Candles

I love the pattern of the way this one shines

This is a wooden one from Sweden 

These 3 are Scandinavian and the chandelier below was passed  to me by my  Swedish  father in law.

These dreary grey days do make me want to light up the home with some candles.  I really am such a fan of candles no matter  what the outdoors is doing but especially in the fall and winter.  It seems to bring a warmth and a relaxation to the atmosphere around the home. Lately I have really enjoyed candles while taking  a long, hot bath. Oh there is nothing like it to let your cares fly away, and dream of lovely things and the ones you love. The flickering warm glow just helps the stress all slip away.  Wrap yourself in a thick warm robe after, go sit by the fire, drink some tea and you will soon be as warm and toasty as can be.  Put your feet up and read something wonderful and encouraging.  Now that we are empty nesters, I can do this anytime!!!  Here is a few of my candle holder, most of them from Sweden.
