Time to get back into blogging, bit by bit.

Last night, Hubby and I were at that font of “I’m not sure I like it, but isn’t it well designed,” a.k.a. IKEA. As y’all know, I think the flaming chalice, though not bad, is an uninspiring and increasingly amorphous emblem. Also, some of the commissioned ones I’ve seen are hideous. It could be better.

That said, as a side-effect of my now-retired quest for the best communion gear available from usual commercial sources (I settled on some of the heritage pewter still made) I still keep my eye open for secular goods that can be pressed into sacred service.

Using a cut-down pillar candle, this candleholder might be just the thing, especially for those smallish fellowships in the middle of the country who have or rent mid-century buildings. Also, it isn’t heavy.
