I had a request inquiring where to find some citronella candles for mosquitoes a couple days ago so sharing some of my finds.
Here’s a citronella candle offering a new slant on the garden gnome. I’m not sure what’s up with the blue color but it’s different and can be found at Clean Air Gardening. I’m [...]

Hanging and floating candle lanterns

May 9, 2008 | 2 Comments

I was hanging out at Outdoor Candle Lanterns and had no clue there were so many different candle lantern options. I like the idea of using battery operated candles in some of the lanterns, especially if they’re paper.
You can also go for glass, metal, nylon and even silk. I love the ambiance candle lanterns create. [...]

Candle scents that are suitable for spring include rose, gardenia, jasmine, lilac, [...]

Paper Flowers for a Candle

March 24, 2008 | 1 Comment

I know paper and candles don’t sound like they should go together but if you keep them far enough away from each other, it’s a pretty effect.
I thought this would make a good spring candle craft project and like how they use a rock for the base. You could glue all sorts of other things [...]
