I collect antique and vintage china. It’s definitely not a problem. I definitely don’t have way too much of it. I definitely have enough space. It’s definitely, totally not getting out of hand at all.
Now that that’s out of the way, I just had to share this with y’all, because seriously, how cute is it?
I went to a farmers market in the next village over a few weeks ago and came across a booth selling teacups and saucers made into candles. I’m not crafty, and as we’ve established, I love vintage and antique china. So, of course I bought two.
They live on my mantle now, and I don’t know if I’ll ever light them, because though they smell lovely, they’re just so adorable and I like them just as they are.
(And truth be told, I bought four. But I only kept two. So it’s fine.)

The teacups are so sweet, that is a cute idea with the candles too!

Right? I would have never thought of it!

Ha ha! Even if it got out of hand, it would be no bad thing as presumably the teacups can still be used for tea once you’ve used the candle, if you ever use the candle! This post made me chuckle 😊

That’s exactly what I thought! They’ll definitely be usable again once the wax is gone.

Cool! I make candles and I have unused tea cups sitting around. I bought a dedicated wax melting pot from a thrift store.

I’ve always wanted to learn to make candles. Seeing these, I especially want to. I’m not very crafty, but it looks like fun. 🙂
