I love smelly candles and candle light and have started to look for pieces of old pressed glass in charity shops to put tea lights and small candles in as they give off the most beautiful twinkly light when put in them and have more character than modern holders.
I think the most I have paid so far (in a charity shop) is 50p ….. so if they get broken or I tire of them, it’s neither here nor there …..
….. although I did splash out £3.99 each on three Mont Fleuri glasses from Butlers in Notting Hill.
And talking of Butlers …. they have some very lovely stuff …..
….. like these flower boxes ….
….. this bath caddy 
…. this Patchwork style chest of drawers.
….. and finally this dome cloche …… all totally and absolutely gorgeous!
