The Warmth Of Candlelight...

I'm a candle-burner.
No matter what season of the year, you'll find candles burning in my home.
I'm drawn like a moth to the flame, they comfort me, console me, wrap me in their warm glow.

Autumn is my favorite season , I already have the Autumn Spices candles burning.
The smell is intoxicatingly heady.
Nothing says "Welcome Home" better than the soft glow of a burning spiced-candle.

Agreed! I love that photo. Makes me want to go home and light some autumn scented candles *now*! In fact, I think I will :) Happy Autumn! -Tammy

That is a lovely photo and candles are wonderful. Just love that soft glow for one thing, and a favorite sense is as you describe so perfectly, intoxicating.

Oh Jo----I love candles!!!! I used to light them most every night---but then I kinda got out of the habit. Since I don't have a 'live' Christmas tree anymore, I burn candles which smell like 'pine' at Christmas...

Hugs,

Your photographs are beyond professional...absolutely beautiful.

I thought I should say something instead of my continued silent gawking.

Also a candle burner but I like the mountain air type scents. That photo is just stunning; did you take it?

Candles and a fireplace would help to warm it up in our house today. It is so cold out. Your photo is beautiful!

Miss Daisy said...

I'm a candle burner, too. I love the new Scentsy burners. The smell infiltrates the room and my senses. Love it! Love your photo, too!

Oh such beautiful candles Jo. We used to light candles all the time but then lately not as much. I am going to make a really nice dinner and have candles everywhere tonight. Thanks for the inspiration, again and again!

Winifred said...

I love your photo.

I like candles too but I'm such a div I leave them burning and forget about them. Reached a point where I'll have to stop lighting them unless I'm staying in.

I always manage to spill the grease about the place too. Messy cat!

We burn them from autumn through winter almost every night.
But be careful...many fires start this way.
one of my best friends house's just had a major fire from one of her votives catching on fire. It was awful and they lost most of their home that way.
