Candles is a very simple way to lit up the home in a cosy way to create a nice atmosphere. And a candleholder is the icing on the cake.

First Advent
Today’s the time to light the first candle that signals that it’s four weeks to Christmas.
Candle holders
A very lovely setting with candle holders in coloured glass & matching sofa & cushions as a backdrop.

Daily inspiration, rich hues
I always look forward to autumn season, filled of rich colours, scents & pleasant walks in the surrounding areas. It’s nice when it becomes darker & darker so one have a reason to light candles & cozy up. Despite a warm spring here in Sydney, the colours in our backyard shifts between a  delirious spring & rich hues of autumn. That’s a very nice combination – the best of two worlds!

Dark Christmas / 223
I  have always thought of Christmas in red & green, silver & blue, gold & white but preferably in red. I grew up with the classic red Christmas – Santa Clauses, angels, sparklers, candles & stars – that were the ordinary attributes. We often used oranges & red apples as Christmas decorations. Even today, I think of Christmas when I feel the smell of peeled orange. It’s a pleasant feeling. To think of black as a Christmas colour would never have crossed my mind, or rather – my parents mind, then.
There are no limitations today. I like the variety of Christmas decorations & color combinations. In my  former job, I think I’ve used all kinds of props for Christmas displays, shop-remodeling & interior design. You’re exposed to a constant change & influence in the profession, in terms of range, styles & trends. One’s taste changes with time, I also think one becomes more picky … but maybe it’s personal, what do I know. It’s easy to fall into the same habits & do the same things without thinking of it. But no matter which Christmas you prefer, I wonder whether you would survive without all the candles. I know I wouldn’t! It’s beautiful with lit candles but calming & relaxing too.
I read somewhere, that Sweden uses 18,000 tonnes of light per year. Most candles are made of paraffin which contributes to global warming when they burn, just like oil & gas. If everyone in Sweden would choose candles instead of paraffin, the outcome would be the same as if we removed 15,000 cars from the streets! Â And if the entire Scandinavia switched to candles, it would mean around 30,000 cars! Worth thinking about, right?
