Question for candle/tart users

[Beth E. (NJ)]

Hi gang!

I was in the Yankee Candle store today being tempted to buy all sorts of stuff. I burn the large jar candles and I also have some votives and some tarts.

I was wondering if you like candles etc. how much of the "stuff" do you have? For example: do you buy the candle toppers that they sell? What about the tart warmers? Do you have more than one? What about the plates they sell to put under the candles? Do you in for those too?

I bought a candle topper today because I thought is was cute. I also got a votive holder with butterflys on it. It has a wire looping over the top with another butterfly.

What do you have?

I only have two tart burners.

I put all my money into the tarts!

I must have at least 50 of them, divided into three gallon ziplock bags, one for "floral and misc. scents" one for "christmas scents" and one for "food/fruity scents."

I keep them in lunch size baggies within the gallon ziplock, with the scent written in black magic marker.

I have 6 tart burners............2 springy/flowery ones, 2 plain ones, a Halloween one and a Christmas one.

I have 4 votive holders.............lighthouse, 2 flower ones and a fall one.

I have 4 large jar lampshades.........harvest one, Christmas one, sping/flower and scattered Mickey.

I think that's it....but I might have forgotten something

I keep my tarts and votives in plastic shoeboxes.........currently have 4 filled.

I work in a store that sells Yankee candles, so I have alot of stuff. I buy a few toppers and sometimes a shade. I have many votive holders and also several tealight holders. I have a few tart warmers, but I have only been using one for the last several months. I don't use the plates for underneath the jar candles; I have just never bought one. I have lots of candles stashed everywhere, so it would take a while to use them. I just pick a few up about one a week or so. I don't burn them every day. It's usually about 3 or 4 times a week, but when I do burn them, I usually have 2 or 3 different ones burning in different rooms.

I have several candle toppers. I have a lighthouse topper, I have one that is a white wicker basket with pink roses, I have one that looks "beachy" with a seashell, pearl, "sand", starfish, etc, and I have a brass jar candle holder that holds the big jar candles a couple of inches off the table. I use this on my kitchen table, and I use one of the toppers above, according to the season of the year. I use the beachy one in the summer, the rose one in the spring, and I use the lighthouse one in the fall. I really could use MORE toppers

I don't have any plates yet, but I did see a pretty plate with matching ceramic shade in the latest Yankee Candle catalog.

I have a tart warmer but I don't use it very often because I don't like how they tarts lose their scent relatively quickly.

I have several pretty crystal votive holders, too.

I have candles in every room of my house except for DSs' bedrooms.
