Colossal Capri Blue Mercury Glass Candle - oh my


Credit: Anthropologie

Okay, if you want to make a huge statement somewhere in your home, go get this stunning candle at Anthropologie. The brand Capri Blue makes the most beautiful, soy wax blend candles, as well as the most amazingly scented ones. Yes, this 141 oz., mottled mercury glass one will set you back $178. But let's say you need a new coffee table in your tv/living room and don't have the cash to shell out for a really nice one. Put this mammoth candle on your current coffee table and voila! Your new table has taken on a new life. It's almost like adding sparkly diamond earrings to brighten up your face.

This one comes in the incredible, exotic Volcano scent - a luscious mix of tropical fruits, sugared oranges, lemons, and limes. Just heaven. It has a five wicks on it, with a 250-hour burn time. The impressive size is 6.5 inches high by 9 inches in diameter. And my favorite part - handmade in the good 'ol USA.

When you've burnt the last bit of candle, pop it in your freezer for about half an hour and like magic, the remnant wax pieces will just pop out when you take it out of the freezer. Then you'll have a beautiful mercury glass container to use as a vase, as storage, or whatever.

If you don't have the $178 at the moment ('cause you spent some of it buying the Fujifilm Instax mini camera I told you to go get in one of my previous posts!), don't worry. The mottled mercury glass version also comes in three smaller sizes: $12/2.5 oz. mini size (so cute I want to carry it in my bag), the $28/24 oz., and $88/75 oz. size. Go to Anthropologie, look at it, smell it, hold it, think about it, then get it.
