The Power of the Yakee Candle

Yesterday I switched the house over from my summer decor to my fall favorites. What this really involves is putting away the summer time candles, fake flowers, sea shells, wreaths, etc. and bringing out the fall versions of these same items.

I enjoy the transition from summer to fall because that means I can bring out my favorite Yankee candle - Harvest. Each season I put a new Yankee candle on the window sill above my sink and then spend too much time trying to decorate the area around the candle. This is probably some sort of affliction I picked up from reading too many Pottery Barn catalogues. I probably spend 20 - 30 minutes trying to decide what to do with this tiny area. (Yes, I have issues.)

After a few lack-luster combinations I found a look I liked. As always, I love the candle. I think it is the best Yankee Candle out there! So here is a picture of the candle with my accompanying decorations.


How peaceful...(but would you think it took so long to
throw this together!)


The candle helps me forget about the mess below!

That's exactly what my house is missing, some fall aromas. Maybe I'll pick one up while I'm out today. They should pay you for the advertisement!

It's good to be Jackie Snow's friend! Today she surprised me with a Harvest scented Yankee Candle. I must say, I think this is my favorite candle ever! Thanks Jackie!
