Autumn Is In the Air

TenderMercies — Sat, 09 Sep 2017 03:25:44 GMT

Which scented candles are you currently burning? Are you still enjoyijg the sweet scents of summer, or have you shifted to Fall?

I'm burning Mountain Lodge by Yankee Candle in the bedroom, and Rigaud Vesuve in the living room. Both are smokey and woodsy. I have a few of my pumpkins out, and a cold front going through my area has given me an excuse to light a fire. There's no turning back for me now!

I picked up Mulled Cider grecian pillar style candles from Root Candles while traveling. Nice autumn scent. I burn them in oversized votive glass from Libbey glass.

Not chilly enough for a fire yet but it will be 40 degrees tonite.

Woodwick's Redwood.

This is probably my favorite, even over pine.

It smells like a fireplace/campfire, very smokey.

I also have a pumpkin/mcintosh from Michael's-its alright but not very strong.

I think I had recently smelled Yankee candle's mountain lodge-I'll have to try that again-isn't that an enticing name? Though I don't like Yankee Candle as much as I used to.

You can tell we love to even just talk about candles!

@on the bay Redwood is a favorite, go-to candles for me, too. I burn it in my bedroom at any time of year. It reminds me of the Lane Cedar Chest I had in my bedroom as a child. If you have ever smelled Woodwick's, Sand and Driftwood, it has a similar smell to Yankee Candle's, Mountain Lodge. That's one of my favorites, too. I have to admit that I haven't purchased a Mountain Lodge candle for years, because the last time I ordered 4 of them directly from the company, they had no throw. If you read the reviews on their website, you'll see that this is a common complaint about this candle. The reason why I purchased this one is because they had it in my grocery store, and it was one sale. I decided to give it a second chance, and it was worth it. Year's ago, I found a candle at Michaels around the holidays that smelled very similar to BBW's candle, Sweater Weather, and I loved it. The sale prices on Michaels' candles are great, and the throw is good, too.

@TenderMerciesYou're right! Like a cedar chest! I love that too-the little boxes from Stukeys we used to get

I'll have to try mountain lodge again if I see it.

Thaks for all the nice descriptions!

Yes, autumn is definitely in the air. It is so autumn-like where I live today--very cool with a light breeze and a very vibrant blue sky--just gorgeous out! I've already bought several large Fall mums in yellow, rust and burgundy colors and was positioning them around outside. Right now I have my Nest pumpkin chai candle lit. I can't wait to Harry's candles ship out on the 15th. I just checked my order status so they should be shipping out next week. Did anyone else order his Fall TSV?

We just had a cool front come through last Wednesday bringing us mid to lower 80s weather during the day and 60s at night! We are loving that, but we are not loving Hurricane Irma. She will be upon us tomorrow afternoon through early Tuesday. We are to get lots of rain, wind, and possible tornados. Everyone evacuated West and North, but Irma switched things up and is now headed up the west coast of Florida and west Georgia. I'm in the western side of the southeast region, so we are getting tropical storm weather. We are rural, so we will have plenty of land to absorb the water, so we aren't worried there, nor with my dirt road as long as people don't go bogging up and down it. I still don't know if we are to report to work on Monday or Tuesday. I guess we'll find out tomorrow. I hope the boss lady doesn't forget to send it, as I won't be coming anyway! I won't wait for her to make a decision.

Maybe somewhere but not in the Boston area this week. It will be mid 80's through Friday and right now they are saying high 70's for the weekend. I love it! I hope it will be another very long, warm fall.

Our mornings here have been brisk, 50 degrees and chilly, but it warms up to the 70's, today and tomorrow the high 70's and sunny! The evenings and early morning though feel like Fall for sure....I can't wait to break out my apple and spice and pumkpin and spice candles in a few weeks!!!! Although I am still hoping for the rest of September to be warm still........Our winters here in Wisconsin are so long and cold, I like the nice weather for as long as it will stay around! Uusually by October it is definitely Fall........

I love fall and the cooler temps....I have been opening the doors and windows during the day...

CANDLEQUEEN — Thu, 14 Sep 2017 15:40:47 GMT

This weekend in Wisconsin, we willbe in the low 80's......I am sure this is our last hurrah at the very warm temps......This past week it has been 70's and sunny and beautiful, but foggy and cool in the early mornings, and after the sun goes down in the evening.....I will take it though, because for us we know Winter is right around the corner!

I caved and picked up a couple of Glade pumpkin and cider candles. I am waiting for the Slatkin fall candles to ship. I did start using fall Wallflowers from BBW.

It is Africa hot down here and I wish I could experience the cool air!

@flickerbulb So glad that you are safe from Irma. We'll send you some cool weather around December.

Thanks @lucymo! I am not complaining as I am lucky to have electricity and air! I have to give a huge shout out to FPL as they got the electricity back on in record time!

I dream of taking a trip to see the leaves change in Vermont one fine fall day!

@flickerbulb I hope you get to go to VT sometime. I don't think we'll have as much color here as normal since it's been so dry. A lot of the leaves just dry up and fall off.

You are lucky to have power back on so soon. I thought it would be weeks and it may be longer in some areas.

I'm in Ohio and our weather for the past couple of weeks has been cool. Well below normal temps.

I got a bee in my bonnet for fall and almost started to put out fall decor but decided to hold off. Now, temps are warmer and it's more humid. In fact, right now we are supposed to be anywhere from the upper 70's to mid-80's through next Friday, with the first day of fall having a predicted temp of 84. LOL

I'm not burning candles. I find I'm not much of a candle burner anymore. Between my wall plug-ins and my Scentsy stuff, I don't really do candles.

I did change my wall plug-in to an apple/cinnamon scent that I love. Everyone always comments about how nice the house smells when they come in and have that plug-in.

I also have some fall scents for my scentsy burner.

I rotate between scents almost everyday... and have been burning Cheerful Giver's-- Lemon Butter Pound Cake today. These candles have such a nice throw that I only have to burn one at a time, the whole house smells delicious without being overpowering.

Favorites for fall are Orange Cinnamon Clove, Salted Caramel, Juicy Apple, Honey Pear Cider, Hot Buttered Rum and Cranberry Pumpkin. (Yes, I have a bit of a stockpile)

@LIG1 Those scents sound yummy! Are they all by Cheerful Giver?

@CANDLEQUEEN@@ You described my part of Wisconsin perfectly (Fox Valley area). Saturday will reach 85, but we open windows at night and things cool down. Time to set out those mums and pumpkins.

Yes, all Cheerful Giver scents!
