Time for Blue Monday again. Please click on the Blue Jay to visit our host, Smiling Sally and see who else is participating in this weekly event.
It is a dark and wet Monday here in SE Michigan. The darkness made me think of showing you one of my battery operated candles, the one with blue flowers and birds on it.
I have used battery operated tea-lights during the holiday season so that I could have a candle effect in difficult to reach spots or in areas where an open flame was dangerous. I was never impressed with their appearance or candlelight effect. A friend encouraged me to try pillar candles by Candle Impressions, sold on QVC as well as various brick and mortar stores. I bought a set of three plain white pillars that have a timer option. They come on the same time every day and turn off 5 hours later. I like them so much, I bought two with this pattern recently. One is in my upstairs bathroom, and this one is on the corner table in my stair landing.
My husband is extremely wary of unattended candles so these fit his comfort zone. I like their appearance and glow. They are made of wax with an LED embedded. They look like candles that have burned down in the center with a darkened wick, not a plastic flame shaped appendage on top.
True candle lovers may not care for anything less than the real thing, but I think these could find a useful (practical and safe) place in most homes.
I took this mini-video last night so that I could capture the flickering effect of the candle, not realizing the audio from the western my husband was watching was going to be heard so clearly. Oops!

I've seen these and been tempted to buy them. Now that you've spoken, I will get one! Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue Monday.
I have always heard good things about these, but never really see them in stores. They are perfect for those of us who like a romantic glow without fear!
How cute! I've never seen a battery operated candle.
What fun...I loe the little video! I have bought the votive candles and pillar battery operated candles for the same reasons you give. It makes me very nervous to have a candle burning unless right at the table. Othewise i feel i must stick close to watch the candle.
I love these battery operated candles too. And some of them really smell good. Yours are very pretty...Christine
I have seen these and think I would just love them...gotta try and see.
I love rainy, dark, cloudy days more than anything!! Just my perfect day! I always feel better in those kind of days than any other time.
Thanks so much for coming by to see me...

I've seen these on QVC and have been tempted to get them. I like the fact that they are on a timer. I keep forgetting to turn the little tea light ones off and I drain the battery.
Hi Knitty, I love your candles.
Happy Blue Monday.
