Last Christmas, DH got me cute owl candles. I've just finished burning one.
To put that into context, the glass measures up to two tablespoons of liquid. The owl is diddy!
I was thinking about it being perfect for air plants or tiny succulents, then I remembered the swarms of aphids that descended on the chilli plants, so perhaps artificial tiny succulents. Or I could donate them and someone else could get the benefit. But they're so cute!
I'm readying myself for an early night. Tesco's Christmas delivery slots are released tomorrow to those paying for delivery savers, like me, and they open at 6am. To be honest, I'll be extremely surprised if I can't get a slot on 23rd December even if I log in later. The demand for them seems to have dropped over the last few years. Besides, I'll have most of the snacks, goodies, and frozen food already in. My Christmas pudding came today and that's just the start. And I have no shame that I'll be buying ready made practically everything. Mind you, I'm also going to be saving space in the freezer to pack away frozen bags of whatever the stupidly cheap veggies the supermarkets are giving out. If they're offering bags of carrots and parsnips for 20p again, my freezer is going to be rammed with soup!
Writing stuff - I'm considering the whole Nyla story and I don't think that it's working how I would like it. This means that instead of returning to that, I've republished an old favourite of mine here - I Never Knew Her Name.
Hugs and good health to all.
Cute owl container - could you put a tealight candle in it? Use it as a vase for a display of miniature flowers (either fresh, dried, or artificial)? Maybe use it to hold a couple of pens or pencils for writing lists, etc.?
ReplyDeleteA tealight might work, though it would be a snug fit. I'm looking at artificial succulents. They're very popular over here and they won't fall prey to those dratted aphids.
DeleteI have some tiny chickens that size that are just ornaments I put out at Easter. I would just display it alongside something else on my mantlepiece like some foliage and pinecone. Would it take a tealight or those tiny candles or maybe it would be useful to keep upright matches in it like they are selling now in the shops to light candles. I am sure it would have a use, but like you say someone else might benefit from it.
ReplyDeleteA tealight would be a snug fit. Matches might be a good idea, or even cotton buds.
DeleteCould you buy some scented tealight candles and burn them in the owl
ReplyDeletetealights might be a snug fit. I may be able to manage with a votive candle, but I was wondering about artificial succulents. There are six candles in the set so I can try out a few things once they've all been burned.
