Glowing Glass

 

When I picked up some mercury glass votives from Anthropologie on a whim, I had no idea how much I'd love them. Now it's how I want all my candles to live out their short lives. The glass makes the candlelight glow more lovely, warm and flickery than usual.

    Oh, how stunning! I need a whole collection of them for my room. And the living room. And maybe the mantle over the fireplace too...
