My dad brought one of these courting candles home from a garage sale years ago and explained them to me.
Fathers used to time their daughter’s courting time by lighting this candle and when it got down to the metal, the courting was over. It was conveniently adjustable so if he didn’t like the looks of the guy he could shorten the time.
I found this wrought iron courting candle at Unique Home and Garden Shoppe. There are also “outhouse” candles and beautiful wrought iron votive holders there.
Whether it’s Father’s Day, Dad’s birthday or he’s done something you want to thank him for these 4 FREE downloadable sentiments will come in handy for creating projects for Dads. Make him a heartfelt handmade card, use them on scrapbook layouts for Father’s Day, create a sublimation for a personalized coffee cup, use heat vinyl to create special shirts or for decor items like stickers that celebrate him and how special he is.
