Do you use candles year round or just winter time?
How much do you spend each year buying candles?

    Oh my. I light candles every night. And, I can count at least 18 of them. I used to spend a lot. But, now I buy them at a discount house or a supermarket. I think that I lived in another era. I love candlelight all the time. I use them all year.
    I have three on my coffee table, four on my mantle, four on my dining table, one on my wall, two on a chest of drawers and, if that is not enough, I have four on a knee wall and a floor candleabra with three.

    Love, Love, Love candles. Can you tell? I even use them on my deck during the summer. Nothing like it! Enjoy.

    I burn candles nightly year round. In the winter, I have set of 4 on the mantel, in the summer I have 2 on the porch. I don’t keep them all over the house, just where I sit to relax in the evening. I use only bee’s wax candles because I have a parrot and I can’t use scented for her health. I also raise bee’s so the wax is free and making candles is a hobby.

    I use candles year round. I make a trip to a locally owned candle shop about 3 times a year and buy a couple of large candles each time plus votives. The woman who owns the shop started out by making candles in a garage behind her house and now is very successful. I’ll give you a link, she does mail order also.

    I also burn a fragrance lamp when not burning candles. As much as I love candles, the fragrance lamp sends aroma through my entire house, where the candle’s aroma is limited to a room or two.
