Candle Obsession

I love candles. Because of my allergies, though, I can only have baked goods or fruit scents. Whenever I find one that I like, I find myself buying it. Because I never had a good place to store them all before, I never really knew how many I have. When I was cleaning out my linen closet I unearthed an insane amount of candles. I also bought four more last Saturday at an arts and crafts fair.


Here is a picture of my entire collection. There are three drawers in my new dresser underneath the candles where I'm now storing them. It's easy access, so hopefully I'll start burning them more often. At the rate I'm collecting versus the rate I'm burning them, it will take me a dozen years to get through them all. (But don't tell J - cause I'm still going to buy them when I find a good one!) Notice how they are all in jars? I apparently don't like pillar or tapered candles...





Here are some of my favorites. (Sorry some of the pictures are sort of blurry. It's hard to focus that close apparently.)


These first few are "Barn Candles" and I think they are adorable! They are in mason jars and have a lid. Some of them also have a twisted wire that holds a book of matches. This first picture shows the entire candle, the next few just show the different scents. Lemon Chiffon and Cherry Pie are my absolute favorites of this type of candle.









These are the new candles I just got last Saturday at the arts and craft fair. They are soy and "double scented" and they are awesome!! Lime is probably my all time favorite candle scent of any type of candle. I got on their website and they have some other great scents...I'll have to control myself!

Man, I love candles! I'm pretty excited to go through my whole collection again - I forgot how many great scents I had!
