Lumnique Candles.

A few weeks ago I received a lovely candle from Allison at Lumnique in the mail. The first thing I noticed was the packaging, which was more like a presentation. Because upon opening the sleek black box I was greeted with a personalized note telling me all about this amazing-smelling candle – the perfect vanilla – that was created just for me.

In fact, you’re in charge of choosing not only the scent but the color of your candle as well. Its then hand-poured to your exact specifications. I love that the entire process is so personal, way more meaningful than just plucking a candle off a shelf. Each candle even comes with its own box of matches – so sweet!

Pretty Vases.

I’ve been on the hunt for a vase that does its job or is okay with just sitting there and looking pretty. Yesterday I picked up a ceramic one that is tall, slender and adorned with a white on white raised honeycomb pattern. It’s new home in on my mantel.

But then I saw these. They’re actually called Pretty Vases. And I love the bold, bright colors paired with the unconventional pipe-mimicking design.
