@dilla_daze- Yankee Candle used to make a smoky scented candle- Fireside. Sounds like you might like it!

thank you! this is a nice collection of links, and plenty of time to scope this out before the holidays.

I live in a 900 sq.ft. house with my husband and 2 children. We rearrange all the time. In the winter we have to be careful not to block our heaters, but in the warmer months, things can be moved around. I have houseplants in the winter but everything goes outside in the summer. And with such a small house, we can live with a cozy arrangement or open it up for a more spacious feeling just by moving things around.

I line dry all the time- outdoors in summer, indoors in winter. I use a rack, hangers and a retractable line. I do have a dryer and will tumble towels and t shirts on air to soften them after drying, but it is a nicety, not a necessity. When my children were in diapers I used cloth diapers exclusively and when my dryer broke, I did not replace it for 3 years, and then only because my husband felt that I needed one- not because I did.
As far as fading I have not noticed it- but my clothes do last a lot longer because they do not have to endure the wear and tear of a dryer. And if I am in a modest mood, then my underwear goes on a drying rack, but usually I do not care. :)
