I was just looking through my Dining Room hutch, looking through the drawers to throw things away and came across something I bought at least 20 years ago. I looks like a miniature crock pot with 4 holes in the lid. It holds exactly 2 cups of water. It has an electric cord. There was a tiny speck of some waxy pink residue in the bottom, which I wiped off and it had a floral scent. What is it???

Weren't they called "tarte" candles or something like that? Or you just let them melt into a puddle to scent your room? Last edited on 3/2/2012 "Oh, mother country, I do love you."

Now, I also remember seeing a cellophane bag of some dried grass, which I threw out because I thought my kids were smoking funny stuff. That was also about 20 years ago. I'll see if I can find some liquid potpourri in Publix, or as my husband suggested, try putting some lemon extract in water.

I put a couple of them in a foil muffin cup into the little potpourri pot and my entire house (up and down and all around) has the aroma of "Island Breeze". I LOVE it.
