Talking CANDLES...Am I the Only One Who Loves Them ???
I am obsessed with candles and thought this would make a good place to show your flames...

Please don't set the page ablaze!!!







Nothing lights up the cold depressing nights of winter like a candle does...





...and they make things more cheerful & interesting also...





I love them in summer as well...





If you love candles too, and want to share a shot, feel free...





I got this 2 in 1 Glade scented candle with 2 layers. It's called "Creamy Custard & Blushing Apple" and it smells up a room wonderfully...





Candleholder shots are welcome too...

We burn a lot of white tapers and tea lights here. A few other essential oil candles too. I'll get some pics.

I was gonna say...I'd love to see some candle shots with that camera of yours!


I find candles make excellent subjects for photos. They're just so bright and beautiful.


Excited to see your peeks too, Mitchel. I know they'll put mine to shame!

My favorite use of candles is lighting bonfires to burn pagans at the stake.

I like tealites too, Mitchel. I use them in this favorite mosaic globe lantern sometimes, and votives also...

Wink Re: CANDLES...Am I the Only One Who Loves Them ???
No rush & no problem, Mitchel. I'll be looking forward to seeing them...


I just like to post shots of my new candles I light. This is another 2 in 1 Glade layer candle I've got burning this morning. It's a dreary overcast day today in London and candles cheer me.


This one's called "Fresh Berries & Wild Raspberry"...





So fragrant...my whole bedroom smells like berries!!!

Me too!


This three-wick candle is especially aromatic...





It's a Cranberry Glade soy-based jar candle.

Joy Re: CANDLES...Am I the Only One Who Loves Them ???
I am amazed at this candle!





It's the cranberry glade and my whole apartment smells like it. It's been burning since this afternoon...it's one cool candle with great fragrance!


When my girlfriends showed up they both commented on the smell of it throughout my place. I'm going to get the velvet vanilla one next...

Talking Re: CANDLES...Am I the Only One Who Loves Them ???
Another great one is this Airwick Winter edition candle called "Vanilla & Soft Velvet". It's very warm and inviting...








After burning awhile, it's extremely aromatic as well...

Picked this one up today...





It's another scented Glade called "Island Bliss" and it's really getting nice now after burning it for an hour.

Very cool. I was into making them myself at one point. Looks like you've got some neat moulds there.


Thanks for sharing.

HBL, you know all that Fabreeze and Glade crap is toxic right?

Exclamation Re: CANDLES...Am I the Only One Who Loves Them ???
Even the candles?! How so?


I don't buy sprays but I do enjoy the candles. Do tell though...


Is this why no one's hardly posted in my candle thread?

Cyclodextrin in Fabreeze candles. I'm sure there is something just as gross in Glade.

We only burn unscented or essential oil scented but I don't even care for those. I'm not a fan of perfume either. My wife has an essential oil infuser and it drives me nuts even though the oil she uses is very expensive and natural. Yuk!
