What a gorgeous collection! I get so irritated at people judging other peoples collections ( of any type). They didn’t pay for them and most aren’t on KZread as a reviewer. Not trying to be negative here but I see KZread creators feeling like they have to apologize for the amount of items but I personally love it!!! I love candles too and have more than the average person and want more! Thank you for sharing this ❤️

Thanks Stephanie. I agree. I never really care what other people have. It seems so strange to me that someone would have an opinion about what I spend my money on. I never spend money on stuff I don't have the ability to afford to buy. No money, no candles.

Melanie, I broke out in the biggest smile when you left the IKEA storage to the 3rd storage, under the bed! You have a great collection and personally I think your collection is reasonable! I am in the process of tackling my collection and know it will likely take me a couple years to get it under control as you have done with yours. Your excitement of finding the gems was priceless, I would react the same way. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your collection with us. It is a good time to take control and recognize what is on hand and what might be missing.

The word “friggen” always makes me chuckle. No matter how, where, when, why, or what it’s used for. It’s such a funny friggen word. 🤣

So fun to see your collection...I used to store my Homeworx on shelves until I ran out of room so now they are in boxes...I don't like that because I can't see what I have and miss using items at the correct season...I really need a better system so I see what I have.....They are so large that it is hard to know how to store them safely...Love your closets...Our older home doesn't have many closets to keep my addiction hidden...lol

Yayy finally get to see all your goodies ! Love your collection and I know for the past year u have been working on burning and not saving , also not buying so many backups so atleast your on top of it so who in the heck cares what anyone thinks , probably jealous they dont have so many ! I just reorganize mine , bbw , Hw but forgot to count ! It's a smaller collection but I've also got now all my Scentsy stuff , a perfume collection, skincare and makeup ! I have no idea how my place isn't bursting at the seams l ! Anyways thank u ! Loveeee seeing these videos!

I'm going to list a bunch of Praline Pecans. If you want any, just name a price if you want them before listed. I got far too many so I have to sell a bunch. I still have too many even after giving many of them as gifts. I've just been waiting for my son to help me figure out how to sell on ebay. Autumn Pinecone better come back, sans pedestal. Thankfully I grabbed some on resale sites last year so I have some for this year.

I enjoy eBay selling. It’s gotten so much easier in recent years. I love nut scents although I have not smelled that one. Do you have any extra Citrus Mojitos? I’m on a mission to get at least 1-2 since I burned the 1 I got on clearance at Ulta. 🍀

Thank you for sharing your collection! So much fun to see. I love the HW packaging and am very drawn to it. Right down to the lids. Gorgeous. 😍

What a extraordinary collection I love all those scents and wished I had them all! Mine are unorganized in the garage. I keep trying to fix them up but haven’t figured it out yet. I wish I had room to see them all. I have got to work on using my collection up as it’s way out of control! It started out fine until I started getting back ups 🤷‍♀️then I really got in trouble. Probably have 500 BBW plus a few other brands besides my homeworx. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Great series. I’m a homebody so I burn 3 diff candles a day. I have a 5 shelf book case that holds the candles I’m burning in that season and the random candles/ holders. Then I hv a 3 shelf glass cabinet that holds the holidays and backups. If there is no room on the shelf or cabinet then I don’t buy. Honestly I burn so many that I’ve never had an issue. Just finished the last golden guava ugh. So good and unique. Also was a perfect homeworx candle all the way around. Score on the 3 wick gotta Love when that happens..🤩

I know you have a beautiful hurricane and honestly, I am waiting on one that I ordered from QVC (not HW brand), but if the price is right I just might order it with a few of his new holiday candles.

Melanie, thanks for sharing your HomeWorx collection. 🤩 My favorites are fruit & Autumn. 🍁Being newer to Homeworx, I currently have 14-4 wicks & 2-3 wicks. I ordered Autumn candles earlier this month; 3-4 wicks & 2-3 wicks. (On route: I’m also at the end of Oregon Trail.)😉 In my collection, I have 3 of the 4 Fruitstand sets left that I got from QVC. 🫐🍑🍓Love that set! I enjoyed Citrus Mojito; I’d love to find a reasonably priced back up. 🤞I don’t use Mercari since it’s too pricey. I’ve had good luck 🍀 using eBay for buying some candles & selling older Yankees. I donate many candles to friends who appreciate good fragrances. I loved your reaction when you found your “lost” Autumn candle. 👏🏼 Such a fun hobby for us fragrance lovers! Thanks for sharing. 🍀

I LOVED the OG 3 wicks. I don't mind the 4 wicks but they have been evolving and changing over the years. I think most candle brands do this. But I did find the very best performance from the HomeWorx candles during their first 3 years of existence.

I try really hard to buy the ones with free shipping from qvc or sale ones that are cheap enough to offset the shipping otherwise it makes me sick to think about it! Last free ship day I made 5 orders on ones I didn’t want to pay shipping on. I’m going to be mad if the new special value has shipping added on 😠

I can't believe people ask you to send them your candles. There are plenty of places to purchase them, if you wanted to sell them you would let us know. I know that the vendor wax groups have destash groups where they can sell the wax they have, and yes it's very easy to accumulate too much of our "hobbies". I know I have too much of all of it, Scentsy, vendor wax, candles, and yes I make my own candles and wax melts as well. It's my thing, so no judgement here. Thanks for sharing your stash and good luck wittling it down!

Great video, Melanie! I’ve really enjoyed this series and seeing your current candle collections by brand. I agree with you about QVC. I only make purchases from them on Homeworx candles. And the fact that they make you buy two candles at a time has definitely made my collection explode. 🙄 The largest number of candles I have right now are from Bath & Body Works and Homeworx.
