My Love Affair with Candles



I love candles. I guess I have a pretty sensitive nose - or else my husband just can't smell anything. My favorite kind of candles are ones that remind me of fall. My favorite candle smell has always been Yankee Candle Spiced Pumpkin, but really anything with cinnamon, autumn, even Christmas candles make me happy.



Last year, I tried the famous Circle E Candles out of Fredericksburg, Texas. While I felt the smell was nicely distributed throughout the room and the candle had a even burn to it, I just couldn't latch on to any of the actual smells.



Then, I came across Pickwick. Pickwick is a Kansas City company. I think the candles are only sold at David Gregory in Fairway, Kansas, but I could be wrong. Anyhow, every single candle I smelled, I loved. Even smells I would normally not be attracted to smelled so good in the Pickwick line. An added bonus is their packaging. They are clean (no cheese included) and even make a nice gift for a guy (like my brother who finally moved out on his own - yeah Brian!) These candles are a little pricey, in my opinion. They only cost $22 but it's not that big of a candle. I find myself not caring, though, because the smell is SO good! If you are in KC or shopping online, check out Pickwick Candles.
