Let There Be (Candle) Light

The days are shorter, and we are in full swing of the holiday season. I am sure candles were on your Thanksgiving table, and as we move forward to serious winter, there is nothing more perfect than the warmth of candle light.

Candles are perfect for the gray clean light of winter

My Guest Picks at Houzz this month feature a great selection of candle holders - take a look!

Warm up winter with candles

We are well into Hanukkah, the ultimate celebration of light

Candles and winter greens

Pile on and layer those candlesticks

Or keep it simple and beautiful

Classic  silver candlesticks just waiting for the candles

Line your walkway with candles when company comes over

I use candles in winter more than any other time of year. 
What about you?

Tiffany Blue Festival Of Lights

This weekend starts Hanukkah. Over the years decorating mavens have made this holiday a stylish opportunity in their homes. The strong more trad royal blue used in Hanukkah decorations has softened to the on-trend soft Tiffany blue.

The whole room has a theme - Even the book shelves have touches of blue -  by Design Megillah

The tabletop - Mod Tiffany blue

Plastic dreidels as vase filler

The mantel is clean and simple and modern - I love the garland

It's a  DIY project made from plastic Hanukkah gelt, and it you go to Design Megillah she tells you how to do it

Happy Hanukkah y'all!
