{USEFUL Candle Snuggers & Bobèches}

Again it is the time of the year for using candles, lots of candles. With that comes the need for Candle Snuggers & Bobèches. So let me show you once more about these two USEFUL items. For those of you who have not yet heard of Candle Snuggers, they are available at my Zen Cart powered on line boutique: Mariette's Back to Basics and I ship world wide! They do work great for stabilizing your candles inside any vintage or new candle holder. The Bobèches are not expensive at all and will reward you for catching the melted wax before it will get to your fineries. At Amazon.com I did find plenty of them so I will give here the link.

Candle Snuggers for inside; Bobèches around candle and a Hugging Angel...

The silver crocheted doily has been hand made by a former Turkish neighbor in The Netherlands.

Incredible work, I would not be able to copy that!

Do you love candles as much as I do?

Sweet hugging angel...

For more detail on the candle holders, see link below this post.

Different Bobèches used here, fluted one and with a gilded edge.

These are the Candle Snuggers...

{Use Bobèches with YOUR Candles!}

We have been talking all along about the Advent season and with Christmas just five days away, I thought it interesting to share with you the use of bobèches with your candles. Using tapers for our festive Christmas dinner and candles all throughout the home for the winter season, it makes bobèches a very wise investment. They are not expensive at all and will reward you for catching the melted wax before it will get to your fineries. At Amazon.com I did find plenty of them so I will give the Bobeche link (just click it). Sure, they will not arrive before Christmas but this is something that is needed year round. With New Year's Eve coming first, Valentine and on and on for parties and dinners served at the home. Especially in a downward economy, we tend to entertain more at home. Have a look at my bobèches below. They're all from glass, like the ones at Amazon.com and of course there are some rare antique crystal ones from e.g. Baccarat, France but let's keep it within budget! Don't forget to scroll all the way down for a special Birthday girl; one that I ADMIRE!

Naturally, I will be showing you more angels too... One is clinging onto the candle and there is a cute one sitting in front of the Royal Selangor pewter candle holders, which we bought in Singapore. A cute sheep stands by...

The silver metallic thread lace doily is hand crocheted by a former neighbor in The Netherlands, she is from Turkey. Such art work I do treasure a life time, as it also is labor of love.

The cute angel was given by our extended family as a Christmas gift.

These two bobèches do have a gold edge.

The silver tray was handmade for us in Kotagede, Indonesia.

Now two sterling silver candle holders with fluted bobèches have joined the Royal Selangor pewter ones.

Inside the candle holder you see one of my Hugger Brand Candle Snuggers for holding any candle straight, safe and secure. You can find them in a previous blog {Hugger Candle Snuggers}.

The two Royal Selangor pewter candle holders.

 Royal Selangor is established in 1885 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Two Mason's Mandalay Chartreuse candle holders and two silver plated tall ones with tapers and bobèches.

Each of them also holds a Hugger Candle Snugger.

Candles are Dutch Gouda. Yes, Gouda is a city that produces fine cheeses and candles!

Soft look without flash...

Mason's Mandalay Chartreuse is a beautiful pattern with gold edging too.

Again soft look without flash...

Do you love candles as much as I do?

Please do visit dear friend Celia from +Celia M. High Heeled Life as today is her Birthday!
