Always good to hear recommendations! I've become a goosie with Goose Creek Candles,and can't say enough about them as well. Made in the USA - strong and wonderful scents. So glad to always hear about products that are made in our country!

A word of advice on burning candles. Even the very best candles will deposit soot on your walls, furniture, window treatments and your lungs. I used to light good quality candles every evening. When we were packing up to move I couldn't believe how dirty the walls and window treatments were. It was obvious where something had been hanging on a wall because that area was clean while the wall around it was dirty. Same with the Duette window treatments. It was disgusting.

Even more important, keep your eyes on the candles. Our house almost caught fire one Christmas Eve when a candle burned through the glass container and the wooden cabinet it was sitting on caught fire. There were flames by the time we realized there was a problem. Place your candles on a fire proof surface.

I rarely burn candles now even though it is something I really enjoyed.

I;m so sorry you had to go through that...I also know someone that happened to...it burned up her coffee table and almost her home...

I always burn my candles on top of my stove, so most of the soot will go up into the exhaust fan... I also use a metal candle topper to keep the soot down...

I never burn my candles for more than two hours at a time to keep it safer...and not on a daily basis..

I like burning candles, but I mostly use a wax warmer for safety purposes , less soot ... and I can still get the scent throughout my home...

Thanks so much for the reminder to fire safety while burning candles... It's always good to pass the word...

Hope you have a great Thanksgiving and a Happy Holiday season... and continue to be safe.!

Can't see anything that OP put out here. I want to find a store that sells Thymes. One year QVC had the fraiser fir scent which was fabulous.

@AuntG Unless @goldensrbest knows of another vendor, look for Thymes on Amazon - that's where I've been purchasing mine.

I love love love candles!!! I burn them all of the time, however I do use Tarts, or melts as some call them equally as much(less soot)- but same great scent.

For candles my favorites are:

Pure Integrity

Homeworx

Bath and Body

Crossroads

1805 Candles

For Tarts I love:

Cuyahoga

Front Porch

Nene's Kitchen Melts

Scentsationals(walmart)

I find when I burn candles, I only burn them for about 3 hours at a time, otherwise the glass can become way too hot......Also keeping the wicks trimmed will help with soot....This time of year, there is nothing better than Candlelight with the Christmas tree lights and all of the holiday decor..... I also use Flameless Candles a lot as well-I just love Candles!!!!!!
