A better potpourri - warming pot

While cleaning our kitchen the other day I found several objects that were new to me.  One of them was my wife's Warming Potpourri pot.

The idea is simple.  It is two pieces. The bottom bowl is for the candle.  It has air vents.  The top bowl is for water and the scents.

In the picture I am using water, cinnamon sticks, cloves and a few dashes of cardamon.

Light the candle and allow the water to warm up gently and slowly steam the nice odors around the room.  All natural, potentially organic, and cheap.

I have other ideas for scents and I have been exploring stores in the Seattle area that may carry stuff that I am looking for.  I am leaning towards cooking spices and teas, just so I won't have a drawer full of things that have only one use.

Marketspice in the Pike Place Market will be my next step.
