I can smell the combined nice flavor of different scents whenever I'm around it and sit to work at my desk (it's on the left side, inside the bookshelf). With this post i want to present my most favorite items.
The items are of the following categories:
- scented candles of different forms that i didn't resist not to buy, since I'm a candle maniac :D
- souvenirs of my friends from the places they have traveled and from friends abroad.
- small pieces of something that remind me of a memorable day or event.
Here's are some of the items and the story behind them:

I don't see anything from Canada. We need to change that. The next time I come to Armenia I will have to bring you some maple syrup. lol
okay Ani ;)
I have that same girl and boy from Amsterdam! I love your collection :)
what a sweet corner! it's a great idea - my souvenirs and candles are scattered on practically all surfaces of the apartment.
and oh i can so relate to your love towards candles. though i prefer geometrical shapes - when the candle is shaped like a flower or a butterfly or something else i just can't set it on fire and destroy it!
