daniedb Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I bought a Yankee today.:tiptoe: The Cranberry Chutney is amazing. I LOVE it. I bought some tarts and I'm burning the Cran Chut and it is spectacular, I've got to find a dupe. I just HAD to have a candle I didn't make, and since the board was down, I couldn't go browsing through y'all's websites, and it was a jonesing I just couldn't ignore...until I bought a candle. DTs have been averted, but now I'm in the shame stage, coupled by a little of denial (no! I did NOT buy a Yankee!) and perhaps next will be a little anger (damn it, self! what have you done feeding the corporate, mediocre product machine?!) and perhaps I'll get to acceptance soon...but right now, I just needed to confess.Danie sneaks off furtively sniffing her beloved cranberry chutney tarts whispering "my preeeeeeciousssssssssssssss" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 You are forgiven! I was at a friend's house yesterday and she had a Yankee Storm Watch burning (I think that was the fragrance). I fell in love with it. I haven't gone to our local Hallmark to buy one yet, but if I can't find a FO dupe, I'm afraid I may take that path yet!!

Freezin Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 LOL....I still get Yankee catalogs in the mail because I love their scents. They have the best patchoulli. I haven't smelled the Cranberry Chutney yet, but you have made me want to....LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in PA Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Unfortunately, that's one of my partner's fav. Yank** scents,(the Cran. Chutney) and we've tried a few dupes, unsuccessfully though..:undecided I THINK MC has a dead on Storm Watch dupe (should've checked the site first before I posted that, sorry if I'm wrong folks... )I should also add that since we started making candles and tarts, I will NOT burn a commercial product, and Yanks Warm Apple Crisp is like, my fav. scent ever...But, of COURSE you are forgiven!!!

geekrunner Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 The first step in getting help is recognizing you have a problem.As topofmurrayhill would say, "I thought I sensed a disturbance in the Force."We all do strange things when we are deprived of what we are addicted to, and our bodies may reject attempts at appeasement by creating feelings of guilt, followed by shame and self-loathing.In the interest of compassion, I will abandon my usual hard line, soften my heart, and grant absolution THIS ONE TIME ONLY.Don't let it happen again. geek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrylane Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I personally have never tried it but that's what I read somewhere- ya can't beat it to order 8oz of it for $5 and get the free samples as well- I love ordering from them!And I got a storm watch from ICS that seems really strong- didn't put it in wax yet ...so i can't comment. just thought i'd throw it out there if you were looking for them.Meredyth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Actually we can only forgive you if you send your repentence in the form of oh a pillar apiece to all who have posted. Preferrably one you made lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quietgirl2004 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 That Cranberry Chutney is awesome. I liked that one too. Only place I seen that had it was Tennessee Candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc26 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I will forgive you for buying the candle! However I can not forgive you for pointing out yet another FO that I must try. I am a sucker for anything cranberry thanks to JS. I think we need to have an icon that is a "FO HOE WARNING" icon. You select that warning if your post contains a rave about another fo. lol even if it were done I would probably read those post first anyway. ...:tiptoe: :tiptoe: :tiptoe: slidin' off to look at the sites with dupes:tiptoe: :tiptoe: :tiptoe: ....

Crying Moon Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Thank You. Now I'm going to have to go out to the yankme store for a "sniffee run".Hey....even chefs have to go out to eat sometimes at a different restaurant. Most times it just reminds us that there is nothing better than a home cooked meal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzie Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Forgive yourself - it could happen to anyone - and enjoy your Yankee, it won't last forever. There, are you feeling better now? LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane42 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I have at least 40 Yankee tarts that I bought BEFORE I started making candles......I keep looking at them and wondering....should I? But it feels so WRONG... Of course, I am a newbie, and with the luck I am having making candles, I better just hold onto those babies a while longer...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFTS Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I'm pretty sure thecandlemakerstore.com has a dupe....but saveonscents too, right?Now I want to smell the yankee.I've also heard the candlemakerstore is a good dupe, haven't gotten around to trying it myself though. I do love that scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcroome2005 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 OHHHH man.. Makes me want to go out and smell it.. I have an idea.. Why dont we all go buy them, melt them down and then redo it our way LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in PA Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I tried TN's dupe of the Cran. Chutney, nice scent, but no dupe, weak throw too, IMO...Meredyth, I thought RA had a $50 min.?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in PA Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 OK, I checked: it WAS MC's Storm Watch that I poured for someone, it was a dead on dupe and threw really well. A good one!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
