Candles

On a recent road trip with my sister and mum, we decided to stop at the town of Berry in New South Wales.  Whilst walking along the street our senses were hit with a lovely smell...and not one that came from a bakery!  Following the smell we entered a small arcade where there was a lovely shop that had quilts and candles.  So impressed by the owner of the shop, his knowledge & interest in our preferences we walked out with 4 candles.  


The candles we ended up getting burn for approx. 100 hours (and that's the medium one!).  The cost was very reasonable considering and even better it doesn't burn with black smoke rising from the flame.  It is an American brand with a soy base.  However, the seller for me was the sound.  Sound?  but isn't is a candle so wouldn't I mean smell????  Nope, I definitely mean sound.  The wick is actually wood and therefore sounds like a mini open fire as it burns...and for some unknown reason this adds to the appeal for me.


So, if any of you are interested I've attached the link to the website.  The candles that I'm talking about are called 'WoodWick'.  Enjoy!!
