{Making DIY candlesticks: 1. Lay a nest of blue-tack inside an egg cup; 2. Wedge in the base of a dinner candles securely; 3. Fill in the gap with craft moss}
Lately I’ve been appreciating the simplicity of a beautifully laid table and sit down evening meal. Since our dining table is my office, setting a table cloth and lighting a few candles is all about switching off and reconnecting. When it comes to dinner candles I have a strong preference for the tall, tapered, unscented variety. I’m on the lookout for the perfect antique silver candlesticks to hold them, but in the mean time I’m really enjoying these sweet little DIY’d egg cup stand-ins.
{Entertaining tip: pick up extra long matches to avoid burning fingers when lighting lots of candles around the room.}

Sitting with family for a meal at the dinner table is sadly becoming a lost custom – love these ideas for sprucing up meal time! x jas
Hi Jas, We don’t manage the sit down dinner all that often during the week, but it’s really nice when we do make the effort… it’s going to be a lot easier to move away from eating on the couch now that Masterchef is over! It is amazing how the glow of a couple candles (as opposed to the TV or laptop screen) can completely transform (calm) the vibe of a room!
Have a great weekend!
