Here are a couple of photos of my (formally my grandmother's) entire Gurley candle collection. If I keep up blogging, maybe I will continue to highlight certain candles during Decembers to come.
Keep in mind my aunt has a few, my sister has several, there are also Easter, Halloween, and Thanksgiving models, and quite a lot were damaged and lost over time so the original collection was quite impressive. One of my aunts said my grandmother and her collection were in a Chicago paper once (decades ago), but I've never been able to track that down.
I also should mention there are non-Gurley makes in here as well. That's okay. The more the merrier!
Nothing says "Christmas" to me quite like the smell of old wax and limp, yellowed tissue paper. Maybe I need to get out more!
Enjoy!
I love these. They remind me of my childhood and what could be better than old yellowed tissue paper :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous collection! I love how they're displayed, too.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful! I would rather have vintage Christmas things than anything else! Happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteI've come back to these old posts to see your Gurleys. :-)
