Let’s make Harvest Candle Holders.

Don’t forget to enter our wonderful GIVEAWAY from Meadowsweet Naturals.

After yesterday’s horrible spider’s nest pumpkin, we decided to make something sweet and calming for today. We are enjoying the early darkness as, each night, at our evening meal, we light a candle as we sing our blessing. The kids take turns to blow it out when the meal is over… being the ‘candle blower’ is a big deal and there is much discussion over whose turn it is . Funny to us as there are only two of them to choose from… either you blew it out last night or you didn’t… dah! But, to them, it’s very important that they get it right… wouldn’t want to miss YOUR turn.

Today we made little apple and pumpkin candle holders.


All we needed was an apple and a small pumpkin, a sharp knife, and apple corer and a candle.


We cored the apple…


Making the hole just big enough for the candle to sit in snugly.


Isn’t it too pretty…

We did the same with the miniature pumpkin, using the sharp knife to score the hole for the candle.


Our home is starting to look wonderfully ‘harvesty’.

On a side note; the apple candle holder did not make it through the whole meal. It just looked too delicious, flickering with golden light. Teddy had it for desert!

Happy Halloween week,

Just a heads up to look out for a super Giveaway that is coming up… I’ll post details soon.

Blessings and magic,
Donni

  1. Lady, you are so full of ideas, you both inspire and make me feel bad!

    You are lucky to live in pumpkin land! I live in sweet potato land… not much you can do with that…?!

    Keep posting because I will read them, and implement the ideas in my classroom x

  2. We have candle blowing at the end of a meal too. If they have a clean plate they can blow out the candle. With three of them, I am getting very good at relighting the smoke. Love the pumpkin candle holder. Too perfect.
