Christmas by Candlelight

Keep the Fire Extinguisher Handy!

It occurred to me that I never show the candles all lit in my fireplace.

That is because it takes awhile to light them all (and blow out) and it kind of scares me.

This candle holder is actually three candle holders grouped together.

It's pretty...but dangerous...

(like Violet)

In front is your standard candelabra that is used often in fireplaces.

And to the back and to the sides are folding holders.

They are hinged like a screen and can be turned this way and that to make

different configurations.

I had bought the two folding candle holders for another project in my old house.

When I bought the front candleholder for this fireplace, it just didn't seem like enough.

So I thought I'd try the other two with it...and yes, that worked.

I painted them all white and shabby chic'd em.

A few more shots of the room at night and with candles lit.

And lastly...every year I buy at least one new Christmas CD.

This is this year's...

Listen to samples of the songs here...

It has turned out to be a great addition to my collection.
