I have a couple of timer candles inside two punched tin sconces in our living room that go on every night. So nice and cozy. Have a nice weekend.

Mine are not on a timer, but they do have a remote which I love! Yes, the candle has a wonderful fragrance.

Your mantle is so pretty with your pewter candlesticks framing the trencher with the battery operated candles. I love them here in our home as well. We a few of them that have a timer that is set for dusk. Candles make our homes so cozy. I can imagine the orange spice candle from your sister adds a lovely layer of fragrance to compliment your decor.

But somehow <i>oranges</i> seemed fine and I am loving it for now! <br /><br />The fireplace. L o n g story. (Most of mine are.) Here's the short-ish version:<br /><br />1) First fire built in the fireplace resulted in our house filled with smoke. <br />2) Chimney was professionally inspected and declared clear.<br />3) Second fire built in the fireplace resulted in our house filled with smoke.<br />4) Advice sought from lots of other fireplace owners. <br />5) Third fire built in the fireplace resulted in considerably less smoke. <br />6) Plans are made to tweak fireplace (with shared chimney) in basement and try again. <br /><br />I'd love to share an orange scone with you!
