EARTH-FRIENDLY
Everyone seems to be going “green” these
days. If you want to get in on the trend, candleholders made of bamboo—an easily renewable resource—offer an attractive way to enjoy nature indoors or under a covered patio. Pictured here are individual holders paired with votive candles or tea lights. Find them at Cost Plus World Market stores or online at worldmarket.com.
