The Bowl Candle - Two Gifts In One......


One has to love the practicality
and the beauty 
of a bowl candle.
This orange clove soy candle
is poured into a vintage glass 
bowl with legs.

Burning this candle until about a half inch
remains and then removing the wicks
allows one to wash the bowl in the 
dishwasher or hot soapy water 
for a wonderful keepsake.

This week I was at one of our favorite 
department stores when I found these 
bowls on final clearance.
What were originally $9.99 
each were just $1.99 each.
I knew this was an unusual opportunity
because normally a beautiful container 
like this is just too costly to 
then add soy and pass on the 
total cost....
but at $1.99 I could just charge
for the candle.
The bowl is free to you!
Love it....


Autumn Magic
 Autumn Magic is a very unusual fragrance.
It is, however, one that I love.
It reminds me of a delightful idea for a man's cologne.
Spicy and fresh.



Bllueberry Muffin
 I know those are not blueberries on the 
side of this bowl but this was a great 
excuse to use such a fun and popular fragrance!


Orange Clove
 Perfect for Fall.
The orange scent is more prominent when the candle
is cool, while the clove is 
more prominent when it
is lit.


Country Bumpkin
A light fragrance that makes me feel as if I have
just walked into a quaint country store.
Apples and spice with a hint of potpourri.

If you haven't tried a bowl candle yet...
there is still time.

So much beauty.
And it lasts.

All of these candles are now available

More than Jar Candles....


If you've been around here long you 
know that just about nothing is spared
from being turned into a candle around here.
However, it was just yesterday when I was
posting a new listing at my Etsy shop that
I was able to put into words 
why this is true.

This is what I said in my newest listings:

"It is my goal to make candle art.
Jar candles are great. 
I make those too....
but there are places in our homes 
where we want it to be just a bit more dressed up. 
This gives you the option of a warm glow within a beautiful piece."


I found these two bowls on deep discount at 
Kohl's and simply fell in love with them.


They are $10 each
before shipping.

Shipping adds $5.


Each one holds between 8 and 9 ounces of soy wax.
As always the wicks are hemp.
No metal to burn!

Once burned down this bowl 
will clean up beautifully with 
hot soapy water
leaving you with a sweet bowl.


The purple one is actually a deeper purple 
than it seems from the picture.
It is French Lavender.

The yellow one is Amazingly Grace (Type)
Fragrance.  A very, very soft scent of roses and musk.

Contact me if you are local and want one 
of these bowls.  
You don't have to deal with the 
postage on Etsy.
