Candlemaking

[poliphilo]

It was my ex-virtual-daughter-in-law who got us into scented candles. It helped that Ikea was selling them off at ridiculous prices. But then Ikea ran out of sale stock and feeding the habit became expensive. So Ailz bought us a kit and we're making our own. Thus far we've been recycling scrap wax and candle ends. 

The latest batch is pink.

That's a shame. I was going to suggest burning joss sticks, but I suppose they cause similar problems.

I like the newish scent things that are liquid and you put bamboo sticks in them that act like wicks. Those work but it's not like having that lovely flickering flame.

I don't think I've some across those. And you're right, a candle flame is just so friendly.

They are called Reed Diffusers
