I have purchased from here several times. My first purchase was last year. I keep going back! She adds new scents all the time. There is a line of soy candles, there are tarts and other candles. I have bought a lot of tarts and love them!!!! She also sells on eBay. I like that she is only about 45 miles from me so shipping time is not very long.

Wow. Today I received my order and everything is great. I ordered several different scents and they are great. As soon as I opened the package I knew it was going to be good, it smelled wonderful thru the box. I ordered all tarts in fruity scents and they are very strong, great throws and very cute packing.
Can't wait to order more

Many scents to choose from, extra large tarts, appealing looking jars

Received my order in 2 weeks time(not bad) and I was so surprised that the candles look "exactly" like they do on the web site! You know that is a rarity-usually nothing looks like it does in a picture. Even though the candles look beautiful, the throw is weaker than the tarts. I know this is true for many candle companies, but I like my candles to really throw! On the other hand, when I saw my tarts all I could say was WOW!!! These babies are big!!! I needed to cut them in half so my tart warmers didn't overflow. So actually, I got more for my money!
The scents I received in tarts were: PINK FLAMINGO (sweet cherry), BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE(MMMMMMM! Very delicious and a great throw!), CINNAMON DONUTS, PISTASCHIO ICE CREAM, & COFFEE CAKE AND SPICE(SOOO GREAT! Very cinnamony!)
As for the jar candles, I received:
CINNAMON BUN/CINNAMON DONUTS GRUBBY JAR: ($15.00 for a 28oz.) So far I have only burned through the cinnamon bun and it smells great. A little light on the throw, but burns clean-right down the sides and no problems with the wick.
APPLE TORTA IN ENAMALWARE CUP:($12.99 for a 25 oz.) Adorable cup with a vintage label. Packed to the brim with fluffy wax and embeds with glaze. Beautiful! The throw was a very weak, which is sad cause the candle smells SOOO GOOD cold. Need to try this in tarts!
All in all, I like this company. I thought their tarts are great-my only problems lie with personal choice of fragrance. Even though the candles have a weaker throw, they burn nicely, they are BEAUTIFUL and they are at an unbelievable price!! I would love to try more of their other fragrances since they have so many!!!
UPDATE 12/28/06***This time I ordered them from e-bay. Ordered several bags of the almost edible tarts and boy are they delicious looking!!! So far the scents are great and have a wonderful throw! Ordered COFFEE CAKE AND SPICE (A+), BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE (A++), BAKLAVA, PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE & CINNAMON FRENCH TOAST(WOW-WOW-WOW!! Authentic!!). I don't think I can express the wonderful scent throw from these tarts but the only drawback is that they are so beautiful that I don't want to burn them!!!! UPDATE 2/20/07 ~ Ordered again!!! Received more CINNAMON FRENCH TOAST (Love it!), RED VELVET CAKE (realistic cake scent, very sweet!), COUNTRY KITCHEN (Great combo of kitchen spices!) and SUGAR & SPICE (not sure of this one?) I am really very happy with my order- really delicious scents and I got 1 pound of tarts for $6.99- great deal!!

I wish the tart line was as extensive on the website as I am not a big ebay fan.

I found these on ebay over the holidays, even in the Christmas rush I got my order in a timely manner. Though upon seeing them I would have gladly waited longer. I order cookie shaped tarts in sugar cookie cold they have an amazing throw, so realistic, I can't speak of the hot throw for these as I can't bring myself to burn them. I also ordered Pink lemonade, let me tell you this scent blew me away, I put it in the burner in my kitchen which is very small but I could smell it clear upstairs in my boys room. I also ordered serendipity cold this is a very strong scent I can't really say if it is the same burning as the pink lemonade over powered it. I bought so many tarts over the holidays that I haven't gotten back to this one yet. Then there were the twinkies. My son thought they were little cakes when I opened the box, he felt jipped when he realized he could not eat them. They smell amazing cold, but they are on my list of reluctant to burn because they are so nice. I also ordered what is my favorite scent from this company and the one that will bring me back time and again that is Doodle bug, the little green cupcakes were so adorable with their jelly beans and lady bugs on them. I was in love. The scent though over powered my desire to hold onto the attractive tarts I was not disappointed when I burned them it was another scent I could smell clear up into my boys rooms. Luckily they like it too. The only down side to this company that I saw was that her business is done primarily through ebay and thanks to a bad sale, I don't use ebay anymore. I wish that her tart line was as extensive on the website.
I just wanted to update, I got to melt one of the Twinkie tarts this weekend, after a bad experiance with another candle company, and it was amazing it quickly overpowered the other scent and filled my living room with the wonderful smell of Twinkies. My son again wanted to eat them.
I also got to melt another of the serendipity and I love this scent, my husband liked even though it had a coconutty smell. Which is odd as that is my one no no in melting tarts he cant stand the smell of coconut.
I am going to order some of her tart cubes today that is a way I can try several smells for 2.25 rather then committing to a whole bag, though I havent gotten any from this company yet that I haven't liked.

Very nice company. The scents I ordered were Butter Cookie, Pumpkin Crunch Cake & Granny's Spicy Apple Cake & a very generous sized tart in Country Bumpkin was included. They are all good, but 2 of them I really like: Granny's Spiced Apple Cake (I can't pick out the apple), but I smell a rich cake-dough type which is delicious. The other is Country Bumpkin, which is very similar to a scent elsewhere named Country Store...very inviting; tangy/spicy. The Pumpkin Crunch Cake is more of a pumpkin pie type scent, really was expecting something different, but I will enjoy it. The Butter Cookie is a perfect duplicate of the original. I like to melt opposite ends of the spectrum in my home...a sweet scent at one end & a spicy/tart type at the other end. The only drawback was that my order arrived short 2 votives, but the company responded right away & is quickly correcting it. To me that's a sign of a good company. If you're curious, I would say give them a try...I don't think you will be disappointed.
