Today I wanted to show you my new dinner table centerpiece. I've been wanting some silver candlesticks for ages but couldn't find any that I liked. Truth be told I wasn't really sure what I wanted, I just knew I wanted them to be sort of chunky and in a cluster of three or so. Just when I was about to abandon my search I found this beauty. I squeed and (carefully!) tossed it into the shopping cart and left in search for candles.
Have you guys bought candles lately? Oh my word! So I needed one pillar candle and three tapered candles. I stopped at Target on the way home and the size pillar candle I needed was $15. FIFTEEN DOLLARS. For a candle! After a kind employee picked me up off the floor I left and after searching various Goodwills and thrift stores I found exactly what I needed. Of course. Why didn't I look there in the first place?
The candle holder and candles are now living happily ever after on my dining room table, and I think they look quite lovely. Even though it's early afternoon here I lit them to see what they'd look like and I am so pleased! Now all I need is to set the table for dinner and invite friends over! And, you know, have food to cook other than canned soup. ;)
