Tell ya what, had you been around I would have gladly donated them to you.
I'm a big advocate of recycling.

I would have given them to my aunt as Christmas gifts.

I'm burning a great candle called "Birthday Cake".

It smells delicious and far better than the cat piss smell that is sneaking thru one of my windows all thanks to a stray tomcat that keeps coming up onto that window and spraying the screen.

The previous residents must have had a non-spayed female cat.

My current favorite is a vanilla/mint one I have lying around. I had a lime/cilantro one before that that was nice and light. I guess I like light and airy food smells.
I'm not much for citrus, though, and I really can't take heavy patchouli/musk/jasmine-y ones.

I like the mango coconut candle by Illume that my sweetie bought me last Valentine's day. Illume makes another yummy smelling candle called Angel Food that I saw around Christmas in a store, but now it's gone. I will have to order it online I think.
I sometimes CRAVE the scent of Voluspa's Baltic Amber candle. It's just heavenly. I also can't wait to get my hands on a masala chai scented candle from Mani's Altru collection. It's the priciest of them all, so it will be a while before I bring it home.

Everyone should have a crazy aunt if they don't already have one.

My favorites are:
Orange & Clove (found at Target bu now gone
Vanilla
Fresh Green Apple (PartyLite)
The Relaxing one from PartyLite...
Falling Leaves (discontinued from PartyLite) smelled like the best campfire ever!


excuse me, need to hit eBay for a candle fix now (shhhhh )

CarrieMpls said:

Mmmmm Vanilla Mint, I have 2 of those somewhere that I'm reluctant to burn because I may not find them again Ebay...

Actually I think maybe it's candle shopping day for me too...many of you
have given me some new ideas. I like variety.

A few years ago I bought a Mysteria Candle at the Crazy Wisdom Bookstore in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The globe vase that holds it has beautiful wax designs on the inside. It is the most gorgeous fragrance ~ mysterious and seductive but not heavy ~ I could never find one like it until recently on ebay!!!!
