In my blogging absence I have been doing productive things - I swear! One of those is walking. I have walked everywhere (within Boston). And everywhere there are cute restaurants, and chic restaurants, and cozy restaurants. Despite differences in overall decor or attitude exuded by these (I am assuming to be yummy) establishments there seems to be an underlying similarity in that there are very simple clear candle holders with tea lights on tables in a huge range of them. 
Yesterday, I saw a waiter at Figs, one of Todd English's Charlestown spots, placing these little luminaries on the tables. While sauntering past Bricco in the North End, I noticed the bright white lights dotted amongst the dark brick. Even Cary and I have them placed around our apartment adding a warm glimmer. There is something so simple, yet so elegant and sweet about a little tea light.
Looking to jazz things up with something more intricate? These cute silver leaf votives from Anthropologie are only $6 each. I bet the light reflects gorgeously off of the silver accent. I envision an assortment of these dotted along a table with festive ornaments for the holidays.
