I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas....Before we bring in the new year I thought I would share some of the lovely presents I received this year... The tree in the photo above is at my parents house where I spent christmas day. Christmas Pudding was enjoyed, memories shared and......lots of fun was had by all!
Yankee candles - These candles are enjoyed by all in our family, my mum loves them, knows I love them and we even buy my Grandma and my Dad them!! So naturally this year we all got a collection! The candles above are my collection... containing White Chocolate Mint, Silver bells, Egg Nog,Mulled Wine,Red Apple Wreath and Vanilla Cupcake! I also got a large Christmas cookie Jar candle!! Yum, Yum scents.... Do you love Yankee Candles, what are your favourites?
I also received some Yankee Candle - Cranberry Peppermint Potpourri !! It smells so sweet yet fresh, I havnt used it yet, but I will! I have never had the potpourri before...

Snowman Pendant..... I love this and have been wearing it all christmas! It was my 30th Birthday on the 10th and I will remember it fondly, this was my special gift from my parents, isn't he just the cutest??
And finally I would also like to share my favourite bath scent, Philosophy Pure Grace, Have you tried it? Such a clean scent, not an annoying fragrance....just clean, beautiful

P.S. look forward to seeing the cushions you make.
I also love Yankee Candles...I think you can not beat the smell. Looks like you had a wonderful Christmas. Dianntha
I adore Yankee too...my hubby put some votives in my stocking!
I love Autumn Wreath and Pumpkin Spice..they are my 2 faves but there are so many new fragrances...I had no idea they had an egg nog!!
Priscilla!
Thank you for stopping by my blog and so pleased I've come by for a visit to your cottage... what a lot we have to talk about!!
My mum and I LOVE LOVE Yankee Candles... they take over our home!!!
We had a couple of baby showers recently & used the baby powder one... Halloween we had the pumpkin ones... my faves are the cinnamon and cider donut at this time of year although at the moment egg nog is burning.... in the summer i favour citrus smells.
As i'm limited to my choice of smell in my bedroom i prefer the small jars or the tart burners... more cost effective and better for smaller spaces and you can try out various smells cheaply.
Your snowman pendant is fabulous and a brilliant keepsake.
I was lucky enough to receive the Soda Fountain Philosopy giftset for xmas.

Ohhhh I LOVE Yankee candles! I think my all time favorites are both retired now - Blueberry and Gardenia, but I love Home Sweet Home, Sugar Cookie and Autumn Wreath too! Actually, I think I love any and all Yankee candles. We have a Yankee store in the mall out here and I could sniff candles all day in there :) Love your gingerbread too, what a wonderful Christmas you had!!
