Sometimes I feel too tired in the evening to start lighting candles but I always feel better when I do; it's an excellent way to soften harsh winter evenings.Buffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00632534063802295379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8656175568786605239.post-69109559933795745742009-01-21T22:59:00.000-08:002009-01-21T22:59:00.000-08:00A candle box--great idea!A candle box--great idea!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8656175568786605239.post-25923665909177656032009-01-20T17:06:00.000-08:002009-01-20T17:06:00.000-08:00Great tips!

Something else I do is melt the last bottom scrapings of candles that already come in their own gorgeous glass jar by sitting it in a hot water sort of 'bain marie', making it easy to lift out in one cleanish peace after a few minutes (with a bit of prising with a spoon). I then place said glass jar in the dishwasher, the hot wash of which cleans it up nicely, leaving a sparkly clean 'new' holder in which I can place another tea-light or candle.<BR/><BR/>I LOVE the scented oil on the candle stick idea. And I too love heralding in evening time by lighting candles - and fairy lights, where applicable!Sashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00894795923459013612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8656175568786605239.post-14345170368367137102009-01-19T08:57:00.000-08:002009-01-19T08:57:00.000-08:00Well you've enlightened me today.

The only thing that I'm doing right is trimming the wick...I've been known to burn a candle for way too long and I have plenty of wax messes where I shouldn't.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.com
