Description
This scented candle brings a little countryside charm indoors, with a field mouse and a tangle of blackberry bramble painted in a soft watercolour style around its tinted pink vessel. The mouse perches on a bramble stem holding a ripening berry, while clusters of dark and red blackberries climb from the base and tumble from the rim, so the design looks lovely from every side. It is a 250g candle, and its pale blush wax glows through the pink, with a round lid in a pale honey tone closing the top. It stands about 11.8cm tall, 7.8cm wide and 8.2cm deep, a neat size for a shelf or bedside table.
We think it suits a sitting room, a bedroom or a reading corner, anywhere you want a softer, cosier feel at the end of the day. The hedgerow design sits happily with cottage style rooms, country kitchens and floral schemes, and the dusky pink pairs well with warm woods, cream linens and dried flowers. A burn time of up to 50 hours means it lasts through plenty of quiet evenings rather than one or two nights. It also makes a thoughtful gift, and the lid keeps it looking neat for wrapping.
The candle is poured from a blend of 70% soy wax and 30% paraffin wax around a single wick. For an even burn, let the first lighting run until the melted wax reaches the edge, trim the wick before each use and stand the candle on a stable, level surface away from draughts. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it out of reach of children and pets. Once it has cooled, pop the lid back on to keep dust off the wax, and wipe the outside with a soft dry cloth. Grouped with a stack of books and a sprig of greenery, it brings a gentle country note to a mantelpiece or side table.
