Evergreen Bobeches

Until I saw these I had no idea what a bobeche was. It is a little glass collars meant to catch dripping candle wax, in case you didn't know either.

All you need is wire, some evergreen leaves (bay-laurel leaves, boxwood or juniper branch tips will work too) and these directions.

So after spending a while here reading some of you past posts, I can't believe that your not famous already. Commenting first on my blog is nothing compared to find Candy Cane Oreos and sharing it with the world (or just me). You are rockin' girlfriend!

I have always wondered what those things are called! I'm going to impress my family the next time we're together by using that word. : )
