We don’t like to double blog, however when this hit my inbox from Design Files this morning I couldn’t resist. These candles from Queen Bee for Earth hour are such a simple, brilliant idea that we had to share with you. They are made in Australia from 100% pure beeswax which is smoke free, non-toxic  and non-allergenic.
