It looked much nicer in the store.

I fell in love with these round candles, and allowed myself to do what I very seldom do: I bought them on impulse. Predictably, they don't look as dramatic sitting on my mantle as they did in the store. Of course, I didn't buy the vases or the river rocks in which they were being displayed; I made do with what I had at home. Somehow, they seem a little lost on my mantle.


What the heck! They are candles so they won't be around forever, and once I add other Halloween-y stuff to the mantle next month, it'll jazz up the display.

They might look nicer in the library.

Will you light these? I'm picturing them in early evening, with a warm glow from a flickering flame, and that's when they'd hold their own! Larger, in the daytime, they look like they'd just compete with the plant and wall sconces. . . . but in the evening, they'd be the stars!
