Gurley Flower Candles On Display For Spring

Did ya ever think that you could fall in love with these cute little vintage Gurley flower candles? As soon as I saw them it was love at first sight for me and I am so excited to finally be putting them out on display! But beware, if you read on you may just want a set or two for yourself!

A few weeks ago, I was gifted these beautiful old vintage Gurley flower candles. It was love at first sight for me and I am so excited that I was finally able to get them out and on display this week! If you are wondering what Gurley candles are all about, then you can click here to read all about the history behind these adorable little novelty pieces. Just know that they are quite popular collectibles now!

I have a pretty big collection of old Gurley candles (many of which you can see here on my Instagram feed) for all sorts of holidays – but these are my very first Gurley flower candles – and I am smitten. These little daffodils are perfect for spring!

I decided to put these little daffodils upstairs on my very favorite antique possum belly bakers table. I felt the that this little ‘moody area’ (with all the darker pieces including the old oil painting, the dark books, and the antique wooden pieces) really helped to make these really special Gurley flower candles to pop! The dark colors surrounding them really help to make the vibrant spring colors to stand out!

As you may know, I have several (ok – maybe more than several) collections of home decor items (most of them vintage) that I like to bring out and style each season, but I think one of my favorite collections has to be my old candle collection (from Turkeys to Pumpkins to Bunnies – I have a lot) and adding these Gurley flower candles just makes me so happy.

While most of the space is dark and moody, I did add a few lighter touches to tie the area together. I included this darling little pitcher that I recently got, you can read all about that piece here. I also added in a few ‘pots’ of plants as well.

A Little Back Story: I have been collecting these for MANY years. I would buy them at estate sales or antique malls way before I was ever on social media. But, once I started sharing my passion for Gurley candles here online, I began getting tons of questions about them. I love that things that I have found and that I love spark interest in others. That is the reason why I am sharing these little Gurley flowers with you now! My hope is that you will find these as magical as I do!

I know there are a few of you out there that may want one of these cuties for your own collection! Sadly, I wasn’t able to find ANY online so I suggest that you search your local vintage and antique stores. If you simply want to begin a little Gurley candle collection with any of the charming varieties out there then click here to shop!

I will admit, my little collection of these has grown larger over the years – in fact many people have gifted me candles. I am so fortunate because I just love adding new pieces for each of the seasons. If you don’t already have a Gurley candle collection then I hope that this encourages you to start one of your own!
