All Hail Pier 1
I am in candle heaven right now......
And it's not my fault. Really. Pier 1 sent me an email yesterday announcing they brought back some of the "old favorite" scents.
What? Could it be!?!?!? Yes.....One of my favorite candles of all times is back on the shelf. Tuscan Herb. They say it's supposed to smell like an "Italian Kitchen". It doesn't.....but it does smell like home.....
So today I hustled my hiney right over to that store. At first I was crest fallen because I couldn't find a shopping basket. How on EARTH did they expect me to shop for candles without a basket? Was I limited to only what I could carry?!?!
As I was trying to figure out just where I could stick candles (forget I said that!) how I would carry the candles a young gentleman brought me a basket. I guess my panic was evident.
As I rake the scented beauties off the shelf something caught my eye. I know that color, but I haven't seen it in....forever. I walk over to another shelf, and GLORY BE!!! there is my favorite scent of all times for ever and ever amen. First Rain. And they hadn't even announced THAT one was back.
Holy Crap. I bought me some candles. And Paradise is starting to smell like.....home. THAT'S what's been missing. (Well, that and furniture) Yes, I needed the right scents.
Ahhhh the glories of nesting. THAT was a VERY good shopping day.....

Maybe he's seen the picture of you holding your 'unhealthy addiction to candles' sign and knew he'd better get you a basket! :)
