Speaking of candlelight and since you and I both have the same set of candlesticks (the brass, graduated height ones) I used mine this year with a bit of a twist by perching (beaded and sequined) cone shaped trees on them. The tapered (unlighted)candle inside holds the tree in place and the candlestick itself provides the illusion of a decorative trunk. Just thought I would share this with you as you may wish to try it some time. (My trees are all the same size so they can be stacked and easily stored.)
Wishing you and Scott all the best in the New Year. Many hugs -Brenda-
I have enjoyed your posts this past month, especially this one - Last year I turned to battery operated candles (even tapers!) but now I think I am ready to return to the real thing...and this has inspired me! Happy New Year, friend!
The shimmering glow of candlelight is so romantic!!The portrait in the gold leaf European Art Frame is also mesmerizing!

Especially liked the large candle collection on the table below the stairs...various heights, sizes, styles.
