Family candle hobby lights up Christmas in New London
In New London, Joe Howell and his wife Marvy along with their daughter Collette make and decorate candles year round. From 25 shapes and 144 colors they craft from scratch using wax heated to 212 degrees and poured into molds to avoid air pockets and hollow spots. Collette helps, and Christmas week promises candles as the sole house light, especially a rectangular hurricane candle with stained glass sides.
