Decor Tip: Light Me Up

I love candles. Fact. Understatement of the century even. My fascination and obsession with them is well known to my friends and family, so much so that on Christmas or or when people come over for dinner, they don't bring the standard box of chocolates and a little something else - I almost always get a candle. A pretty but lonely stand-alone candle

I don't own candle stick holders that would accommodate the various sizes of the gifted candles. So after accumulating a small collection of candles that were looking rather sorry for themselves (and gathering dust) in the cupboard, I decided the other night, to take out 3 of them who have a) colours that are complimentary to one another and b) pastels that make them look Spring-time appropriate, and grouped them together to burn at the same time. Loverly. 

So if like me, you own a lot of individual stick candles that you just don't have a home for in any of your rooms, group them together and burn them at the same time - I think it makes for a simple but very pretty centrepiece. For example, a group of cream and crisp white candles placed next to a beautiful flower vase would look gorgeous on the table if you're having a little get together at yours in the summer/in the garden.  

One of my favourite bloggers, Emily from the famous Cupcakes and Cashmere, did a post where she grouped a lot more candles together to make for a more interesting fireplace and this is where I got the idea to burn candles together. Check out her fireplace -here-.

What do you do with individual candles that you can't place into a candlestick holder? Any other candle burning tips?
