gypsy life: holiday decor - candles, envelopes

have you seen the Pottery Barn candles? well we absolutely love them and as we've discovered, so does our gypsy Vicki! 
 she created such a wonderful decor item using the 7gypsies life tissue paper and some cream colored candles! so simple...and probably 1/4 the price of the Pottery Barn ones!
 we adore the way she dipped the bottom of the candles in epsom salt - it looks like snow!
 such a cute ensemble wrapped up in a gorgeous ribbon, some fake holly, gypsy hardware and the JOY tag!
 how perfect is this for a table centerpiece, sitting on a side table in a hallway or entryway or in a bathroom?! swooooon....
 paula created this perfect little envelope to hold gift cards! 
and this even larger envelope to hold a christmas card!
