{Make} The butcher, the baker, the candlestick-maker...

It never occurred to me that i could make my own candles.  But after seeing it in the blogosphere, I realized how brilliant the idea is.

See, I love candles.  What girl doesn't?  The problem is a) the kind of candles I like are the cost of an affordable pair of jeans ($60ish) and b) the affordable candles that have great scents are all colored and stuff.  I don't really care for colored candles because they always throw off my design scheme.  I like neutrals with a pop of awesome.  Coming from a pillow.  Not a candle.  So I'm a Plain Jane candle girl, I guess.

I whipped these babies up in a flash, all while on the phone with the madre.  We like to talk, so maybe it was a long flash.

Anyway, this morning, I'm blogging to you, while rose and bergamot candles are working their magic. And I'm feeling like genius for making these things.

You should make them too.
