Candles, Candles, Candles!

I have a real thing about candles.  I love them!  As you can see from some of my other projects.  I had this wonderful box sitting empty on our dresser in the living room.

I originally planted a great little herb garden in it and unfortunately with my super green thumb all my herbs withered away and I was only left with some dirt :-(

I am sure most of you have seen these and similar mason jars with Epsom salt and candles around pinterest and blogs.  I thought they would be perfect for my little box this Christmas season. 

I also made a couple others just because they are so simple and cheap!

P.S.  When using candles in your decor please light them!  There is nothing sadder to me (well maybe I'm exaggerating a little) than seeing perfectly good candles sitting on a table that have never been used.  To me the more a candle has been used, the more character it has...


I will also be linking up to these fabulous parties...
