...an orange candle...

...we had seen this idea bandied about the web and thought we'd give it a try...

...you should too...it's fun...it smells nice...and it burns for hours...
...peel an orange and leave a good sized chunk of the peel intact...
...pull up some of the white fibers and twist them together to form a wick...
...be patient with the lighting...use a lighter instead of matches...it will take a while to get it to stay lit...

Instructions here...

~Have a lovely day!
