Remember this? I have searched high and low for a candles to fit this candle holder. I never did find any. I mentioned it on my blog and Carolee from AUTUMN MOM - PATCHES OF GODLIGHT left me a comment telling me that she made candles and offered to make me some. So we emailed and I gave her the measurements, etc.
Well, yesterday I got a package from her! She sent me not one, but two beautiful grubbied candles. And they smell soooooo good! One is for my iron candle holder and the other will fit a regular candle holder. She also sent me two handmade soaps! I'm not sure what scent they are, but they smell so clean and fresh!
Doesn't this candle look awesome in my iron candle holder? Normally, I would have taken off the cheese cloth and Sweet Annie, but it looks so nice that I wanted to leave it on. The handle of the holder was getting in the way, so I slid it down to the base of the candle so it can be seen better. It's too pretty to burn, but I will enjoy looking at it and smelling it.
Carolee, thank you so very much for your kindness! The candles and soaps are awesome! If you have never visited Carolee's blog, please do. You won't be disappointed. She is a wonderful, sweet lady with many talents.

It's still raining here and we have had several storms pass through. So far, nothing too serious in our area, just lots of standing water. Hubby was going to work today, but he opted to stay home and I'm so glad he did!
I tried to sleep late this morning, but by 7:00am. I had to get out of that bed. I planned to clean today while hubby worked, but since he is home, I will wait until Monday morning. I have beef tips cooking in the crockpot, and they already smell yummy. So dinner will be easy. I'll make some rice & a veggie to go with it.
One of my sisters & her hubby came home last night to spend the weekend with Daddy. I can't believe they drove 5 hours in this downpour! If the rain lets up, I hope to go out there to visit with them before they have to go home.
So my day will be spent watching movies and piddling around the house. I also hope to work on my stitchery. I am a little more than halfway finished with it. Then I need to get all my thrift store frames painted, etc. So hopefully I will have that to show in a few days.
However you spend your weekend, may it be filled with fun and happiness.
