I've had really good luck with them burning well, lasting a long time, and not excessively dripping. They have no smell at all (or at least the ones I buy have no smell--I think they do carry some scented candles but I always avoid those). <br /><br />But I love beeswax candles when I can find them!<br /><br />CountryGirl--I'm going to check out your advent calendar right now.Mary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15147791473133449106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224074171829015497.post-56443481436152249392010-12-01T06:06:14.536-08:002010-12-01T06:06:14.536-08:00This is lovely.

I haven't found the energy to dismantle fall and start on winter decorating, but you are inspiring me to toss out the gourds...our mantle is just a row of bare bricks that never got finished (I had planned on finding the perfect flat rock to put on top of them before Christmas, but I see that is not going to happen!)Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14748454816480995214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224074171829015497.post-84315223275995839182010-12-01T05:14:45.180-08:002010-12-01T05:14:45.180-08:00Very nice!

I have been very leery of anything with artificial fragrances lately. I have been searching for some all natural candles, but haven't had any luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224074171829015497.post-53043508426198500962010-12-01T03:31:32.108-08:002010-12-01T03:31:32.108-08:00simply special!simply special!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08022823439090526459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224074171829015497.post-61058184219523136822010-12-01T02:04:53.954-08:002010-12-01T02:04:53.954-08:00Beautiful decoration!

I started making it a month or so ago and was determined to get it finished. The look on his face when he saw it this morning at 6am (after we had both been coughing all night long!) was wonderful. I've posted a picture on my blog for you to see. It's 25 knitted stockings on a padded background, filled with candy canes and chocolate. x8760https://www.blogger.com/profile/15179257055515722010noreply@blogger.com
