Good morning and happy Friday everyone!
I just got my new candle order in this morning. I'm really pleased that this year the fall scents are available in tart bars. I ordered my two favorites and am trying out a new scent called 'coverlet'. I think it smells kinda like after-shave but I'll wait to see what others think.🤷🏼
