One item we will definitely be taking with us, will actually be returning to Michigan… a hand carved candle from Holland (Michigan) House Candles. We received it as a gift and didn’t realize the full artistry that goes into making such a candle until we watched the video.
Ours has been cored for using an LED votive insert and never burning the candle. The votive insert is a tiny bit of wizardry itself. A multi LED unit encased in a waxy base, it flickers, bobs and dances in a perfect imitation of a natural flame. Unable to find anywhere else on the web, it appears to be a true exclusive to Holland House.
Old world artistry and a dash of technology… it is lit almost every evening in our home.
