A few days ago, we had someone coming for a second showing, which always gets my hopes up a little bit. But I feel a little better because I don't think the lack of offers is a result of anything I have neglected to do. This time, I even set out to deliciously scent my entire house. Here's how I did it:
- 1 lime, cut in half
- Juice from the above lime
- 1 cup water
- 3 mint leaves
- 1 tsp vanilla
Combine all these ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer for as long as you want! Replenish the water as it gets low.
I simmered mine for about 2 hours before I felt compelled to clean up the kitchen. We left for the evening and returned about 4.5 hours after I had stopped the simmer. The house still smelled lovely and fresh!

Thanks for the tips. I love good smells and it's nicer to not get them from a spray bottle.
