These Candleholders Have Style To Burn

Recalls this week: candle holders, travel trunks

Three-inch-tall votives are available through Williams-Sonoma Home at $95 each. Mosaic candleholders layer iridescent color as candlelight glows through tiny cut-glass pieces in a captivating way. Another kind of light play comes from holders with eyelet designs. Like pierced tin chandeliers, light shines through the openings, creating intriguing patterns. Candleholders with mirrored bases as well as those made of mercury glass also lend their reflective qualities. Wood candleholders are perennial favorites.

Cracker Barrel recalling some candle holders

(WAVY) – Votive candle holders sold at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store are being recalled due to a fire hazard. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the BBQ Ant Votive Candle Holders are being recalled because the decorative ants arms can break. The arms are used to hold up the votive cup, and if they break, a lit candle can tip over or fall out, posing fire and burn hazards. The CPSC said consumers should stop using this product unless otherwise instructed. Customers seeking a refund should contact Mercuries Asia at (800) 828-9316 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Created in partnership with Stephanie Hakes, esteemed perfumer from global fragrance house Ungerer & Company , Tru Blooms Fountain of Roses is a transparent aquatic floral captured from the essential oils and essence of rose geranium, patchouli, rose and lavender, sparking a warm and glamorous fragrance. The Tru Blooms initiative, now in its second year, marks the first time a city has come together to fulfill a mission of sustainability, urban beautification and economic development through the planting and cultivating of flowers and gardens specifically for use in a fine fragrance. The initiative is a joint effort by Tru Fragrance, the city of Chicago and several city and community organizations, including Chicago Park District, Chicago Botanic Garden, Growing Power, Growing Home, NeighborSpace and newcomer Whitney Young High School, who are all committed to making an impact through sustainability. Following the success of the first Tru Blooms Chicago perfume, which was among the most sought after fragrances in the city last year, we approached 2013 wanting to give the community a totally new and different fragrance they could again be proud of, said Monte Henige, CEO and owner of Tru Fragrance. The result of the 2013 initiative is starkly different to last year, yet still embodies everything we love about Chicago. Tru Blooms Fountain of Roses is a warm yet sophisticated fragrance that is desirable, elegant and very wearable. The new fragrance features top notes of sparkling orange and kumquat zest that blend seamlessly with the heart of orange blossom, lavender, lily of the valley and pink rose petals, evoking an image of a fountain overgrown with roses.

There’s An Alarm Clock App For Justin Bieber’s The Key Fragrance

He released an app. More specifically, an alarm clock app . For his fragrance. Does this compute? If you’re a little lost, we don’t blame you. Sleep and perfumes don’t often (ever?) go hand-in-hand. The rationale, we believe, is that the entire fragrance campaign has revolved around the idea of Bieber somehow unlocking your bedroom door (y’know, with The Key) to visit you at night. Whether that’s in your dreams or IRL is left ~up to the imagination~. Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) September 27, 2013 This is just Part 3 of the Justin Bieber fragrance/marketing trilogy that so expertly plays RIGHT into the fantasy factory that is a teenage girl’s mind, overflowing with hormones.

Is Pharrell Working on a Fragrance?

27, 2013 12:17 PM PDT Loading… Talk about heaven sentor should we say, heaven scent? Judging from what Nicki Minaj recently told us about her latest fragrance, Minajesty, wearers of the perfume might want to prepare themselves for a holy experience. “My second fragrance has hints of vanilla, woodsy stuff, lemon, everything great that God ever created,” she said of her second fragrance. Quite the ringing endorsement, if you ask us! “God is in that bottle,” she joked. “If you want to be blessed, spray it on you three times a day.” And you can definitely consider Minaj a devout devotee of the Minajesty scent. “I’m obsessed with it,” she gushed. “No lie, I go through a bottle a week.”

