My favorite with these Sherlock quote pencils is that quotes aren’t just typical “games in progress” or “my dear Watson.” They are great, but so are these! $14

221B at the top of the three bookmarks in the stained glass window design, and an image under the Benedict Cumberbatch text is Sherlock Holmes — Etsy’s Aixenart image

The stained glass motifs in these bookmarks are fantastic, and I think it would be the old Benny Cumberbatch as Sherlock of BBC Productions, Sherlock? Certainly my brain is watching young Martin’s shorts, but I like these either way! $9

Sherlock's research: Unresolved cases, experiments, and magenta wax candles in glass bottles with labels showing violins — Images from Candlechronicles on Etsy

Using this Sherlock research candle, we will begin our research at Scarlett. This is hilariously described as being a bit abrasive at first, but the longer you spend with it the more fun it is. ~~myself~~ Our Man Holmes. Its scent includes unsolved cases, experiments and violin notes. Otherwise, it is known as leather, whiskey and fireplaces. $22

I have been a huge fan of frostbite candles since my days as an indie bookstore and highly recommend the scent of many of their books. There is another Sherlock research candle. This has a note of cherry wood, cigarettes and rain. The 8-ounce jar comes with $24, but you can also get it in a 2-ounce can and a 4-ounce can, or as the wax melts.
