Item 30: A candle mug


I don't burn candles for a number of reasons.  I'm very sensitive to scents; they trigger migraine headaches for me. I've also worked in the insurance industry for 30 years so I'm cognizant of the things that can go wrong when fire is involved.  I'd rather avoid those things.  We burn candles on birthday cakes.  We burn candles that are part of a center piece for a holiday table.  We have candles in our fireplace and occasionally burn them instead of lighting a fire in the fireplace.

I won this candle mug as a door prize this past summer at an orientation event held for ladies who had volunteered to mentor local high school juniors.  Unfortunatley the mentor program hasn't gone well for me and my student.  She has been ill, has been out of school and is being home schooled.  As a result she hasn't been able to attend the mentor events and we haven't been able to establish a relationship.

Back to the candle mug.  It's a nice solid mug.  It has a pretty blue candle in it.  It's brand new and never been used.  Certainly someone in Lancaster County will want this item!
