Description
This ceramic candle holder takes the shape of a little terrace of three houses standing shoulder to shoulder under ribbed roofs, each with its own small chimney. Square windows and doorways are cut right through the walls, so a lit tea light inside sends patches of warm light out through every opening. The middle house carries the words "I'm EXACTLY where I NEED to be" in fine grey lettering, mixing capitals with flowing script, while delicate sprigs of leaves, a single daisy and a scattering of tiny hearts are drawn across the front. The white ceramic has a smooth, glossy finish, and the piece stands 12cm tall, 17.7cm wide and 7.5cm deep.
At 7.5cm deep it fits a narrow windowsill, a mantelpiece or a bookshelf, and at 12cm tall it sits in easy proportion beside books, frames and plants. It looks just as good unlit: by day it is a quiet white ornament carrying a kind message, and after dark the cut-out windows glow like a street of homes with the lights on. The words are a gentle reminder to feel settled and content, which is why we think it makes a thoughtful gift as much as a piece for your own home. The soft white suits pale, neutral rooms and sits happily against deeper colours too, where the glow shows up all the more.
A tea light slips in through the arched opening at the back, so the front stays clear. Stand it on a flat, stable surface away from curtains and anything that could catch, and never leave a burning candle unattended. Once it is cool, dust it with a soft dry cloth or wipe it with a damp cloth. For a cosy evening display, set it on the mantelpiece with a sprig of greenery either side, or wrap it with a box of tea lights for someone you know will love the words.
