    Default Yankee Candles

    I heard on the news this morning that Yankee Candles has been sold. I hope that it doesn't change. I love all things Yankee Candles.

    I worry that the jobs will be leaving the state of Massachusetts-hopefully not.
    I love Yankee candles as well.

    I love Yankee Candles, too. I just got two "Chocolate Chip Cookies" on sale at the Hallmark store. Do any of you know of any strongly scented candles that are cheaper?

    You may try Empire Candles. They have a warehouse here in Kansas City KS. I love when they have a dock sale. I can get the 22oz candles for $4. They are really good scented and they have pretty glass holders.

    I Yankee Candles. Mom and I have certainly done our part to increase their coffers! Seriously, I hope they don't mess with the candles. I like them just as they are now.

    Yankees are my favorites but I don't mind Dreamers brand either. They are as heavily scented as Yankee and about the same price.