Nicki Minaj Says Minajesty Fragrance Has Hints of “Everything Great That God Ever Created”

The producer will also launch his own fragrance, this according to Details. During an interview with the magazine, he confirmed that he’s working on his scent. Well, it’s unclear whether this was before or after the conversation, or what was exactly revelead, as Detailsonly mentions it briefly in the article. “While Williams considers music ‘the nucleus of everything,’ the orbiting particles include fashion… and he’s making plans to add perfumer, architect, and filmmaker to hisresume,” writes the Detailsstaff. Later: “He’s at work on creating a fragrance…” Pharrell didn’t add much, only describing what his process is like when working on a project. “I create based on what I feel like is missing,” he told Details. “You jump in and follow your gut. It’s like a sculptureyou’re just adding on more clay, you’re chiseling away and adding on until you feel like it’s done, and you stand back and go, ‘Oh! It’s a person.'” What will the fragrance smell like?

Karl Lagerfeld Launches Line Of Scented Candles

Each candle will retail for 45 euros or approximately $60 at current exchange rate. The scented candles are currently available in Weltons London shop and Lagerfelds boutiques.

The rise of scented candles

And in those days of yore, the host would accept with pleasure and a flicker of judgment (lilies: a leetle vulgar? Cornflowers: irritatingly faux-naif?), then disappear to the sink to faff about with vases, scissors and sachets. How we have evolved. Since approximately 2006, the scented candle, smartly packaged and branded, has been the go-to house gift, bringing atmosphere, warmth and, crucially, zero mess to the party. Its irresistible rise has been fuelled by a series of high-profile devotees, from Diana Vreeland, editor of Vogue in the 1960s, to Diana, Princess of Wales, and from Joan Collins to J.Lo. Now interiors brands, artisan chandlers, furniture designers and niche perfumers are all launching scented candles. These covetable little luxuries may not involve washing up, but they telegraph our tribal tastes and aspirations as Subscribe now

‘6 Candles’ Review: Shaam Excels In This Otherwise Lousy Tamil Film

Fred’s Cake Candelabra Is On Our Birthday List (PHOTO)

Indian audiences like being emotionally hijacked, and that is what most of our films do. But then, drama in a film is most appreciated when it makes audiences cry; in ‘6 Candles’, it’s characters that do the crying. Shaam tried to pull off a one-man show, but he puts audiences in misery in the process. He has worked extremely hard and there’s absolutely no doubt about it, but he takes audiences for granted, and thus earns their wrath. At a time when the entire industry safely bets on comedy, ‘6 Candles’ tries to break that mould with high emotion. But watching the film, one wishes that at least one character was intelligent enough to stop crying and think with a straight head. I think audiences by now do not really need to be told what happens to a child who gets kidnapped, many of them end up begging on streets, or are pushed into prostitution. Showing what happens to kidnapped children was perhaps not necessary at all, and it might have helped make the narrative a powerful thriller, instead.

How To Use Old Doilies To Make Beautiful Candleholders

However, if you have old doilies from Grandma or if you just love them and would like to find a way to incorporate them into your home decor, consider using them to make gorgeous candleholders. Supplies for Making Doily Candleholders Old doilies Glass vases suitable for holding candles (vases need to be deep enough that the candle will be at least two inches below the top of the container) Hot glue Buttons, pearls, tulle, ribbon and other decorative elements for embellishing Instructions for Making Doily Candleholders The doilies will be wrapped around the glass container. The easiest way to do this so that you put the doily on evenly is to start at the middle of the doily. Arrange the doily on the vase so that it doesnt reach below the bottom of the vase. Do not worry if it is taller than the candle. Start by gluing from the center bottom of the doily. Use a dot of glue to fix the center edge of the doily to the bottom of the vase. Carefully and evenly stretching your doily, continue to glue the center of the doily along the length of the vase.

These Candleholders Have Style To Burn

Wanted: Vases, Vials, and Candleholders for Tchotchke-loving Minimalists

Like pierced tin chandeliers, light shines through the openings, creating intriguing patterns. Candleholders with mirrored bases as well as those made of mercury glass also lend their reflective qualities. Wood candleholders are perennial favorites. Dark woods have increased in popularity, as they have in furniture design, and their placement has a grounding impact similar to that of black. A contemporary option is a long, narrow container or tray with recessed spaces for a row of round tea lights. It makes a simple architectural statement as a centerpiece on a dining table or on a cocktail table. Wood pillar holders can be grouped for visual strength. Whimsy and drama Figural pieces are popular among enthusiasts who deck the halls and adorn each room with ornaments, garlands and the like for Christmas. These include angels, Santas and reindeer, among others. They can be dramatic, including the regally Florentine-style garbed angels with gold wings, each arm holding a candle, and Santas with flowing robes and golden staffs available this season from Horchow.

