry Violet, Cake Batter.

Sea, that looks like a good order. The only one I've smelled is WCMNC. You will definitely have to share the scent experiences with all of us. I burned Beach yesterday and at first I liked it, but then it started to smell like a cleaning product. I'm not having too much luck with the "type" scents. I am really surprised that the bakery scents have been my fave so far. I just started Lilac.

Sea - Finally someone else who isn't crazy about Coconut Pear!! I think I would love the Pear Berry too since I like the Pear scent as well and that's why I didn't like the Coconut Pear - too much coconut! I liked the Lavender Vanilla but I think I'll like plain Lavender better since that's one of my favorite scents and it's the scent of my cologne so I know I like that! To me it's kind of funny how much everyone else loves Lilac because I should love it, but I'm not crazy about it and we're the "Home of the Lilac Festival" and people come from all over for it. I guess I just grew up smelling lilac all the time and I'd rather smell it from my bush (which is huge) in the backyard than in the house! My DD got me a hyacinth for Easter and the smell is so strong that I think it's interfering with my tarts. It just may have to go outside so we can stop that. I've been wondering why there isn't a "fresh baked bread" scent since that's something common which smells good. I don't think I've ever seen anyone list it. I keep thinking about the relator trick of leaving something fresh-baked in the oven when showing your house. My friend had one going in his bread maker while his house was being shown, but then again, it was a bread with some kind of fruit in it, but walking into a bakery sure does smell good to me.

Hi Sherbabe - are you referring to Yankee Candle-type candle jars? I have cleaned any remaining wax and recycled them, but I believe some people like to use them for knick knacks and that sort of thing. That is what I love about tarts, though - many of us tart lovers here warm them directly in a heat-safe ramekin or more commonly in a heat-safe ramekin + silicone muffin cup combo, so that the used up wax pops right out, making that the only thing that needs to be disposed of. Makes it much easier for me, and takes up less storage than a lot of jars (Alyce's tarts smell better to me too, just IMHO. )

...and Julip's ON IT! Hi Sherbabe. Oh, I have to try Coconut Pear again so I can be sure and give my and I think I have another one. Today I went back to my tried and true Citrus Sage and it's amazing. Two people have walked in and said, wow it smells great in here

Joely - Oooh...I have not tried Citrus Sage for awhile - sounds like a good one to put in the batting cage, as the weather is warming up here.

I'm betting those two people were not named Kael or Kaden? Do they have favorite scents?

Kaden likes it when it smells like Cookies are baking (like he knows what that smells like ... lol) but, other than that... no favorites for the two munchins!

Today I went with samples of Red Current and Kayla's Secret. I enjoyed both of them very much. Red Current is going on my "order next" list for sure.

Cathie, I could provide a few more samples of Kayla's Secret if you should desire that.. I haven't been home much today but have the same Pear Berry TP on the warmer and I'm loving it!! And I have a whole bag soon to be MINE!! (now for those who didn't care for Judy's Japanese Pear and Ginseng keep in mind that I also adore that scent as well)

Just a small TVCH time warp. Today on the warmer: Ibiza Hippie. It's very interesting - I like it.

Sea - you are so thoughtful, offering up samples of Kayla's! I'd beg for a couple, but I already have one or maybe two.

Sea, I'd love to swap a few JJPG for a few of your KS. I think I have 11 left. Let me know how many you want! :D

Well, this is embarrassing! I thought I had maybe four left and it seems I don't even have the bakery bag they came in, but I have ONE left all nicely labelled in a poly pro bag and that is yours.. and while I am a good home for any JJPG, I do have a whole bag and half of another, so if anyone hasn't tried them, they should have first shot, since it is one that clearly not everyone likes .. sorry I don't have more KS.. I got that as a free bag back in January when Alyce had that promotion..

That is still one more than I have now, Sea, so I'd love it! I'll email you my new address. Is there anything else I might have that you are yearning for? I just went to the plug-in tart burner site to finally order two for my new bathrooms and guess what--they are out of ALL of their wall burners until at least May 15. I guess good news travels fast, and everyone wanted them, lol. I heard from Alyce that she is still on the fence about re-ordering Lavender Apples & Oak so I am going to ration my bag of those. I am glad I ordered a body spray in that scent, too, so I can help it linger a little longer...

Cathie, I have seen some of the plug in warmers on ebay. Not sure if that is where you already looked. They are definitely on my list of things to get. Burned Lavender Milk today. It wasn't too strong and it was quite pleasant. I think I like it. Think I will move it into bedroom tonight before I go to bed. I ordered some of the new scents today...Coco Mango, Raspberry Violet and Tranquil Tropics (plus others).

Crz, I hadn't looked at ebay--thanks for the idea. I was looking at the site linked here a few months ago, http://www.tartwarmers.com/pltabu.html Heading off to ebay now.....

I received an order yesterday that included a bag of Banana Nut Bread. I hadn't sampled it first, but it had so many positive comments from fellow tartettes, that I just went for it. YOU GUYS ROCK! It is the most delicious scent and people would have sworn I was cooking in my bedroom. Yummy!!! My DD in San Diego got her care package yesterday and we have hooked another one.
