~White Wednesday # 60~


Is it just me or is Summer flying by? I can't believe the first week of August is already over and only a month until school starts again. Didn't it just get out? I've been busy this summer and there's never enough time to sit back and relax. Today I'm sharing some candles I made this Spring for some of my sales this summer. Candles remind me of relaxation. Add a little "charm" to them and they can also be a great addition to any decor. Enjoy! xoxo K.



I've added old watch faces to most of them and also show a few bottles I made with vintage keys. It's so fun to add vintage touches to simple things.

  22. they are darling Kathleen, I really love that you used watch faces for them, that is sooo you.
    I have to say my fav is that over sized bottle, so great for a display piece.
    I want time to fly to be with my family but when you are with the ones you love you want the time to slow down as much as possible.
    July did seem to last forever for me but August is flying by.
    Hope it slows up a bit for you
