Handcrafted cedar fireplace votive holders purchased at Vernonia First Friday.

I'm thrilled with my new cedar votive holders for my fireplace - a custom order from a very talented artisan, Joker, that I met while a vendor in May.

I had an a-ha moment - isn't it true you find the best things when you aren't really looking? Our fireplace needs repair (we don't use it for fires). Candles never seemed to have the right scale. It's such a large black hole, but with a pretty opening, I hesitated to cover it with a screen. Now it looks great during the day too, large pieces of cedar make perfect sense in a fireplace.
