yumminess

i was just taking inventory on my candles. back when i lived in Connecticut, now would be the time Dad & i would make our seasonal trek to the flagship store in Deerfield to stock up on candles for the coming season. i have my typical Spring Yankee Candle scents:
Clean Cotton.
Lilac Blossoms.
and (sadly) my last remaining votives of the now discontinued Lavender Fields and Spring Showers.
seems all my favorite Spring scents have slowly disappeared. Storm Watch. Mountain Lake. Morning Mist. all tucked into the archives. =(

i have a hard time finding scents i like for Spring. i like clean fresh scents and of course vanilla (that's a year round staple here in the land of Dawn and the fruity scents get their turn in Summer.) but i don't like anything too flowery. really powerful floral scents give me a headache. since i am down to exactly seven votives for Spring, which is not enough for a full season, i guess it's time to hit up my local store to go candle smelling -- it's been a while since i needed new Spring scents & there are only a few i am really familiar with enough that i would buy without sniffing first. so i popped over to the website to see what's there & now i've got my eye on the following "standard scents" (translation: those that are available all the time):
Spring Bouquet (which is boasts orange blossoms -- *love* orange blossoms! -- among other flowers but i am thinking this one may be a bit *too* floral for my nose.)
Midnight Cove.
Shortbread Cookie.
Lemon Lavender.
Cottage Breeze.
Country Linen.

they also just happened to have their special limited edition Spring scents up on the site & i do believe i will need to check out:
Water Garden

and Berry Jam (though if this one makes the cut, it will be tucked aside for Summer, but it sounds way too yummy to pass up)


i may not get four distinct seasons, living in Florida, but at least i can make the seasons change inside my home. =)
