    Vintage teacups sure do make cute candle holders.
    I had a dress hanging up off the wardrobe and one of our cats just sat there with her head up in it. they are such funny creatures.

      You crack me up, Allison! (as does Frankie!!) Perhaps they were sent from above? If you figure out what they are, let me know - we're always looking to try new beans.

      super easy! I just melt the wax in a double boiler (ie. a metal bowl over a small pot of just simmering water) over a very low flame. let the wax sit for 10-20 mins. place the wicks in the centre of your cup/jar/bottle, then gently pour the wax into it. allow to cure for 24hours before lighting. (most tutorials say to use thermomenters, pouring jugs & other apparatus - I say, be safe & go slowly...& totally try it, it's so fun & satisfying!

      It was the perfect way to sum up how I was feeling that day! I think I might create a poster or framed canvas with it for our kitchen.
