I remember the first time I saw one of these capital
fragments at a architectural
salvage place about five years ago…….it was love at first site!!!!!
However the price
was out of my reach since it was $300.
Ever since then I have been
searching for one but have never had any luck finding
one until the other day!
-------
-------
I spotted it from across the room and
started walking towards it very fast…almost running.
When I zipped past my
husband who was standing at the end of
the isle he was like,
”Where are you going?
We haven’t even finished looking here yet.”
I proclaimed I’d be back and that I had found something!!!
Let’s just say when he finally
caught up with me holding my new treasure
he didn’t share in my excitement
and was less then thrilled. I on the other hand was over
the moon with happiness since this
little gem was only $78!
-------
-------
As you can see it found a
home on my coffee table in the living room.
Don’t you love how the
wax ran down and started to drip……
-------

I also found this candle on One Kings Lane the other day.
It smells heavenly without even being lit!!!
Isn’t the little cardboard
container it comes in so sweet?
Hope you are having a nice holiday weekend
and will take the time to say
a little prayer for all the men and women serving
our country and for those
who gave their lives so we can enjoy our freedom!
Have a great week!!!

I have been trying to find one of those at a reasonable price, too. You lucky girl.
ReplyDeleteYou lucky dog....I want one of those....whaaa
ReplyDeleteDes I want it!! LOVE IT! It looks great on your coffee table!
ReplyDeleteI love your captial! I have one (not vintage) that I use under one of my columns. It gives it some much needed height. I love how you used it for candles. Speaking of candles, that was a nice one you found on OKL! I've never seen those in person, but have heard they smell wonderful. Love the packaging too. Your orchid caught my eye too. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome find! It looks beautiful on your coffee table!
ReplyDeleteGreat find Des! I love it! :)
ReplyDeleteGotta email you about my new find! I'm SO EXCITED!!!
Hi Des: That is so beautiful. What an eye you have. I do love the wax running down on it. Good find..Happy Monday..Judy
ReplyDeletegreat find!
ReplyDeleteI looked for years for a chippy vintage capital. My husband got tired of hearing about it and bought me a repro at Restoration hardware for Christmas. Your's is perfect and I love the candles on top.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful find- and gorgeous pics as usual.It looks just perfect in your home!
