basil garden candles

I buy fresh basil every time I’m at the farmers market.  I can’t resist it’s fresh aroma and taste, of course!   I spotted this garden candle at Terrain.  wouldn’t it be fun to have your kitchen smell like basil all year long?  I love that it’s in a cute weck jar too.

    Oh my! I love the shape of this candle. This is how I am with Cilantro. I use it every chance I get. And a cilantro candle is my favorite. Too fun!

    Mmmmm, I’d love to have my kitchen smell like Cilantro all the time. I think it’s delicious, but I know so many people who don’t like it all–apparently it tastes “metallic”? I don’t know.

    what a perfect combo — soy candle and a lovely weck jar. and I’m sure you can use the jar once you’ve burned the candle down.

    Brilliant! I’m convinced there’s no better smell in the world. Just made some fresh pesto today.
