...and "French Lavender".
As promised, here are some photos of my dressing table so that you can see my new lamp.
In this photo, the old cream lamp is still in place...
...and it is still working but looks rather 'tired' (I think a new lampshade and a move to another room is in order). As you can see, I have a number of pieces of amber coloured glassware on the dressing table so that was the colour scheme I decided to go with when looking for a new lamp.
This is what I have replaced it with...
...an electric wax warmer from the "Golden Sands" range of accessories by Woodwick that are available at the
Fragrance Boutique in Barleylands.
These warmers work really well and the wax melts quite quickly...
...so you end up with a lovely scent in the room where it is. However, they also make lovely table lamps...
...so you get 'two for the price of one'. Unfortunately, my photo doesn't give a very good representation of the lovely warm colours that the gold & amber glass give.
At the moment I'm using a mix of Colonial Candles "French Lavender" and Classic Candles "Lavender Vanilla". I'm not a fan of vanilla (I usually find it too sickly and overpowering) but this seems to be just enough to 'soften' the lavender scent making it perfect for the bedroom.
It has certainly helped with my sleeping, which has to be a good thing when it is so busy & quite stressful at work at the moment.......................................................................

Oh Toni that really is ever so pretty - I bet the light off it gives the room a lovely feeling too!
Just catching up, makes me want to light a candle. I do use them much more in the winter though but I love the smell. I have a salted caramel one I don't want to use. This is very pretty
Lovely peep at the dressing table. Jx
