I found a little auburn soapstone oil warmer this afternoon for a few dollars. It looks nice on the square stone plate Mom gave me for my birthday. Right now the house smells subtly of The Red Queen, all cherries and wood. I like it.

Unable to resist, I ordered some more things from BPAL this morning. this is me, admitting I have a problem. I obsessively amass soap, scents and bubble bath. I am making more of an effort to use them liberally and not hoard though. Books and soap would be my two biggest luxury expenses.

(the internet is not a luxury for us. hah.)

This month's issue of Harper's magazine is especially fascinating. A weird range of articles, but neat stuff.

Oooh, something else we can do with our scents when they arrive. *Googles "oil warmer"*

They are also called wax burners, and a couple other names I forget. It looks like a shallow bowl resting on top of a gumdrop shaped base about six inches tall. It has a space to put in the tea light, and then you can put wax, or water & oil, or wax & oil in the top bowl to melt. They are pretty handy, and I saw tons of fancy sparkly ones on ebay. I could not resist the impulse when I saw this one in the store.
