Good Wednesday morning and thanks for coming Through My Back Door. It has been so pleasant here in East Tn the last several days, I am so glad to have you come visit. Of course the coffee is on, grab a cup and I want to tell you how you help light up my life. When you become a follower, or leave a comment you have lit up my life. I love hearing what you have to say and I enjoy all your blogs. So many of you gave me good advice when I began my blogging journey and I want to thank you. So thank you very much.
I think all of us, whether we call ourselves prim, colonial, vintage, or whatever love candles. I know I just can never seem to have enough candle holders.lol So today I thought I would share some of mine with you. Like my sheep, only one or two have some special meaning, I just like them. Here are a few.
These are just a few of my many candle sticks. I think they just add to any vignette. Don't you? I like all textures. Wood, metal, tin, and pewter. I think I have more pewter than any. The red jack candle was my first really "prim" purchase many years ago. I bought it when I was doing antique show and paid 35.00 for it. Everyone teased me to high heaven, but I have always loved that old thing.
I can't let you leave after looking at the candle holders without showing you the snuffers or wick trimmers.
I hope you enjoyed your visit today. I certainly enjoyed having you. I have lots more candle holders but this is enough don't you think?
I had a great aunt,in Coshocton, Ohio who was so eclectic. She had so much stuff in her house and we all used to laugh when we went there. She might have 5 clocks in one room and none worked, or 6/7 lamps and none worked. Get the picture? Well, it appears that my Aunt Cleona is alive and well in East Tn. The only difference is I call my prim and collectibles! And they all work!
Thanks again for coming Through My Back Door where life is good.

Love all the candle holders and especially the snuffers and trimmers. They look so different and neat. I am that way about lamps. Just can't have too many. Really enjoyed my visit. You are welcome to drop by anytime to visit with me
ReplyDeleteBetty,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! Loved all of your candle holders! You have quite a collection. The snuffers and trimmers are works of art. I don't think I have ever seen any that look like the ones you have! It is so great to see you enjoy what you collect. Your home is so welcoming and warm, I love coming through your back door even if it is in the "cyber world". Take care and have a wonderful Wednesday! ~Sarah~
Hi Betty, You have a very nice collection of candle holders. I have a few myself, they add a lot to a room. I don't have any candle snuffers or wick trimmers like yours, very nice collection on them, you just don't see those any more. Well I enjoyed my visit with you as usual. Vicky
