Candle-light
Oh how pretty!
I found this in the back of a cupboard, bought as a prop for Priddy Priddy Vintage but stuffed to the back of a cupboard when it didn't work as I wanted it to...
It gives of a lovely glow and even heats the room up!
Inspired by my sister I have been re-purposing a few spare jam jars...I have a LOT of jam jars and a hefty number of Vintage Kilner jars.
The Bonne Maman jam jars house my buttons, sorted into colours they are a wonderful rainbow of yumminess...the more jam we eat the more refined the rainbow becomes, tonal colours *sigh*
Other Bonne Maman jars have been put to good use this year to keep the home-made preserves/relish more managably sized {less waste}
The Vintage Kilner jars are another matter though...I 'like' them too much to actually use them and they are pretty large too; so a bit big for my jams etc!
So back to spare jam/pickle jars...
after spending a couple nights enjoying the candles I am running low on supplies of this size candle!
They come from Ikea {where else} and as
A) I don't plan a trip this side of Christmas {unless I nip in whilst at the Milton Keynes Vintage Fair?}
and B) no other candle seems to fit...
I want to try to save them.
All very good but I still want candle light, so I've been stash busting
Leftover linen, a snip of ribbon, the odd button and hey presto...
the buttons are my favourites
Lovely decorated jam jars to house dinky {and found by the hundreds everywhere} tea lights
