I had a guest over for dinner last night. She is also a telecommuter for my company. She lives in another state but she was called upon to travel to my local office for the week. I lit up a flowerpot votive and made it part of my informal centerpiece.
I think I must have let it burn to long. I also suspect my two year old yanked the table cloth, jostling the votive and spilling the soy wax all over the table! The candle was instantly rendered useless as it extinguished (nice little safety bonus!), and what was left of the wick went to the bottom of the flowerpot votive holder. It ended up looking like the candle had tunneled completely to the bottom.
I know that these candles don't tunnel and there was a huge puddle all around the flowerpot votive holder, so I knew exactly what had happened!
Next time I won't put the candle on the table with a table cloth!
