11 Nov Making candles

Katie and i went to Goodwill and bought all of the beautiful old saucer-less tea cups we could find. We probably spent an hour pouring through them, laughing at the strange ones, oohing over the beautiful ones. There were a surprising number of lonely cups from rather well-known pottery places, including: Royal Stratfordshire, Joseph Schachtel, John Maddock, Royal Copenhagen, Rosenthal, and others.

We got the idea from Martha Stewart, but we were firm on the candles being vegan and not causing toxic fumes, so we went to Zenith Supply to pick up soy wax.
