I heart Candles.

Since Hurricane Lee has sent so much rain our way it has gotten COLD! We were stuck in the house for most of the day yesterday, but I finally had enough and decided my family would brave the rain and go out...to the mall.

In case you dont know, I am obsessed with Gap's amazing sales they have all the time. I wont annoy you with all the details now, but I have gotten Ryder a pair of $34 jeans for $4, and socks for him and Lucy for 50 cents. Anyway, I had gotten an email from them about a 40% off baby gap sale. I had to go. Turned out not to be anything great. But while I was in the ghost town that is University Mall I wanted to hop down to Bath & Body Works and check out their candle selection.

Sweet Lord. It was just what I expected. Candle Heaven. I like 3 brands of candles. B&BW has their Slatkin & Co. brand. Then their is Tyler. Anna Kate and Company is the only place in town that carries them I think. We used to carry them @ Bama Bean (the coffee shop that I worked at, and pretty much my most favorite job of my life). Really I think Tyler is my fav. Just thinking about them makes me want to go to Anna Kate and Co and smell every last one. And the last candle love I have is Voluspa. These are sold at Anthropologie. Oh, heaven.

So, back to the mall. Bath and Body Works was having a sale on their big candles. 2 for $20. I took one look at George (who is just as much a candle lover as I am) and he gave me the go ahead to pick two out. WHOOP! We smelled every single scent in that entire store. So did Ryder. He loves candle shopping. I did have to get on to him 5,000 times for trying to pick up the candles. So, these are the ones that came home with us. 

Spiced Cider. 

 and Salty Caramel.

 

There were also three mini candles that we got too. Leaves (George picked that one out), Chocolate Mint and Apple Crumble.

We always buy candles in the fall, and since the rain has got me putting socks, jackets and pants on my kids, I decided it was time.

I always lean toward ones that smell like food. What are your favorite scents?

I am wanting to hold fall back for just a little while. My family is headed to the beach this friday, so I want just a little bit of summer to remain. I have gotten Lucy's box of winter clothes down, but I WILL NOT put them in her closet until we get home from the beach. I hate that we are going so late in the summer. But we got the fall price on our condo, so ya know, we like saving money :) Also, I think this was the only time George could get off work.

Oh, and I didnt forget about Vintage Tuesday! I have some goodies to share in a second post later today :)
