I popped a new candle out of its glass flamingo decorated coffin and put it in a larger once clear and full of wax but now sooty vessel I wanted to burn it but I bought it for my mother the flamingo enthusiast who has covered our house in flamingo cookie jars and curtains and little flamingo wine toppers so I bought the candle for 7.99 to add to the collection I knew she wouldn’t care about the candle as much as the jar it lived in so I rescued it briefly only to crush its hopes by replacing it immediately in an ill fitting ***** home where another of its kind had already died The problem I face is that this candle somehow escaped my murderous hands by burning so incredibly uneven that the wax consumed the wick rendering it completely unburnable I’m feeling a little disappointed but I suppose congratulations are in order
