Guess that Coffee Table

The proof is in the pudding, people. Do I want this $600 full-price Pottery Barn coffee table on top of a metal stand or my exact replica junk store buy for $60 WITH some HISTORY thrown in? Not a very hard decision. I can do without the legs on the coffee table for a $540 in total savings. I cannot tell all of you how validated this made me feel. You never know what you'll find at those antique stores around your town. It's a great fall weekend to get out and look around. Now that I've saved you from deciding how to spend your time, have a great one!

Candle Wicks

Candles burn brighter and cleaner if the wicks are trimmed before EVERY burn. Cut them down to about 1/4" thick. It takes a few minutes to get the flame stronger, but they smell better, last longer, and there's no smoke! You'll be amazed at the difference. I know I was! You learn something new everyday. 

Cracker Craving

THE best entertaining crackers. That is all. 

The Perfect Vanilla Coffee

I love vanilla flavored coffee SO very much. Still, some vanilla coffee blends are too much for me to handle. I want the taste of vanilla, but not so much that I feel like I'm drinking a bottle of extract. An equal blend of Folgers Classic Roast and Dunkin' Donuts French Vanilla makes the perfect combination for my morning pick me up. For my four cups (really two regular coffee cups full) I use two tablespoons of each. I love the balance of this mix. It's not too strong nor is it too weak. I use a regular coffee maker and often, my french press, too. More blogs about coffee below.

The Best $1.00 Candle

HERE

I see that one of my favorite Dollar Tree items has become so popular it has been placed on backorder. Just when I wanted to order a box of these for my Halloween decor, they're gone! I love these large pillar candles. 8" glass jar for $1.00? Come on! You have to order a minimum of 12, which is only $12.00, so I say, for twelve candles, TOO worth it. These are GREAT inside of canisters. If you're patient enough, you'll get on the waiting wagon like me, or at least keep them in mind for future occasions! Have a great week!
