As a candle nut I simply adore the ambiance created by the soft glow of candles. The shadows dancing in magical shapes on the wall as they flicker and sway in the gentle movement of the air in the room. The scent wafting through the air can transport you to another time, another place, allowing you dive into pleasant memories of times past and also assiting you in creating new moments in time...
