craftiness :: pretty teacup candles

Aren't these wonderful? With very little effort you can take those pretty china cups and saucers that you have hidden away in your cupboards and never use and turn them into something functional and pretty. Check out the easy as pie directions on making these sweet teacup candles over at Design Sponge. They shouldn't take more than a few minutes to whip up and use very few ingredients. I think that these would make a great hostess gift as well as a thoughtful gift for the shabby chic lover on your list. And while you're at it, make a couple for yourself too ;) They're JUST COOL!

These cool candlesticks from Duo Design Holland are simple yet sophisticated in design. The sleek elegant stainless steel sticks work like a metal straw with a wick inside that draws up the lamp oil ~ and when lit make for a stylish and modern table setting. Just another one of their glowing ideas - and JUST COOL!

cool product :: coil your candle

This festive red beeswax coil candle by Candle by the Hour, is made of beeswax and interesting in design! It's a kind of gadget /candle duo , made up of a wax coated wick that winds up from the base and you pull it up for as long as you want it to burn. It lasts for a total of 80 hours and smells like cinnamon candy.

lighting :: glowing candles. Are they real?

What will they think of next? I was at a friends the other night having dinner and after, went to blow out the candles and to my amazement, when I looked a little closer, they weren't real at all but battery operated imitations! I'm sure alot of you are familiar with these, but I wasn't , and I must admit I was HIGHLY impressed. They smell good - these had a subtle vanilla scent - and they look good. Real wax on the outside. Even the flickering "candlelight" had that glowing ambience that candles are all about! So I put these down on my GOTTA HAVE IT list. These candles are JUST COOL.

candles :: big is better

Big always makes a grand statement and these gracefully sinuous sculptures would certainly do that if they were actually as big as I thought they were (five feet tall!) . I admit at first glance I eagerly misread the numbers and even envisioned them from the pictures as overscale candles. So I'm not as impressed with Designer Jean-Marie Massaud's "Overscale Flames" which in reality are only a mere 7 - 20 inches in height. I like the design though, that it actually made of opaque black ceramic supported by a metal frame, with a built in oil reservoir and wick. I'm so disappointed that I can't get the five foot version though. Will someone please start making them?
