Anyone care to post pictures of your Halloween candles? Flicker, traditional, Yankee, Grubby, homemade, primitive -- all are welcome here.

I don't have these but would love to get them!

I just threw away my extreme favorite, and last fall candle. All burnt up this weekend.

Fig & Acorn, from Bath and Bodyworks.

I'll see if I can take some pix. But as far as Halloween candles, my favorite by far is Dark Candles' "Dark Carnival," along with "Bonfire." I burn these throughout the year to keep the spirit alive.... I also love some of Dark Candles' other, less Halloween-themed scents such as Black Rose. I'm a big fan of the matching scented oils, too. Love my oil burner!

I used to loooooooooooooove Illumination's Pumpkin Spice, by far the best pumpkin scent I've ever tried, but Illuminations is now out of business. They were really expensive but wonderful.

Anyone out of their favorite Fall-themed candle should.... go buy more. That's just me

The fig and acorn is only for sale during the fall season.

Haha, next time you'll know to buy several! But seriously.... find something else you like and substitute. What I did was tried Dark Candles' Halloween pack. You get a box of 6 [I think] votives, each a different scent. This allows you to make an informed choice... and the owner always includes a wax melt or two of a scent not included in whatever you order, so you can slowly try out more scents. I'm a total addict....

I'm in the biggest pile of mess you've ever seen trying to reorganize things to actually be liveable at the moment, and just finally finished packing Halloween / Christmas away in their new storage containers / closet stack. So, not digging out for a better pic, but it's this one Pumpkinrot also bought this last year at either HomeGoods or TJ Maxx (they carried it both places).

I actually have more Halloween candle holders than actual candles, so I'll post pictures of them.

As for Halloween/Fall scented candles, I have to say that I go nutso for Yankee Candle's Pumpkin Buttercream. Sooo delicious-smelling. I also love MacIntosh Spice, Mountain Lodge and Pumpkin Pie. Mountain Lodge actually reminds me of my grandfather. ♥

But here are my candle holders:


We used this as part of our centerpiece at our wedding. It's Yankee Candle's Boney Bunch Bride & Groom.


My Yankee bottle tealight holders and the ANCIENT ceramic jack o'lantern tealight holder that I've had since I was a baby.


Witchy tealight lantern.


Oh boy, there are a lot in this one. First there's the haunted house tealight holder. Then there are the two frosted tealight/votive holders. Then there are the two bigger lanterns in the back. Oh, and my beloved Sherlock Holmes nutcracker...


My grandfather (the one who smelled like Mountain Lodge) made these wall sconces, and I bought the glittery orange candles to match the AWESOME witchy art my mom got me.

Here is a picture of our graveyard with candles we made

Those are certainly some cool pics. Since I started the thread, I'll have to get my own act together and take some pics, lol. I also like to put votives in an electric melter, as the scents get drawn out for weeks depending on how good the candle is. We have some vintage Yankess candles that I won't burn, as they go for a lot on E-bay and are rarer every year.
