Hi Friends
Happy Friday
It was a fun romantic and memorable night last night at our house
The power went out around 3 in the afternoon
here in Southern California
5 million people were without power
when the sun went down
it was dark everywhere traffic lights were not working,
stores were closed, restaurants were closed, phones were not working
no computer, no television
so we lit the candles
and felt transported back in time

Being the romantic that I am

We had dinner
by candlelight and we used this
vintage enamelware candle holder
to walk from room to room
just imagine what it was like to only live by candle light
Grateful I bought the large box of candles at Ikea

This candle holder in the bedroom was all aglow
fun to see all the dripped wax on the edge this morning
I found candles in every room
glad we blew them ALL out before we went to bed last night

Candles on the dining table
More candles on the buffet
Vintage White Ironstone candle holder this one even holds the matches
I did not realize we had lit so many candles
until I looked around the house this morning

Sparklers were fun to play with too
We even ate all the ice cream in the freezer
{it was going to melt anyway}
The power came back on around 2 this morning
How wonderful to spend the evening with no electricity
romantic saying for today

ReplyDeleteI love it when sometimes we have to power down and go slowly. Reconnects us I think.
ReplyDeleteAs long as the power isn't out too long. I love all the romance and mysteriousness of candle light!!

I heard about this on the news--sounds like you actually enjoyed it. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteI love candlelight, too. Good think you had made an Ikea run! Plus, everyone looks prettier in candlelight! I am glad it wasn't off too long, though.
