Ever since I was a little girl I have just loved candles! I would spend ages just watching their lovely glow and taking in the aroma as they burned. I couldn't imagine life without them.

confess - I have completed contracted the "Spring Cleaning Bug" and been almost fanatical about decluttering, cleaning out cupboards and opening up spaces. I am enhancing our home and its new "Spring Clean" with candles that have fresh, clean, floral fragrances. My current favorites are Frangipani and Rose Geranium.
