ok, so most of you know about my pillow problem, i always have too many and am always obsessed with seeking out new ones, unique shapes, patterns etc. i also have a bit of a candle problem. i really don't have alot of candle holders, but i do need them burning every night. their light comforts me, makes me feel at home and since we currently don't have a fireplace or a wood stove, it's my fire of sorts. whether it's primeval or very cave woman of me, i'm not sure, but i really sort of panic when i run out of candles. which i was last night, out of them that is.

so i thought i'd go in search of some unique sources for housing those delights that are candles and fire. i certainly found some intriguing ideas for placing your candles and holders in your favorite spaces. are you a candle person? tealights or votives? candelabras or small glass globes for your candles? well, i'll be sure to light a candle for you all tonight send out great warm vibes of how they make me feel. enjoy!
