I LOVE CANDLES !!!!!

I've always liked candles. Then, a number of years ago, I was introduced to Partylite candles... I fell in LOVE with candles. Partylite are the cleanest burning candles. The tea lights and votive candles liquefy while burning and return to their solid state when cooled. You literally burn ALL of the candle until the wax completely disappears from your container. The liquid is stunning burning in clear containers.

Everywhere I go I look for new holders to burn candles in. A few years ago while at a friends home I noticed they had a candelabra over the dining room table. No electricity, I LOVED IT! And so I have been on a mission to convert my UGLY lighting fixture in our dining room over to a candelabra. It took a while to convince Scott, and I needed to find just the right design. I found it! and for Christmas, 2006, Scott bought it for me. We decided to make a small modification and add a spotlight in the center. Scott's workmate, Kelly welded the pieces together for us. THANK YOU! Kelly, it looks fantastic. We still have a little tweaking to hide the spotlight a little better, but here it is...



This style is called Moroccan. Doesn't that sound exotic? We don't really go with any one style here in the Ogle home. It's basically whatever we like all mixed in together:) There are 5 different colored votive cups. I'm still debating all the different colors and may end up switching some out.
