I Love These Because....


They provide beautiful mood lighting in a room.   They are the perfect thing to fill in blank wall spaces on either side of decorative mirrors or art work.   They are gorgeous in a dining room or flanking a fireplace in a living room, or on a covered porch.  But the best part is, they require no electricity so they are also perfect for off-the grid cottages, and around your bathtub (where you should never ever have electrical sconces or low chandeliers).

The vintagey looking mosaic mirrored back will provide some sparkle and their Morrocan inspired shape adds a hint of the exotic.  And imagine the different looks you could create simply by using coloured pillar candles like tobacco browns or olive greens....... 

No electrical wiring required, and......they're only $39.
