With fall quickly approaching, I've been working tirelessly to put together a gift collection with exceptional products to delight YOU at home, as well as enchantingly beautiful gifts you can give this season. Thank you so very much for making our launch of this autumn collection so amazing!! We are shipping out autumn beauty to you 24/7. One of my very favorite new additions to our gift collection are these candles. They truly are so special! I fell in love with them when I first saw Martha Stewart talk about them on her show years ago {which I watched religiously, did you?} and since then, we've come to love these unscented, long burning taper candles so very much every season here at FrenchGardenHouse. Especially for using on our table settings, because scented candles shouldn't ever be placed on a table when serving food. You want the delicious aroma of your gourmet creations to gently scent the air, only. There are plenty of celebrity endorsements for these candles, but just between you and me, I try everything I add to our gift collections myself. If I don't love them, it doesn't matter who says they are great! I LOVE these taper candles so much, and hope that you will too! Candles add the most flattering light you can have in any room in your home, don't you agree? Candles have the power to change your rooms, they illuminate the most memorable and special events of your life. Every autumn table setting I create always has candles. If you have read me long enough, you might remember that I've said before that a glowing candle next to the sink even makes doing the dishes more enjoyable! {try it} These luxury artisan candles are exceptional. Their soft flickering glow adds romance and a warm feeling that no battery operated candle can produce. Nothing excites me as much as lighting the candles just before dark on an autumn afternoon. Any meal at home is instantly an event {even for one or just the two of you!}, that small, delightful flame just brings joy, and has the power to bring us together. AND...candlelight casts a soft glow over everything, who doesn't love how candlelight makes us look? This season, I've chosen beautiful, lush colors for the tapers in our collection. Each 12" luxury taper is hand made, hand dipped, and created with such care by a family business here in the USA. Each burns for about 9 hours. The colors are classic: I've combined a beautiful set of boxed tapers with stunning decorator matches for a truly wonderful host or hostess gift, tied with our signature satin ribbon. And added a custom gift tag, so that this gift is ready to go. You can stock your gift armoire with a few of these and know that you are ready for any gifting occasion this season. My goal is to make your gifts truly memorable by paying attention to the details that elevate these candles into something personal and meaningful. I love all the colors in this fall collection of candles, but my current favorite is LE MARRON. A deep, rich chestnut color, it looks beautiful with every interior and place setting colors. {Try it with navy blue and white!} These are all the colors in the collection:

COUNTRY PUMPKIN

LE MARRON {Chestnut}

FRENCH MERLOT

PARISIAN GRES

I hope you enjoy giving these luxury candle gift sets to people you love {hopefully people you share a delightful meal or weekend with!} and treat yourself to a few sets, too. Because in this season of beauty, there is nothing as gracious and welcoming than lighting the candles at home.
