my 4th favorite holiday decorating item — candles!

This one is a no brainer, I know. Candles are great for decorating any time of year and now you can even use the faux flame candles to keep things on the safe side.

Here are a few great displays using a variety of candles. Enjoy!

(Ad from InStyle magazine...great color & great sparkle!)

Happy holiday decorating.
