We try to make sure the cabins have a nice view and a hot tub or pool table/foosball. Adam needs the vacation and we are all very much excited. <br /><br />My sisters are coming over today to watch Serendipity and hype ourselves up for NYC. I am in such a love affair with that city.

Johnny Cash, yes ma'am. I love Don Williams too. <br /><br />Yeah, the bugs are different up there for sure. We had a scorpion in the tub in one cabin and I had not encountered that before. But we took it all in stride. Bugs don't bother me unless they are cockroaches. But if a bear was breaking in I would take issue with that. <br /><br />She chose Mysa because it is a Swedish word that means along the lines of cozy, sort of like hygge. And it is a super duper cozy scent so far. I don't have the final scent but she sent me a tester of the in-progress scent and I am falling hard. <br /><br />Yes!! PLEASE Pumpkin Woods!!! I have no seen the new EO candles. I am still wanting to track down a Black Rose one a reader wants me to sniff. He thinks I will like it. But I have struck out everywhere I have gone.

Johnny Cash + June Carter had a good rotation too:)<br />Gatlinburg/Smokies are such a perfect family place. I remember our cabin area having lots of bugs (big ones, weird ones) but as a Florida native, you probably won't bat an eye. I think there was also a little artist/craft trail we took on the edge of town, I'm sure you'll find cool handcrafted goodies. Hopefully the artists have recovered from the devastating fires from recent years. Shel's aunt lives in TN and says the air quality is better this year.<br /><br />MooScents on my possible list, as is Goldwillow-she features the prettiest waxes and embroidered products, but the scent range was lacking earthy, fresh or enough for me to order. A Halloween advent sounds like great fun, however.<br />Mysa perfume, a nod to The Mother of Dragon's in GOT? Attention grabbed there, thank you. I hope BBW brings Pumpkin Woods back, thier collections are all over the place. Have you seen the new essential oils? They really caught my eye. <br />Jaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849863681125100236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-47006906621865747502017-07-07T08:00:09.848-04:002017-07-07T08:00:09.848-04:00Pardon the butting in-Carol announced what now?

It took Adam and I a while to be able to travel since we both started out at minimum wage jobs, but he was hugely blessed and pushed himself too and eventually we were able to take a vacation once a year for a week. As much as I enjoy "things" (especially smelly things) I would much rather have memories and experiences if I can swing it. <3<br /><br />I hope we can both catch CFTKR, I am SO happy Carol announced anyone can order from here on out. I am going to be angling for that pumpkin peppercorn like no one's business! Dessa=mmmmmmm and TDC has been calling to me too.

I think we are aiming for a cute handthrown mug from somewhere as a souvenir. <br /><br />Golden Willow Wax and Sweet Luna's Orchard are both new to me! Thanks! I will have to keep an eye out for them. I love the idea of a Halloween advent calendar. What a cute idea. I am ok with wax being slightly less strong in my room too. Keeps things airy and atmospheric.

The reviews are good for it though. We love to find our cabins and rental homes on VRBO.com... usually some good deals to be had.

I hope there are birds to watch. Might need to bring some seed or suet. I will go places with you! Let's hit up old Ludwig's stomping grounds. I have a friend who is in Germany right now and taking pictures of castles. Totally made me think of you. <br /><br />I might have to check in with Sweet Fixations too here soon. She has a few I know I like too.

I am intrigued by the comment about the Halloween Advent Calender.. *ears perk* that might be interesting and worth looking into. <br />I really wish the hubbie and I had more time to travel and just get away! Enjoy life! I keep telling myself to keep trucking and maybe one day. <br />As for fall fragrances I do want to maybe try to catch CFTKR if at all possible and than probably a Dessas. Who knows I'm sure there will be more. As for candles.. I have to get some marshmallow fireside as well!

Nashville is amazing, but I probably wouldn't leave the mountains if I was staying in that cabin ;). <br />As far as fall wax, I'm looking forward to see what Ale from Golden Willow Waxes will be offering, since she's mentioned a Halloween advent calendar! She's relatively new, but I love her aesthetic. I've found her wax throws light to medium for me, so it's perfect for the bedroom. I hope to stock up on Sweet Luna's Orchard when she opens on Saturday.Sarah from WIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13140815492152532051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-6364492104489902632017-07-06T09:40:52.697-04:002017-07-06T09:40:52.697-04:00Ditto what Deb said -- What a view from the cabin!...Ditto what Deb said -- What a view from the cabin!

I think it would make things more fun and inviting than just hubby and I awkwardly trying to go somewhere.<br /><br />I think I'm skipping Dessa's this year. I'll be getting my usual Sweet Fixations fall/winter must-haves any day now, and I think that's all I'll do for indie orders.<br /><br />~DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658958620972494748noreply@blogger.com
