Light 'Em Up

Matchbox Edition

I light candles every day in autumn and winter. If I’m at home for the day, then I light them first thing. If not, it’s within minutes of walking back through the door. These are my favourite candles to buy in bulk, but Ikea have lots of options too.

I have lots of different sizes of matchboxes from Bryant & May, Cooks, and Ship, but my all-time favourite are the Danish Tordenskjold matchboxes.

If you also have a matchbox obsession, then here are some pretty and practical ways to display them around the place. These aren’t all strictly matchboxes, but all of the holders have a stricker on them, so I think they count.
