Pretty fabulous candelabra
Candelabras do not have to be stern pieces of table decor, highly polished and dragged out but once a year.
No, they should be delicate, slightly vintagey, strewn with flowers and perched on a dainty base.
It’s a reasonable £39 and we don’t see why it shouldn’t be out on the table all year round.
Find it at Bombay Duck.

Vintage china teacup candle
At Cosy Home Blog, we love old vintage china teacups and, in addition to drinking tea from them, one of the popular ways you can bring them into your home is in the form of a candle.
These teacup candles are all one-off vintage pieces, so each cup is unique, and the cup is filled with a delicately scented candle.
If you love the look of vintage china, and also appreciate candles, then this is a great way of combining the two. It would also make a lovely gift.
Kirstie Allsopp famously featured vintage china teacup candles in her popular Channel 4 TV series, Kirstie’s Homemade Home.
The vintage teacup candles are available to purchase from Lavender Room for £22.00 each.
