Candles and Candles and Candles

I love soy candles......BeanPod is my favorite. I love Bees Wax also. Here are a few ideas I want to share with you.

You can use vegetables and fruit for candle holders. Pineapple is hospitality. Insert a candle stick in the center of the pineapple. Use more than one on a buffet. Use urns with ivy and candles.......group in three's and have some higher and lower. Place candles in the center of a rose arrangement. Bees Wax candles are just fabulous, add pretty bows around the urn.

If you have a stair case...place votives in candle holders.....three votives per step going up to the top.

Group vases or nice glasses in a tray and cover with all holly and greenry add floating candles.

You can stack an green apple and red apple and orange with a candle on top.

Purchase a bunch of wax tapers and tie with pretty organza ribbon and give to a dear friend.

Use tera cotton mini pots and glue on silk green leaves and add a votive candle. Tie with the ribbon that looks like straw........regret I can't think of the name of it! lol

Having friends over for coffee this Christmas season.......take coffee beans and place in goblet or nice glass dish and insert a fragrant votive to match the coffee scent........you can put on a tray with biscotti and other chocolates....even chocolate spoons. Always have homemade hot cocoa on hand too...your friend may bring a guest that does not drink coffee. It will still be a fun time for all.
