During Kirby's October restock for Vintage Chic Scents I aimed to pick up her new customer created scent Pink Twinkling Lights (pretty much a pink peppermint mallow type of scent) but I was working the day of the restock and had to wait for my lunch break to order. By the time that rolled around, Pink Twinkling Lights were only a distant bokeh to taunt my nose... never to be sniffed. So I picked up two consolation prizes: You'll Never Walk Alone and It's A Wonderful Life/Cooking Baking at Mom's. These were around $17.75 each and shipped fast. Kirby and her team include extra bakery bags for the loaves.
You'll Never Walk Alone blends donuts, cupcakes, cookies and cinnamon buttercream frosting all together to make a vanilla heavy bakery scent that smells like it will throw amazingly and be a nice blender too. The cinnamon in it is softer and adds some richness to the scent but is not overly apparent at all.
It's A Wonderful Life and Cookie Baking At Mom's takes a classic spice scent (It's A Wonderful Life) full of clove, nutmeg and cinnamon (think Amish Quilt or Celtic Moonspice) and blends it up with Cookie Baking at Mom's which contains vanilla frosted gingerbread, cinnamon buns and sugar cookies. This one has spice in spades and I love it. It is a dreamboat of vanilla cream, baking spices and chewy gooey cookie treats.
I love my two loaf order. Kirby's spiced bakery is so well done. I do wish I could have snagged Pink Twinkling Lights... but maybe next time!
Did you pick up anything? She is opening again November 16th for a Very Vintage Christmas. Is anything calling out to you?
Mmmm, that Cookie Baking blend does sound yummy. I'd like to order one of these days but who knows when I'll ever get around to it. And of course I'm working on the next restock day.

I will slip some into your box. I can't believe it is already November. Deb. I am such a slacker! Hardly any Christmas gifts bought... no fall wreaths... what is my deal?! I am working the next restock day too but I have an appointment in the afternoon so I may be able to place a small order. There are a couple scents I am wanting to try out.
DeleteYeah, what's up with you? My online world is rather cricket-y and empty room echo-y lately. *overly dramatic sad pouty faced sigh*
DeleteHope your dad is doing okay!

I’m looking to finally place my first VCS purchase. I never smelled or melted before. :)
ReplyDeleteI’m looking at Picture Window Tree, Fezziwig’s Christmas Party or Rockefeller Tree Lighting/Fezziwig’s Christmas Party/It’s a Wonderful Life and the All About That Mint sampler so far.
How exciting April!! The Tree/Party/Life loaf is one I want too. I would like a mint sampler but I am too weird with the fruity/mint blends though I know I could just give them away. I need to look up Picture Window Tree. That one sounds cool. I was really hoping she would list Pink Twinkling Lights again. Ah well. Maybe another day.
DeletePicture window tree looks like it’s a new blend. I couldn’t copy and paste, but something with warm mittens, Snow, mistletoe and musky woods. I don’t know what that all means, but sounds up my alley! lol
DeleteApril... you sold me on that scent based on the notes alone. Sounds dreamy and refreshing.
DeleteHi, how are you? I'm gonna answer the ? you posed on IG here because that's how my scattered mind is working today. You asked for wax white whales and mine is actually VCS's Central Park Snowglobe, that is, if a white whale can be defined as trying for it twice, missing twice and giving up. I haven't ordered VCS in over a year now but I saw just today Kirby posted CPSG loaves will be available...Of course, I'm working too, but I have late morning start time, it depends on the opening. Good luck<3
ReplyDeleteHi Jay. I am ok. Kinda battling some things. In a tiny slump but looking forward to this weekend. Central Park Snowglobe! That one is a dreamboat. I saw that loaf posted and even though I have CPSG I still kinda want to try that one with the embeds of the other scent in it. Sounds kinda cool. I hope you get one. If you don't will you please let me know? I will share some of my CPSG with you.
