Good thinking! Also, in case you're ever wondering what to do with all those candle scraps? You can do this with ones you cut, or ones that burn right down the middle and waste tons of candle. Just get a candle warmer and an empty jar or glass and throw the scraps in, then heat it up and re-pour your own candles. You can buy wicks at any craft store, plus little glass containers and voila. No more wasted candle scraps!

Oh you are too funny. I stopped by from "The American Homemakers" blog after reading your comment about ripping up books. Adding you to my blog list because I can use all the laughs I can gather. Blessings to you! I think "Sanctuary Arts" works best. Smart move.

You have no idea how often this happens to me! In fact, I purchased 3 candle holders and have been freaking out because I cannot find 3 candles in the same "family" in varying heights. You've solved my problem! Thanks

Tara said...

Genious! Happy Friday, hope you have a wonderful weekend~

Mrs. Jones said...

Wow, what a simple solution. I can't believe it never occurred to me to do that!

I've done that! Though it's usually cutting off the messed up melted top to make the candle look fresh ;-)

Ms. Tee said...

Oh, that made me laugh! Perfect!
Hope you're feeling much better~ :)
