I played around with my mantle late this afternoon as the sun was going down.
The beeswax candles have such a lovely soft glow when they are lit. I prefer them to most other candles. I have noticed on the series TURN on AMC they use beeswax candles for authenticity. They really do give a beautiful light.
A favorite small oil painting...
...complete with a few sheep in the meadow and a simple cottage
...a few green sea urchins
...and my favorite ivy.
Simple greens and the glow of candles...a perfect pairing for a spring mantle.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Enjoy the day,
Robyn
A beautiful warm glow to warm the heart on a rainy evening. This is just like magic.
