But for commercial candles I prefer White Barn (we used to have a store, it closed) and Illuminations (ditto). And I really wish, in my crotchety old broad way, that they would stock some basic stuff like plain unscented tapers and classic things like bayberry, at least seasonally. They are way too into the sickening sweet things, especially at Christmas - it's all Elf Barf to me.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16862784896982818464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120696498216284839.post-23597547506866003042007-12-19T14:46:00.000-05:002007-12-19T14:46:00.000-05:00I really like a lot of the Yankee Candle Scents.

I stay away from the food scented ones, except for the Pumpkin pie one. I love that in the fall.Amy in StLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06071519072605592545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120696498216284839.post-2857493322115005542007-12-19T13:13:00.000-05:002007-12-19T13:13:00.000-05:00I have been buying soy candles online.

And Murphy will get used to Dudley being gone.

Several levels above Stinkee Candles and for around the same price. I was crushed when they closed, their cranberry orange candle was my holiday standard. Apparently crap really does sell and quality doesn't. Why am I saying "apparently?" That's the story behind WalMart and everything on Fox. Sigh.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16862784896982818464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120696498216284839.post-1434089506120947182007-12-18T19:04:00.000-05:002007-12-18T19:04:00.000-05:00Ugh - I can't even be near a Yankee Candle shop wi...Ugh - I can't even be near a Yankee Candle shop without gagging. Their scents are AWFUL! And the crap the sell - nothing in there looks even remotely interesting to me.<BR/><BR/>Nothing like finding a good local-ish candle shop. I had one in my old town and stocked up before we moved. I will need to search the new town for something similar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120696498216284839.post-13756305482691324842007-12-18T18:04:00.000-05:002007-12-18T18:04:00.000-05:00Yeah, you can offend Bernie any way you want...No,...Yeah, you can offend Bernie any way you want...No, wait.
