Oh boy, is right! There are so many of them that sound yummy. Time to step up the tart warming and make room for the new scents:-)

Ohhhhh, I am so happy to see that Lavender Apples & Oak is returning!!!

I had a couple of samples in my last sampler bag that I haven't seen listed on her site--Baked Apples was delicious in my kitchen for a few days and made me ready for fall. Another, Honey Harvest, reminded me of Greek pastry, a very strong honey scent. Niether are on her list so I guess they were some she tested and decided against. I'm hoping the Baked Apple Pie will be as good or better than Baked Apples!

Good morning, Tartettes! Time to pop on a soothing, calming tart like Bedtime Bath for today's stressful Big Brother live show!

Yay, Cathie, for the return of your Lavender Apples & Oak! I bet there will be a lot of happy people in your office.

Baked Apples is actually one of my favorite fall scents! It is under Bakery, but it is not in alpha order - 6th one down in the first column. :o) I love that one. It is great mixed with a cinnamon scent like Cini Buns.

And Honey Harvest is under Designer. I have a sample of it, but I have never tried it - sounds like something I would like, though, so I will have to find it and put it in the batting cage!

Jinksy - how's the tart burning project going?

My new favorite at the moment is Pink Lemon Clafouti. It is soooo delicious. I also have Caramel Dip going, which was one of the Never Ending Joy tarts ... and the aforementioned Bedtime Bath.

Julip- my warmers are working overtime! lol. I've got Night Blooming Jasmine and Blackberry Musk on today. Soon I'll be putting on a Bedtime Bed to sooth my nerves for tonight's live eviction show. I'm hoping it'll help. And may I just say, your house must smell heavenly today!

Cathie, I love lavender, apples and oak too and was happy to see that make a comeback. Lucky us.

Julip, thanks for pointing me in the right direction for Baked Apples and Honey Harvest. I really wish there was an alphabetical masterlist on her site!

I'm getting one last night out of my Baked Apples so it is great to know I can get some more. Now, just trying to figure out how to explain to my hubby that I needed to order more tarts when the closet shelf is FULL...

Christiii.. if you mean Soyful Joys tarts, besides the sj site, there is a delphi formu that can be accessed from that site where people often sell lots or single tarts.

Other soy tarts.. I'd just google, I guess. Julip can tell you what happened to her non-SJ soy tarts.. Julip being the queen of recycling.

(ebay being one source)

I would carry this brand in my boutique, but if not if they (tarts in general) are available in walmart and places like that...Ive just never seen them before..but i dont get out much...I just try to carry things that you cant find everywhere...no slight against Walmart!!

I've only seen wax tarts in stores, the Yankee Candle ones. Warmers I've gotten plain ones at Joann, Michaels, and places like that.

Hey Sea - wow, it has been ages since I have been here! LOL about me being the queen of recycling.

Christiii - I do know of one place online that can direct you to a wholesale supplier of a nice selection of tart warmers - http://www.tartburners.com/wholin.html

They request an email with your information in exchange for the wholesaler's information. They do not provide wholesale info for most of their candles and tarts.

As for tarts, I am not sure of a place that wholesales them. The thing I like about soy tarts is that they seem to scent cleaner and nicer than paraffin candle tarts - and I prefer Alyce's because she makes them 'fresh to order', which allows her to not have to add a lot of 'preservatives', which in my mind provides cleaner air and a cleaner burn. Many tarts found in retail stores have additives that allow them a long shelf life. That is just my opinion, though, and I know a lot of people enjoy them!

As for the recycling, soy tarts that I bought on ebay were not to my liking - they gave me headaches! - but the kids down the street were overjoyed to have them to use for surf wax. :-)

Mama - woo hoo! I need to get burning again, too. A banana nut bread tart sounds like the perfect way to end the BB7 season.

Christii, I use tealights as well as Candlsense Warmers (I think that's what they're called) to warm my soy tarts, and they both work well.

Christiii - The Candlsense Warmers look like this:


You can use these with jar candles or like we do with our tarts using ramekins on top with the tart inside.. and if you have them, Silicups... since they make popping the tarts in and out super easy! There's also a variety of differnt warmers which are fancier or funkier looking and lots of different kinds of ramekins or even burners w/tealights that are ceramic and cute. I prefer the electric warmer because I don't like having to worry about a flame. I have found soy tarts in stores, but I haven't found any I want to buy a ton of, but they weren't bad. If you wanted to experiment, there are people who sell them in huge lots on Ebay, but it would be hit or miss in finding some you really like and want to carry. Hope this helps some. :-)

Christiiiii - these warmers have gotten popular because you don't have to light a candle when you use them, you just put a jar candle on a warmer and you get the scent but not the junk from wicks.

Alyce's soy tarts don't burn away, soy wax doesn't disappear. You know the tart is finished when there is no longer a scent. With Soyful-Joys tarts, that is typically 12-20 hours, per the FAQs found at Alyce's site:

http://www.soyful-joys.com/faq.htm

Also, at the top of this page are links to some "Helpful Hints" and "Reviews" that have been gathered from this thread.

Hello Tartettes!

Well, it's that time of year again, the cooler weather calls for warming tarts! Don't you think?

I just got a new tart delivery from Alyce and boy are they yummy. I've got all my warmers up and running. Pumpkin muffins is heavenly and so is gingerbread and apples. I also restocked on some of my favorites like fresh baked cookies and waffle cone.

Oh, and I finally found some fun pug warmers.
Cute, Don't you think?
