Yankee Candle

This afternoon Jason & I decided to wander off to Williamsburg and visit the famed outlet mall. After browsing through overcrowded stores, we went off down the road to find dinner and ate at a restaurant next to a Yankee Candle store. Except for it wasn't just any Yankee Candle store...it was HUGE!! It had rooms upon rooms of every candle scent they have probably ever made. There was an amazing Christmas room, a candy store, a toy store, a fudge shop, a garden room, and a large atrium/cafe area with a fountain in the middle. Jason was lucky I got out of the store with only one candle!! I could have stayed there for hours and just smelled the variety of fruits/trees/flowers/spices/linens.

On the way home, I decided that my favorite sense is scent. I love smells (good ones of course!) Somehow we wound up in a conversation about some of our favorites of each sense. Since people often believe Heaven will contain sights we can't imagine, I wonder if there will be scents we can't imagine. Hmmm...deep thoughts from Stephanie!!


These pictures are from a Yankee Candle website, so I have no clue who these people are.
