Vintage, vintage and more vintage.

Using vintage cups as candle holders is a very cute idea — and it opens up a new series of thoughts ..how many different containers can we use as candle holders??

By the way, it is not hard to create your own candles. Here’s what I do: I save up all those little bitty scraps of the ends of candles … all colors, scents, sizes, etc. Break them in to smaller pieces, if necessary. Store ‘em in a clean jar, with a lid on it. When you have quite a few bits and ends, put the entire jar into a pot, that has about 2 inches of water in it. Bring the water to a boil, and turn to med. low, just so the water keeps simmering around the glass jar. It will melt the wax, but will not ruin your cookware. When it’s all melted, add your color and any scent you are using. This is not the real art of candle making but it works!
