  1. This is great news ,site looks nice.I noticed some of the descriptions are not correct .I am sure she will get things in order asap.I can only imagine the hard work involved with purchasing Peaks inventory. I am wandering if shipping is free with a certain minimum purchase .I will be loading my cart today.I never got around to phoneing in pre order.
  2. Moonstar ,I did get 2 samples from VA in the wax ,still have to test the PPW & Raspberry Mousse and Pumpkin Souffle. I will let you know.
  3. Sorry Moonstar ,I should not have the VA post in this topic .I meant to start a new post about this company.I have been super tired lately ,my mistake.Va is a huge company in Virginia .I had heard they purchased TCS ,so I called the owner.He was so polite and friends with the owners of TCS.I was told Kimberly used to purchase some of her oils from his Co. She never sold the co and just quit after her husband's passing. I have researched this company , they are much larger than TCS as he stated.I learned alot thru my phone call to him.I am excited to see how the oil performs in the wax.
  4. Yes I received the samples yesterday .I will get these in the wax over the weekend & post results.I know a few smell the same OOB that I used from TCS . The Raspberry Mousse ,Pumpkin Souffle & Pumpkin pecan Waffle .I also ordered a Cinnamon Spice cake ,smells really good .Oh the other was Caramel nut Cluster ,not sure on how this one will test out,sometimes oils bloom in wax. I am hoping the PPW works out ,loved TCS .
  5. Wild Maine Bluberry is another great scent ,be sure to sniff this one 😀
  6. Have a wonderful trip and definitely try VooDoo love along with any I mentioned above .I have had great results with these .I only make wax melts and paraffin is my wax.One of my favorite waxes is CW 129 .I just received sampler 5 lb bags of the 220 &230 soy from CW. I am wanting to experiment with some soy for wax melts .Do some para soy blends and see what I come up with .Enjoy your CW trip ,sounds exciting. I live in South,Tx and buy many of my products from CW. I do have a long list of fragrance oils suppliers and need to narrow these down .
  7. Harvest and Poinsettias& Pine are awesome.P&P has a mulberry type aroma and can barely smell the pine note in this one.I renamed this one The Christmas Shoppe.Cw has some wonderful oils.To name you some I have had great luck with and very strong throw is Harvest,Poin& Pine,Storm Watch,Maple Butter,Gingerbread Spice cake,Pumpkin Chai,Cranberry Spice,Lavender &Lemons,Frasier fir,Voo Doo Love.I do not care for Spice at all .Oh their Spruce Garland is a nice one too.I recommend the Ultimate Bold scents,most are awesome .
  8. Trapp, I remember you naming one Drunken Pumpkin.It stuck in my head because it was so unique.That is so bizarre they have a oil named after your idea . I agree with Terry ,sounds like board cruise to me lol.
  9. Could try pouring at a lower temp.I noticed my melts sink when I pour to hot.I now pour around 150 .I use paraffin waxes.
  10. Brazilian Coffee Sugarcane is terrific from Aztec It has a smooth sweet coffee aroma with great throw in paraffin wax melts .
  11. candlesncats , I called Keystone & have a feeling the orders over the phone will not ship very prompt. I need some for the holidays & will be ordering on the phone as well. I was to busy to do so yesterday . I was told things were not near organized yet & still in process of getting the shop together .It appears the web site is going to be on the bottom of the list. I was hoping to at least get a few 1 lb bottles soon . How long ago did you place your phone order ?
  12. Trappeur ,VA owner returned my call today regarding TCS OILS. I was told Kimberly did not sell the company .He stated they did not buy her out at all. I was told she actually bought oils from VA .I asked was PPW one of them & he replied yes. He was super nice & told me Raspberry Mousse and more she used to purchase. I placed a order today for 5 samples & will let you know on the PPW .I remember you were looking for this scent same as me when TCS closed. I got the feeling TCS did not purchase every scent they carried from VA ,however he stated TCS used to buy many of his oils. He was very polite
  13. So the owner of VA returned my call today .This could be great news ,hoping . He told me they did not buy out TCS . They are actually a much larger company than TCS, he stated. I was told Kimberly & Brent used to purchase oils from them . He was very polite & honest . He said I could certainly feel free to purchase some samples from VA & would not guarantee these would be identical . I have a feeling I have found some of the TCS oils I have been searching for. He named the Raspberry Mousse ,Pumpkin pecan Waffle ,Vanilla bean Noel & more that were purchased from Kim when the business was open. I was also told she did not sell her business ,she just no longer wanted to be in the business, due to her loss . I have placed a sampler order with VA today & look forward to receiving these oils. VA offers 5 scents for 13.95 . This is free shipping ,so hope to get my PPW ,Raspberry Mousse ,VBN back again I did not see Salty Caramel on the site. He stated TCS did not buy all their oils from them ,but did purchase a lot when the business was open. . He also told me to call back if I had anymore questions. I may call back & ask if he knows where I could possibly find some of the other oils she had ,such as Salty Caramel . He was & still is a very good friend to Kimberly . I wanted to let you know the response I received .This is good news IMO .I look forward to the samples .I will know right away if this is the same fragrances as I used to purchase from TCS , fingers crossed Thanks , katmeltswax.....
