DIY Candle Holders





I love my farm town, I really do. The summer showers that freshen the air, the little treasures that money can't buy.

The only downfall being that this is one of the worst lightning area's in the country. As soon as the sky is lit with electricity, there no longer is electricity down here.

Very often we have candle lit dinners, romantic right?

There's something about dimmed lights. It brings a sense of calmness and tranquility. That been said though, constant black-outs do tend to become a teeny bit frustrating.

Today I'll be sharing a few simple candle holder DIY ideas.
