Description
This orange and cinnamon scented candle brings a robin indoors, painted in soft watercolour tones on a jar of pale duck-egg blue wax. The little bird stands on a slender twig with his russet breast to the light, surrounded by tiny flecks of copper, blue and grey that drift across the jar like scattered seeds. Behind him the wax has a calm, misty blue colour, and the jar deepens to a smoky grey towards its base. A pale wood-tone lid sits on top. The 250g candle stands 11.8cm tall, 7.8cm wide and 8.2cm deep, a neat size for a shelf or windowsill.
We like it anywhere scent and a little garden wildlife would be welcome: a living room mantelpiece, a bedside table, a kitchen dresser or the hall table where guests arrive. Orange and cinnamon is a warm, homely pairing of bright citrus and soft spice that suits cosy evenings with the curtains drawn. The robin gives it an easy charm for anyone who loves garden birds, and the blue wax sits happily beside cream, grey, sage and natural wood. It makes a thoughtful gift that looks lovely the moment it is unwrapped.
The robin sits on the front of the jar, and the lid lifts off when it is time to light the candle, then settles back once the wax has cooled to keep dust away between uses. Trim the wick before each lighting, burn it on a stable, level surface away from draughts, curtains, children and pets, and never leave a burning candle unattended. Wipe the cool jar with a damp cloth and dust the lid with a soft dry cloth. For a pretty finish, set it on a small tray beside a short stack of books, with the lid close by.
