And thank you for you...They do smell quite lovely!! And thank you for your very kind words <3 I hope you can get some soon. I do agree, the whole FB thing does make it hard. I was off of FB for about 4 years there when I started getting into wax I realized I HAD to be on FB to catch certain vendors I loved (mainly RG and CFTKR) so I made a "fake" profile just for wax, but then decided what the heck, it was time to just come back. So a fake profile or a friend who is on IG and can message or text you when she is open is a nice alternative. :-)TheRedolentMermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025330454820306972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-55691414278313680702017-05-01T03:01:31.908-04:002017-05-01T03:01:31.908-04:00All of those sound absolutely amazing!!

I've yet to snag any smelly goodness from Mrs. Carol yet but I'm determined to one day! :) I do wish there was another way to keep up with the CFTKR openings though, besides FB of course because I feel like (and honesty maybe it's just me lol!)

I spray painted it white and sanded it a little and use it on my bookshelf to hold my 3-wicks. I ended up repurposing it as a tart holder for this photoshoot. I was blanking on how to take the pics then inspiration struck. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. <br /><br />The raspberries are such fat cute little things. They smell pretty good too. Carol's samples always leave me crushing over a new scent.

It is not everyone's favorite strawberry but it really hits my nose just right. I think the flip flops are newer, or at least I don't remember them in the past but Carol does have seasonal molds she uses sometimes. That Napa one is so great. I can see why you love it. I do too. <br /><br />Thank you Jay! The weekend flew by. I wasn't feeling the best though. I ended up napping both Saturday and Sunday and having some weepiness but that happens sometimes. I feel like I am coming down with something. But hey. With only one month of school left to go, the rest of the school year will fly by then it will be all weekends all the time.

Well...My gosh, Julie, these photos look fantastic! Well done. I really like the little stand you've got them set up on - they look so great off-set against the white (or very, very pale blue, maybe.) Everything looks scrumptious, especially those little raspberries - they're adorable!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-23400048542178331242017-04-28T18:33:54.573-04:002017-04-28T18:33:54.573-04:00Don't know if it's the stunning photos or ...Don't know if it's the stunning photos or what, but every single one sounds good to me. I should order those strawberries just to display as wax art. Still haven't melted the strawberry you sent, but I'm inspired to now, thank you for sending some of your faves:) Are the flip flop shapes new? I need! Napa Valley Sun is in my Yankee top 5, definitely gonna be on the lookout, feeling a summer order full of these goodies I hope. More unrefutable evidence that Carol is the best and no one can showcase her stuff like you. Enjoy your melts and your weekend.Jaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849863681125100236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-82944598991651504542017-04-28T16:32:36.537-04:002017-04-28T16:32:36.537-04:00Aren't they?

I am going to try and be a good girl by reading Hollow City so I can mail it back to you with your tarts before the end of the month. I love Coconut Rum Cake but I am not sure if I could melt Apple Ale all the time. You have to tell me what you think when you get it.

I know my collection of tarts leans towards CFTKR but I just love the scents and longevity and the throw consistency. I have not melted my Sun Kissed Sugarcane yet but I am excited to do so. I hope it does well for us! <br /><br />I will make a summer basket here soon and will add Twisted Mermaid and Sun Kissed Sugarcane to it. It was SO HOT yesterday and today. My all natural deodorant has been pushed to the edge for sure. So basically it feels like summer here. Ready to melt those summery scents.

Thank you again for getting those other two scents for me.

Floored with how amazing everything sounds let alone smells. Killing it with the pictures too, such a great set up! <br />That Sun Kissed Sugarcane is absolutely terrific on cold, I will probably hang onto it for awhile so I can just simply reach for it and sniff whenever I please. <br />Id love to hear further melted reviews on any of the above melts especially Twisted Mermaid.
