I loved your photographs and your descriptions of the candles and of their method of using the cloches to keep each scent protected from the others.

You are absolutely right about thi...Dearest Sande,<br /><br />You are absolutely right about this! Certain gift shops make me leave in a hurry because of their artificially votive candles and such. Also the interior will get affected by the bad quality candles, look up at the ceiling where the black soot will collect...<br />On August 31 I did write also about another French candle, not as old as yours and not as regal, but still called the Rolls Royce of candles Point à la Ligne http://bit.ly/cEYQuT<br />If considering the cost of having to repaint your interior, these gems are still affordable! And besides, they burn so much longer than their cheap replicas.<br />Thanks for bringing this quality to your readers.<br />Sunny greetings from Georgia,<br /><br />MariettesBacktoBasicsMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574953613921369798.post-85690501464673092412010-10-25T12:01:34.339-04:002010-10-25T12:01:34.339-04:00I had no idea...this place is like the "Ladur...I had no idea...this place is like the "Laduree" of candle shops! I know you were inspired by the lovely black and gold wrap, so I can't wait to see what you might be able to do with that idea...<br />We love burning candles so much at our house, even lighting one while watching the football game last night with a big bowl of popcorn my sweetie made! I always love the gift (giving or receiving) of candles.<br />--Lee AnnThe French Maidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17446055517987585993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574953613921369798.post-33903229937529242352010-10-25T11:13:54.837-04:002010-10-25T11:13:54.837-04:00Such a beautiful shop.

I didn't realize that the wax candle busts were modeled after porcelain ones. How amazing the special custom wrapping that Ernesto did on your votives. I would buy several just to get that beautiful decal! Going to check out the "stink bombs" now. I think they are a "must have!"
