While at Fairfield Commons the other day with my parents I saw a sign on the door of one of those rustic primitive shops that advertised wooden wick candles that crackle and pop like a real fire. I went in and bought two, cinnamon bun and mulled cider. They're in a mason jar and have a rusted top, very cute.
I am in love with these things! They aren't the same as a fire but they are a pretty good substitute. I think if you had several of them lit at once the effect would be pretty close.
Now I just have to find the right antique fireplace mantle to complete my master plan...
What brand are they - I'm sooo interested in these? I've done searches on the internet, but would like to do a sniff test first!
ReplyDeleteDeb, they say Scentual Candles Inc. on the bottom, other than that nothing.
ReplyDeleteI did find Woodwick candles (same idea but more contemporary looking) at Elder Beermans but I haven't tried them.
Okay, tried the Woodwick candles - not overly excited. Is your crackling and popping very loud/noticable? Mine remind me of a blow torch sound - more of a hissing with a few slight tsk sounds... awesome smell though!!!
ReplyDeleteMine are definitely more crackly. The ones I have have a bigger wick than the Woodwick ones, maybe that makes a difference?
ReplyDeleteI also have two of them, I think that helps too.
