Candles Candles everywhere!

I certainly have a thing about candles as all of my family and friends will tell you. I have no excuse for lighting a candle every evening and sometimes in the morning for breakfast.

 This time of year it can be so dark in the morning that candlelight at your breakfast table just adds a bit of warmth to the darkness.

I have so many candles one of my favourites is a pair that I bought in the Greek Island of Crete they are tall a little modern but sit perfectly well on my mantelpiece,

 I also love these two candles that I bought in France in the shape of a gourdes I am afraid I haven’t lit them because I love the shape so much.

Another find was this unusual lantern from Amsterdam I have had this years but still love it.

Now when it comes to the Advent Candle (which I always buy)

I have a real problem already it has burnt down to the 9th I just keep forgetting it, my son’s have never forgotten when I went straight to no 24 on the lst of December, so I am doing quite well already.
I also have this very pretty night light by my bed

Here are a few photos of my favourite candles (or at least some that I would like to buy)

The small little candles I think I bought at Caroline Zoob and the large ones from a shop in Exeter called The Orange Tree.

This fireplace looks so lovely and elegant!

Just adding this picture (I know there are no candles on it) but it is a brilliant idea and one that I am definitely going to do this christmas with the Chandelier I have in the dining room. (I will let you know what mine looks like near Christmas)

It seems a while since I wrote my blog but the time seems to be going so quickly and I seem to be so busy – although what at I don’t know. I had a lovely morning at the Vintage Fair at Pamphill and it was lovely meeting fellow bloggers especially Cecile from Elegance Maison – who I am sorry I couldn’t stay longer to talk (and she was very busy which is good). We have also had birthdays in the family and we have visited our new addition Ottis at my son’s Olivers home he is so good and cute and Oliver is finding him such good company. And here he is

I would just like to thank all the people that have visited my blog I really love hearing from you and now I am going to catch up and read all your posts.
