Dave's cousin Patsy makes candles every year and gives them as Christmas gifts. The candle on the left in the rear is one she made for us. It's at least ten years old. We burned it a few times but as you can see it's fairly faded and not particularly attractive. The other larger candles are in the same boat (burned and unattractive).
The two small candles are brand new and still in their wrappers. Guess where they're from? KMart! I found these candles at KMart! I bought these and several others to use with centerpieces on the dining room table. I went a little overboard and bought more than I needed. I have five others that have been used a few times. They may last the rest of our lives so I think I can safely get rid of the two that are unopened.
I want to clarify something: I don't spend a lot of time at KMart although several of my posts may give you that impression. I'm not a shopper. I spend as little time as possible in stores. There's a problem with that though: when I need something I don't know where to get it. So inevitably I go to KMart which is only a few miles from my house. They're building a Target about a mile from my house. It's supposed to open later this year. Perhaps Target will become my new nemesis.
