Beware, the wax

I used to have tremendous fun lining up empty wine bottles, jamming skinny candles into them, then waiting for a waterfall of wax to cling to the glass. Until, that is, my oak table top became smattered with gluey lumps of dried-on wax. Beware Time to buy a real candelabra, I think.

Tip: Try Melody Maison for French, chintzy ones. Though steer clear of white. Too weddingy.
