your husband has put two duck decoys in your pool!  After three weeks, they are still in there, and quite a conversation starter, LOL.  Did you know that they can also be used as a floatation device???  It's redneck, but true!

I'm a yankee, who married a redneck, what can I say!

Yankee candles were as high-end as it gets for candles.  I only get 1 or 2 a year because I think they are expensive, unless I have a coupon.  Guess that's what makes 'em low end on the high-end scale of candles, coupons?

I buy what I like the smell of first and the look of the candle second.  I could care less about the name printed on them.  As for the $325 candle, there'd better be $300 bills waiting for me when the wax melts.

If your husband nails a wooden duck and wooden dog that your children painted to your back door (underneath the wooden back-to-back swans painted black that his mother made for you.....

(yep, my back door) haha!  - anyone else have a redneck family member(s)? Did anyone marry a redneck they didn't realize was one beforehand?

I spent 22 bucks on an Autumn Wreath Houswarmer Yankee candle the other day...and for that price I expected knock-me-down scent for days.  Well I lit it and put it in my upstairs bathroom and it spelled pretty good.  Then the next day when i lit it I noticed it didn't seem quite as strong.  Well today I lit it and i can barely smell it though it's been lit for hours.  I have kept the lid on it when not in use.  What a waste of  money!

I used to buy my candles from an online candle company called Two Blue Candle Co but she went out of busiess and obviously Yankee isn't doing it for me.  Anybody got any suggestions on how to get my candle "stink" fix?

I was actually able to take the used candle back to the store and exchange it.  I ended up getting a biscotti Wood Wick (Virginia Candle Co) candle that smells wunnnderful..i haven't lit it yet...but I did get a few of the Yankee tarts... Right now I have the fresh cut roses one melting and it smells pretty good!

Somebody also told me Circle E candles are great...anybody tried them?

Thanks for all of your suggestions

Hey...I know we have discussed candles on here before and I just thought I would share a Yankee Candles coupon link I have.  They have their annual clearance going on and you can get 2 for one on most candles!!  The link below is $10 off a $25 order.  I have placed 3 orders so far! 

(((PS--the code changes frequently.  Refresh the page or come back a different day to redeem new codes))))

I ordered a box of new spring scents (tarts) and I have to say Velvet Petals is my new all time favorite, with Midnight Jasmine running a close second. 

What's your favorite?
