Carebear, do you have a toaster oven? Maybe you can try that for a lower temp to keep the hearts soft? Mine has a lower temp setting (Rival brand).

HTH,

I also loved the Cedarwood Vanilla and had a good hot & cold throw. Now about that Carmalized Praline...I can't give it away :tiptoe: :tiptoe: Yuck.. :rolleyes2

JMO,

WOW..... guess what was in my mailbox??? Yes, FINALLY my French Lime Blossom. She answered the paypal disbute saying she had been in the hospital (for a month????) and didn't have access to her phone or a computer....AND her DH WAS supposed to notify her customer's that she was in the hospital????? Ok...whatever I'm just happy I received my order and she did throw in 2 oz of Love Spell I guess to make up for the LONG wait. :tiptoe: :tiptoe:

Correction she DOES offer USPS BUT due to the flashpoint it has to go UPS....which now is more then $11.00 to me ....

Her Ultimate Christmas is my ALL time favorite scent for year round....that being said, the price IS high BUT her shipping to me is more then $10 which to me is worse. I WISH she offered an alternate shipping option like USPS then she would have a customer for life just for the Ultimate Christmas!!! ONE candle with that scent fills my whole house!!!!

Ok...I see the pre-buy is with her.....I'm NOT likely to do a pre-buy with her when I can't seem to get what I've already paid for.

KWIM?

I personally spoke to her (by phone) after placing my order, which she stated at that time (12-17) that she had it and would ship it that day. As long as she had the supplies on her site she was still supposedly shipping and open. So far as a pre-buy...with whom might I ask?

FYI,

Beverly

I posted awhile back that I had ordered (12/17) some French Lime Blossom from Denise that I had STILL not received..... WELL I STILL haven't received it after several emails (un-answered) AND several messages left on her voice mail....soooo unfortunatedly today I had to open a paypal disbute to try to get a refund. I just don't get it, IF your running a business how do you think your reputation is going to withstand that kind of dealing...or in my case NOT???? I am SO disappointed as this was my FIRST dealings with her. Needless to say IF she does re-open I WILL NOT be ordering from her in the future!!! And I'm saying buyer beware!!!!! :tiptoe: my:2cents: !

If SOS doesn't work for you I bought mine at WSP and had good results with my 50/50 blend wax.

Ok I'll play:

Starville-Creme Brulee

Ky-Mediterranean Fig

Bird of Paradise (I mix from BCN)

Pomegrante Fig- (My mix KY)

Wsp-Aqua Spa

I'm with you mystical...I bought the most awesome Guess purse NWT retail $95.00 for $30 with FREE shipping!!! !

Beverly

I know Denise said she wanted to re-open after the first...I placed an order on the 17th for French Lime Blossom (Jo Malone) and I'm still waiting for it( she said she was shipping that day)?????

Beverly

Well since I've never had the dup I can't say at this point except FOR SURE perfume and I would imagine lotion, body cream ect. I DID get the perfume for Christmas.....but a small bottle this time..... ..... so for sure will need the dup!!! Your most welcome Grumphy Girl and you know how divine the original is so yes I'm an enabler :rolleyes2 !!!

Yippy I got a sample from Tony's and it is really close to the original. I've been working with them to see if they could get a dup and now I know they can, now just have to wait on word as to..... if and when they will be adding it???? Of course I asked for the real thing for Christmas so that will tide me over. I just thought I'd share so those of you who also LOVE Jo Malone's Grapefruit scent will know whats hopefully in the works. I will post as I hear more! Happy Holidays everyone!!!!

santa wink santa chee :feliz:

Beverly

UPDATE, she did still have what I ordered and said she'd ship out the same day so all is good! I guess I got freaked out too soon!

Beverly

Thanks Barbara...I went and ordered it, completing the transaction and THEN see she is temporarily closed down? IF she is closed then how was I able to complete the transaction? Now I don't know if I will get my order OR if I'll get a refund??? I tried calling and left a message and also sent her an email so I'm kinda in limbo not knowing if I'll get the f/o or not ...

Beverly

French Lime Blossom?? I thought I had gotten it at Tony's but no?? Anyone see it somewhere???? Hoping to get the dup of Jo Malone grapefruit...we are working on it at Tony's WOO HOO My "favorite" scent!!!!

Beverly

Let me add my vote for Ky!!!

Another vote for Starville's Creme Brulee, it is SO yummy I re-named it Gourmet Creme Brulee!!!

WSP used to carry the Trapp dupe...but not anymore

Candlebuddy,

I too have been buying some of my dyes from Candlechem but my last experience....not so good I bought cranberry liquid dye, at least that's what he INSISTED it was, but in my wax it was more purple/heather, needless to say the CS wasn't good at all this time around so am changing my supplier. The guy was REALLY rude to me and I've been buying from them for several years!!!!

I just had to post on one of the newer scents from The Candle Source...Cranberry Peach Cider is yummy strong at 1 oz pp in my 50/50 blend wax, you can really smell all the different notes!

I also just added Hillbilly Homebrew from NG with pretty much the same results, 1 oz pp in 50/50 blend wax. I HAVE to stop adding new scents!!!!

Beverly

RRD wicks can be found at Bittercreek and I think Peaks has them??

HTH,

Beverly

Have you tried RRD wicks? I've had GREAT results with wicking problems with them!

HTH,

Beverly

I added Old Fashioned Christmas this year, we'll see how it does.

HTH,

Beverly
