I think the candle thing must be a genetic predispostion. I have loved candles my entire life, well as long as I can remember. When I was a kids, I would grab my grandma’s candleabra light all the candles and watch home movies by candlelight. I would even roast marshmallows by candle light using toothpicks!

Me too! My husband is always opening drawers and finding more and more candles that I tried to hide away!

Hi, my name is Pat and I too am a candleholic. Have been for eons and there is no desire to change. It just makes me feel better to have candles burning…all the time!

Ugh, I hate to admit it, but I have a problem with blankets, throws and pillows. Every room in the house has hundreds of them.

Yep, I’m with you. My sickness is more than one item though. Like you, I “collect” candles. So many that I find myself hiding the new ones from my husband because I don’t want to hear the remarks “why did you buy that when you have a hundred more at home?!” Bad, I know, but when I find them cheap or they smell exceptionally yummy I can’t help myself. I also hord picture frames (especially vintage ones from yard sales!), baskets, and glassware of all sorts because you never know when……

My decorating sickness(es) are chargers/dishes and placecard holders in cute little designs like pumpkins, bunnies, silver reindeer, etc. I have a complete weakness for seasonal tablescapes for my dining table.

Hi, My name is A-M, from Australia, and I am a ‘clock-a-holic’. Yep, pretty little clocks, in groups, tucked on shelves, in any little nook that needs a certain something to finish it off. Clocks.

“You are not alone…I am here with you…..”
You know, the Michael Jackson song???

Anyway, I was a “fabric-holic”…I say “was” b/c I’ve Kinda taken control & am able to yell back at the fabric as they chant…”take me home”…”you need me”…”Pick me, Pick me”…but I still have boxes & boxes & boxes stacked in my garage (ceiling to floor…no joke) b/c I can’t fit anymore in my craft room, which is a good size btw!!!

So, yeah…I feel your pain! (or joy, whichever you prefer)

With a toddler running around I’ve curbed my addiction to candles since they don’t get burned nearly as often or set out in nearly as many places. However, I did just replace the addiction with RIBBON. I buy tons of ribbon and sadly rarely use any of it. I just can’t say No… especially when Micheal’s or another craft store has a sale… if it’s on sale it MUST be bought. I keep saying that I’m going to use some of it to make hairbows and things for my daughter but so far the stash keeps growing and nothings is being used. At least when the day does come that I decide to start making things for her, her room, holidays etc. I will most likely have the perfect ribbon for it… even though if such an occasion came along I’d probably use it as an excuse to go shop for more ribbon. Ahhh. Yes, I have a problem!

Thanks for sharing your addiction with us!

Hi – my name is Julie and Im addicted to old books! I cant stop! I have them stashed around the house because I can’t decorate with them all. I love the way they look, I love when people write in the margins, I love that if they could talk they would have so many stories to tell. I search all the thrift stores and yard sales. I evn shop Goodwill online for old books. My favorite is an old leatherbound book from 1896. It is just amazing! and I would say I love candles too- but not quite to point of having to admit my addiction- yet.

How sad is this? My boyfriend decided that one of the drawers in his entertainment center needed to be dedicated to my candles. (I have so many!) Candles are a weakness. So is milkglass. And, platters – but I’m getting better at the platter thing. I’ve sworn them off. But, I’m a fool for candles.

My decorating addiction is, hands down, apothecary jars. In all forms, in all sizes.

And cake pedestals.

I suppose it’s no coincidence that each are associated with yummy treats–candy in the jars & cake on the pedestals.

I LOVE Candles, too! When we had everyone from our apartment building over for dinner I’m pretty sure they were thinking, ‘so this is the person who is a fire hazard to the apartment building.’ I also love Glass Objects. I’m sure this will all need to change once we have kids.

I have the issue opposite of yours – I have a TON of candle holders with not enough candles. I have been telling myself lately to knock it off. Really who needs THAT many candle holders, especially when I don’t have candles to put on them!?!

Uh, mine is totally candles! I am ridiculous as well, I have entire cabinets filled to the brim. I’m especially bad when Bath and Body Works has their ‘two for 20′ deals on the three wick candles – what a steal! I can’t help it! Obessed, I tell you!

Kimba, I wish it only ended with candles for me. Your’s is so organized! Kudo’s to you! For myself,I have accepted that I just have a addictive personality. I am addicted to: baskets, cookbooks, old dishes, white platters, antique kitchen gadgets, and that is only for the kitchen. Way to many things to list, but think you understand. I could use a 12-step program, let me know if you start one.

Have a lovely day!

Pillows. I’m addicted to pillows. And making pillows. And changing out pillows. My 3 year old just got a new big boy bed and his greatest pleasure is that he has 3 big pillows on it. I haven’t made the accent pillows yet — but I will. He has crib sheets that need to be cut up and utilized!!
