SPARKLE

Sunday, January 30, 2011

We are getting ready to celebrate another birthday in our family...MY DAD's!
In getting things ready, I started with three candlesticks...finds from TJ Maxx.
They are pretty on their own, but SPARKLE is always nice!




The crystal bobeche add so much to candlesticks.  Did I say "crystal"?
These are faux crystal, they are plastic and cost only $4.99 each!  Pretty and reasonable!






Having only two bobeche, I needed another little something to dress up the center candlestick.  How about a bracelet?  This sparkley addition are two faux crystal beaded bracelets wrapped around the base of the candle.





The green center is a candle ring added atop of the bobeche.




















I hope you liked this little bit of sparkle!
I love your visits and comments...please let me know you stopped by!

Blessings,
