With the changing of each season, I change our home in various little ways. One way that I start out each season is by changing the sent of our home.
I love candles.
I love how warm and inviting they make my home feel.
I love the soothing scents that they bring.
I began to appreciate candles during the last year when Keith was away and I just needed a moment to take a breath and relax. Breathing in a fresh scent from a candle lit on my counter helped to relieve stress and give me a fresh outlook if just for a small moment.
My favorite types of scented candles seem to be food related in some kind of way. For the Christmas season, I like the smell of peppermint, for spring I like the smell of strawberries and cupcakes, for summer I like melons and citrus scents, but my favorite scents come from the Fall season.
I love the smells that autumn brings.
The scent of fresh picked apples, of cinnamon, and of spices.
The scent that I have been drawn to more than any other this fall season comes from my new Vanilla Pumpkin Yankee Candle. I have lit it every single day for at least the last week.
I have it burning as I clean and work in the kitchen and it is getting me and my home ready for the fall season.
This fall I am beginning the seasonal change in our home with the lighting of a new, favorite candle. How are you preparing your home for autumn and all of the changes it brings with it?

I too am a candle fan I just pulled out the apple cranberry ones that I got for Christmas last year.

I love candles too but Hubby hates them. I hadn’t thought of just burning them when I am home during the day to enjoy them before he gets home! I always try to save them for a special occasion and they get all melty and nasty before I ever use them!

I love candles too! They just set the tone, don’t they? I wrote about them in my post today also. We have very similar taste in scents. I don’t care for strong florals but love all the fall scents, the cinnamon or peppermint at Christmas, and fruits and other fresh clean scents for the spring/summer. After thinking about it last night while writing my post and then reading yours, I really want to run out and get my new fall stash of candles now, LOL.

I just love scented candles this time of year but prefer one without paraffin or chemicals. I decorate my entire home and porches with them to really set the mood for fall and upcoming holidays.

sounds like it would be lovely!!!! pumpkin and vanilla would be a great combo!
I also love burning candles, particularly in the Fall. They just make me feel cozy and happy. My favorite is Slatkin and C0′s Pumpkin Patch (from Bath & Body Works). The scent is so amazing, and I never get tired of it! I bought 5 of them right after they came out this Fall! The Yankee Candle scent you mentioned sounds amazing too!

Hmm…I have a good Yankee Candle coupon that I might have to put to use and get Vanilla Pumpkin on your recommendation!
I love candles. Especially apple, pumpkin, vanilla, cinnamon type candles. It smells like something baking in the oven.
And they’re so pretty throughout the house.
Thanks for sharing today!

I love candles. And I’d burn them all the time if I could, but I just can’t afford to buy them. It’s gay that they’re so expensive.

That sounds delicious. I love anything that has a hint of vanilla in it.