Candleholders fire up drama

Over time, candleholders have been crafted from metal, glass or crystal, porcelain, ceramic, resin and wood, as well as mixed media. From holders to accommodate short votives to tall tapers some extend up to nearly 4 feet to candelabra whose multiple “arms” housing lights can be significantly wide. Price tags range from under $1 to nearly $9,000 for a Baccarat crystal candelabrum. Shape is pushing the design envelope. Among the newest designs are engaging sculptural looks that celebrate form. A dragon shape interpreted in richly detailed nickel-coated brass was designed by Josie Natori, and is available at Neiman Marcus. An organic interpretation of the traditional menorah is handsomely hand-carved out of a single piece of mango wood.

20 Candle votives under $20

The new line of household and desk items from the British brand Minimalux has a Victorian soul and a Modernist face. Many of the objects are quaint to the point of being silly — who outside of Liz Taylor would use a pill vial nowadays? — but stripped of decorative flourishes and done up in shiny metals, they adopt an irresistible contemporary sheen. On pure aesthetic grounds, they’re stunning. The collection includes vases, candleholders, eating utensils (yes, that’s a spork below), pill tubes, and a curious, spinning desktop gizmo (above), which the press release calls “a mirror, a stress reliever, an aid for thinking” or something to enjoy ?for its formal presence.” Everything’s made in England, drawing on production processes that hark back to the nation’s rich engineering history. Minimalux has also unveiled several products that look almost identical to its first line only they’re color anodized (below and up top). This is the second collection from Minimalux, the luxury design company Established & Sons cofounder Mark Holmes formed at the apogee of the recession a year and a half ago.

Homemade Candle Holders: DIY Ideas For Tealights, Votives And More

Drinking glasses are just great for holding your votives. Heres a super sly trick to keep the wax from adhering to the dish, thus ruining it: put about a centimeter of water in the bottom. It wont disturb the candle and it will keep the wax from sealing tight. Sissie’s Shabby Cottage via Hometalk.com Upside-Down Wine Glass A wine or champagne glass, flipped on its head, makes an elegant and unexpected candle display. The base is naturally inverted making it perfect to hold a tea light, which looks lovely suspended on the tall delicate stem. For extra pizzazz, add a pretty object underneath the glass. Its like a miniature bell jar! Something like a big bright flower (no stem, just the bloom flush on the table), or a pine cone, or a sea shell.

Rihanna Releases New Fragrance Ad (video)

In the ad, the Diamonds singer wears a tiny black dress that slips down her shoulders, and stilettos, toying with the camera to the song Right Now. The video cuts between Rihanna sitting on a chair, working her stuff for the shoot, and behind-the-scenes shots of the star preparing for the ad, observes E! Online . The fragrance itself, which is a mix of lemon blossom, cyclamen, jasmine, rose, plum, suede, patchouli, vanilla and amber, has as much femininity as Rihanna shows off in the commercial. According to Wonder Wall , this fragrance is all about Rihanna and who she is. “People are always changing and evolving, and with Rogue, my new fragrance, I wanted to switch it up to reflect who I am today. It’s a personal fragrance that’s more self-aware. It’s Rogue, it’s me,” the singer said. But just because it’s modeled after her personality doesn’t mean that it’s not fit for every woman out there. “This scent embodies demure feminine qualities yet carries into an audacious new moment, she continued.

The pink grapefruit, wild berries and red currants, combined with the delicacy of jasmine petals, and frangipani with the dry, woody tones of musk and patchouli leave an enticing and playful scent on the skin. The band worked closely with fragrance experts in choosing their favorite scents and was involved in every step of the creation process, including the design of the bottle and packaging. The collection, available in store and online, ranges in price from $15 to $59.50 and includes Eau de Parfum (available in 1.7 oz and 3.4 oz), shower gel and body wash, as well as a rollerball available only at macys.com.
