I'm counting the days til my new tart burner and tarts get here! The new burner is really nice blue ceramic and blends in better with my decor than my current burner. I wish they made the yankee candle jars a little more "neutral" so they wouldn't clash with my interior decorating efforts! I guess you could always peel off the stickers...but that seems like a lot of work! But, I guess that's why they make the tarts and the small candles/tealights.

I'm sooo showing this thread to Colin
...lol i think he's learned to live with the candles i've put all in his house
Yea! I'm not the only one obesessed with candles!
I'll buy them at dollar stores when I find ones that I like. I don't feel so bad about burning these when I'm having a pyro moment.
For my scented candle fixes I go to either Yankee Candle or Illuminations. I don't think anyone else has mentioned it. Their site is http://www.illuminations.com/ but its not loading for me right now. I'm hoping they aren't going out of business because they just closed one of their stores near me.
My hubby LOVES their "Napa Valley" candle, and I well....love them all!!!

Ok, Miss Statistics (I know you love them!)
There was an 82% increase in fires contributed to candles since 1990. In the year 1997 (which was the most recent year I can find good statistics on) the 11,600 reported candle fires caused 156 civilian deaths, 1,202 civilian injuries, and $171.1 million in property damage. I think it's worth paying a tiny bit more on the electric bill to run the heater than it is to take the risk burning enough candles to supplement the heat given out of an actual heater.
Ovbiously, there is a risk in running a space heater... but if used properly the risk is much less.
I found most of my info here:

I LOVE PartyLite candles - thats usually all that I burn... I'm running low on them now, good thing a good friend of ours is a rep, so I can usually get them whenever I need to!
i loooove candles, especially food scents and woodsy scents. From Yankee Candle Co, I think either Midsummer Nights or the cookie one is my favorite, but it's so hard to pick! I love pumpkin spice, too.

Has anyone tried the newer "wood candles" the wick on them is wood and when you burn it, it makes a crackling sound just like an open fire! They come in a glass jar and smell fabulous!!! They're sooooo awesome!! Halmark sells them...i'm not sure who else does though.

I've smelled them in person!! They're incredable!!! I love them. My best friend and I went through Hallmark smelling the entire line- i didn't find one i didn't love lol! They all smell great! She got me one for my birthday back in July- it's awesome!!! She got me the Applewood one. I love those candles- and the cool thing about it is it sounds just like a mini fireplace in a jar because the wood wick crackles- they're really cool! The black raspberry one smells really good too
