I love to use candles. Not so much for decorating, but to keep the smells inside the house fresh and smelling good.
Most of the candles you buy these days either smell too much like wax or don't have much of a scent.
Which one do you use that keeps its smell going throughout the house? What smell do you prefer.

I like vanilla too Shelly. Heck, we have them going all through the year.

Yum - coffee scent. I live in the desert (kinda) too. I most of all love the windows open with the breeze blowing through - when there is one. Since the sand blows and it gets so hot, having the house closed up so much leaves it musty smelling, that's why I like burning candles, but there's nothing like fresh air - even if it is hot.

Hi terrilee,
I enjoy Partlite candles, especially lavender. It is so relaxing. For the kitchen I like country apple, or a coffee scented candle. Awesome!!
Other candles I have used and enjoyed are made by Yankee. Very nice scents and a very large assortment available. Mulberry is very nice also.
In the winter I use more candles than any other time. The house being more closed up and all. I usually collect candles from different places during my travels in the summer for use in the winter.
There is a Bavarian town about 1 1/2 hrs. from here that I love to buy candles from. Beeswax and hand dipped tapers are very nice and well scented. They have a large variety as well.
Have a nice day..

There's that partylite candle again. I'm gonna have to look these up. I love Yankee candles, but they are soooo expensive - at least where I live. The only place I can get there here is at the flower shop.
