{Angel Candle Snuffer Gift}

My dear friend Mariëlle, from The Netherlands, did stay with us from May 2 till May 9. A brief vacation for her, but she had to be back at her Kandinsky College Malderburchtstraat for dealing with the exam week, before the summer vacation would start. 
Mariëlle also lost her dear Mom, on January 3, and I lost my Mom on January 27...
So it is obvious that both of us had Angels on our minds.
Mariëlle actually did create one for me!
A very unique Angel Candle Snuffer...
Angel's head and handle are made out of wood. The body, halo and extension to wooden handle are made out of Alpaca, or nickle silver, and spray coated with a heat resistant paint in matte silver.
LOVE the ergonomics of it, as it feels so perfect inside my hand.
Super cute Angel!
The hand crocheted table cloth is a gift from my Dutch friend Ellie...
Candle and Chrysler Imperial fragrant rose are in Baccarat crystal.
More up close... 
Candle is from Point A La Ligne France, the Rolls Royce of candles.
Don't you love Mariëlle's sweet Angel design?

  1. Oh, ma chère Mariette, angels and roses are the most heavenly combination, and these are just too precious for words. Your thoughtfulness in sending me a message on the anniversary of Mme Mère's passing was greatly appreciated. She adored roses, and I can only hope that the people who now occupy my old family home appreciate the rose bushes she planted when I was a little girl. She truly had a way with roses.

    Big bisous, M-T

    1. Dearest Marie-Thérèse,
      Yes, it is a very heavenly combination and both are my favorties; hence my Twitter name AngelsnRosebuds.
      You are quite welcome and in that we are not that far apart... The fond memories live on within us and like you mention, the rose bushes that she planted are hopefully still a living memory.
      Sending you hugs,
      Mariette