  14. Peak & Aztec both have a awesome BC ! Keystone will now carry Peaks & you will have to call in the order to purchase until website is completed .I will have to try RE as well. Sounds great
  15. Hi Trappeur , I would say yes because I told her I wanted 1 lb. bottles I will be calling in my order today & will let you know . I just hope I receive the oils in a reasonable amount of time. I got the feeling things were really hectic .She encouraged me to order over the phone asap for fastest shipping .
  16. I called Keystone yesterday regarding Peak oils. I was told I could pre order on the phone & will get faster shipping .She stated they are still in process of unloading & sorting inventory. I asked when the oils will be available online ,she said she was not sure . Sounds like it could be a while still. I was also told none of the peak oils are the site at all. I will be calling today to place my order for some I need for the holidays .Cinnamon &Balsam ,Autumn walk ,Cranberry Oak and a few more. I felt she was unable to let me know when my order would be shipped. I will order today & hope for the best .
  17. Barbara AL , Did you get a chance to put Keystone Hawaiian punch & Candy crush in the wax ? If so were these good performers ? Thank you kindly .I look forward to trying Keystones soon.
  18. Trappeur ,It would be fantastic if VA had the original TCS Pumpkin pecan Waffle we miss so much I hope Va did buy out TCS .This would be great as Keystone & Peak situation .You are right it would certainly bring VA a lot of business . I know this is a older post ,just now read this one & sounds like good news. I will call tomorrow for sure ,thanks ,Kat
  19. I highly recommend Aztecs Cactus & Sea Salt along with Coastal & Sea minerals if you like ocean sea type scents. All of these are fantastic IMO. I definitely agree Aztecs is better quality and stronger oils than NG. I love Aztec & only ordered from NG once . I got Hot orange Danish & ended up adding a few drops of orange essential oil ,to make it a tad bit stronger .I did get their famous Pumpkin crunch cake as well. I am going to blend with Aztecs pumpkin spice to see if this will help the scent throw . I recommend Aztecs Carrot cake if your looking for a spicy SWEET stronger scent .I definitely prefer Aztecs Carrot Cake over NG PUM C.Cake . Candlewic has some amazing oils in their Ultimate & Bold selections. Gingerbread spice cake super strong & Pumpkin ginger streusel . I just wanted to let you know definitely try the ocean types I mentioned above from Aztec ,hope this helps .
  20. What type of cake scent did you use ? If you don't mind me asking.I may need to try blending pumpkins to get a good scent. I am going to mix Aztecs bluberry pumpkin patch with Candlewics Wild Maine Bluberry and see how it turns out.The WMB is a wonderful scent and strong ,may add a bit of cinnamon as well.
  21. I don't feel so alone now with the Pumkin scents.I have the worse luck with Pumpkin scents.I do love Pumpkin pecan Waffle and performs great in wax melts ,however all other pumpkin scents just do not seem to perform very well for me.I have Candlescience famous p souffle and p pie .I have tried all of Aztecs pumpkin scents.Maybe I will try Peaks pumpkins as soon as keystone starts offering the oils. I need a few good pumpkins for wax melts to work out ,it is so popular during fall.I do like Aztecs new Cinn Peppermint creme ,reminds me of minty egg nog .It is very unique .
  22. I will be more than happy to send you a sample of the Lavender Lemon CW. I always keep this one in stock .I order the 1 pound bottles
  23. Thank you for sharing ! I definitely recommend CW Lavender Lemon ,it is the Yankee version & the absolute best I have found .I have tried many co & settled on CW ,so strong and has a wonderful aroma I may try a little soy with my paraffin . I like a creamy looking tart . I hear soy gives bakery scents a really nice throw .I will let you know how my blends turn out. I just received 220 & 230 soy from CW ,ordered 5 lb sample bags to start with .I love the way this wax is tiny little granules ,looks so easy to use . I have to take a hammer to my 129 ,hurts my neck & wrist to beat a 50 pound case into small chunks .I do like the 129 for many scents .I also use 4630 + 4625 with some fragrances as well. Thank you bunches & please do try the Lavender Lemon ,promise you will Love this one
  24. You are so very welcome! I loved that song & needed a name for a tobacco scent ,so came up with that one It works for me in wax melts
  25. You are welcome Trappeur I make a tart with a Tobacco scent ,I call Mr. Bo Jangles ,from the song way back when . It is the name that draws attention .This seems to just work sometimes with scents that are not so easy to move. Of course that's not really western ,just saying sometimes a unusual name will certainly move a product lol I LOVE your Halloween labels & names . You will do great with the western ones as well .I haved admire your talent since I joined this site
