7 Tips for Burning the Perfect CandleAuthor: Chere Deshayes Tapers, columns, votives, containers, pillars and novelty - chances are you have at least one of these types of candles in your home. Surveys done by candle manufacturers suggest that 7 out of 10 U.S households use candles, 96% of which are purchased by women. The basics for candles are easy, just light them!

Yearning for yarn: knit holiday gifts at these San Francisco shopsAuthor: Sunset
"Please touch" seems to be the rule when you enter a yarn store. It''s like a petting zoo--faces are buried in fuzzy things, and exclamations of "so soft!" and "so sweet!" are bantered about.
