Recently I have started lighting half a dozen in my kitchen of an evening. I kinds like it.

 

Is this the start of something bigger?

Will I move onto scented candles?

Will I replace my electric lights with church candles?

 

Will I need help?  

 

I love scented candles ....especially Yankee candles

No, I've got scissors and I blow them out.

 

On one of those shopping channels there was a rather too enthusiastic gay gentleman who was extolling the virtues of said tools. He made it sound like not having them would seriously curtail your enjoyment of the candles. But as we all know, they are there to sell stuff.

Because their main original use was in a tea-pot warmer.

My daughter often does things like that ....she likes to have them all over the place .

 

I have some large stainless steel mixing bowl (like large dog bowls). I can use one of those and they are reflective.

Suppose they make the place nice and cosy Sprout?  Lovely on a winter's night and especially around Christmas.
