Seasider Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 It can be useful to catch wax drips, but can also be decorated to give a new look to your candle holders. I would like to shop for some online but I can't remember what to even search for! Surely one of you gals with fresher brain cells can help me out...

Mrs Mungo Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Are you thinking of the word bobeche? Searches for "candle wax catcher" and "candle drip catcher" bring up examples as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILiveInFlipFlops Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I'm pretty sure a thong on top of a candle is a fire hazard. I do not recommend it. I also don't know if I'd google it :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belacqua Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Now that I've stopped giggling (and come to terms with the fact that I am, apparently, eleven years old), I'll agree with Mrs M.: bobeche. I'll always remember that word because Peg Bracken used it in her etiquette book as an example of something you can claim to need when you're being pestered by a salesperson ("I'm looking for some antique Swedish bobeche; do you have any?"). And I finally get to put that knowledge to use! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I know it's a little early, but I'm pretty sure this might qualify as BEST THREAD TITLE OF THE MONTH. :hurray: I'm really, really, really hoping she doesn't fix the typo.

QuirkyKapers Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Wow! I knew we have discussed many topics here, but I am not recalling a thong you put on top of a candlestick Cupcakes, kilts, but thongs...I am not sure we have dedicated a thread to this....yet! :D Thanks for this!

ILiveInFlipFlops Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I'm really glad at least a few people knew what the OP was actually asking about. I'd hate for Seasider to get back here and see all these replies, only to find us waxing on about thongs :lol: (ha, waxing...candles...thongs...get it?) And ironically, every time I try to type the word "thong," I accidentally type "thing." What does that say about me?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasider Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 Hahahahaha! I am trying not to bust a gut in the craft store aisle!!! And I'm at Hobby Lobby no less - no way I could ask 'em for a thong holder here! All I can say is..... it's Friday night!!!!! And I just got a new phone and my chubby fingers have yet to adjust. I am tempted to fix my error but then nothing would be in context, and I know y'all have read my UO about deleting stuff and messing up the chat that follows. I will have to go back and read everything - but I got as far as knowing that Mrs Mungo hit on the word I was trying to remember - bobeche. Now if dh stumbles across this thread I will certainly hear about it. No doubt he will rummage thru my dresser looking for the infamous undergarment he doesn't remember ever seeing! Glad to have provided a laugh. I will come back later after the kids are all settled and I've stirred up a tall Pimm's cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tap Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 It can be useful to catch wax drips, but can also be decorated to give a new look to your candle holders. I would like to shop for some online but I can't remember what to even search for! Surely one of you gals with fresher brain cells can help me out... Just to clarify.....you have a candlestick that has a dripping problem......and you want one of your fresh friends to help you decorate your candle holder with a thong that you can buy online? Have I got it right? :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberia Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Well, the title certainly got me interested. I needed a laugh, so thanks! I'm afraid that candles and thongs are now linked in my brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuirkyKapers Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 [quote name="Ethel Mertz" post="5573594" timestamp="1396660745"] My 11 year old son wants to know what I'm laughing about so hysterically. He looked over my shoulder. He wants to know why you would put flip-flops on top of a candle. No way, no how am I going to explain the other meaning of "thong."[/ quote] I had totally forgotten that flip flops were called thongs. I can see why people don't use this term. Honey, could you please go get my thongs before we leave? Just takes things to a whole nother level :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavender's green Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I already have to fight back the giggles whenever I come across anything tea-related. Now dripping candlesticks and thongs?
