Candy, thanks. I remember your beautiful tea pots you've shared. I never cared for coffee much till the lattes came out and I love them. Just got a gift certificate for Valentines Day. We had training yesterday from 10-5 so I had to rush in and try to catch up this morning. Our new computers are not working right so they have been a nightmare. We are getting some snow every day but it warms up enough to melt some so at least it's not adding up. Jeanne, thanks for your comment on the mirror. The brown part of it doen't show in the pictures but it's better than nothing. I haven't given up on finding some sort of top for that buffet. If I ever decide to put my bakers rack on the deck I will try to remember to add that frog. Jane, thanks for the comment on my single plates in the china cab. Wasn't sure it would look good w/o layering but I like it for a change too. Nana, thanks, I'm so ready for Spring too. This winter has been a nice one but I'm ready to spend more time outdoors. I find most of my tea pots at ys and they are so cheap. So happy I brightened your day. You've done that for me too! OA, laughed so hard about all your coats of paint on the wooden candlesticks. I never think I have time to paint them but should see if I can talk DH into doing that for me. Great idea. Most of mine come from Ross or TJ Maxx. Thanks for your comments. It's wonderful to have you back sharing with us. Punk

Yes, you can use the tealights in the votive holders. Tea lights also look lovely when used in stemware, like wine glasses. You can even use them just as they are on any heat-resistant surface since they are in their own "containers", so to speak. As for the fragrance, I use any fragrance anywhere. Some I tend to use more in the kitchen, like Apple Pie, but I do use scents like that in the living room, too. It is just a matter of personal preference. To me, the fragrance you describe would be a nice summer fragrance for the living room or bedroom. As I said, it is just a matter of where you want to smell it! :) Susan

Hoosier Beauty, which came three years later, is the one that I hope is someday rediscovered or reintroduced.
