You all know that I'm as eager as the next girl when it comes to making cheap frugal knock-offs. So when I saw this in Anthropologie's November 2012 catalog for $298.00 I just had to share the photo right away.
I also love Anthropologie as much as the next girl, but seriously?
$298.00?
It would cost me all of $2.00 to make one of these with Goodwill goblets and a little Superglue.
I think it would look great on my Thanksgiving table.
Sorry I haven't actually made one yet. It's just that I'm still trying to pick my jaw up off the table.
I'll be sure to share when I do.
Happy Halloween, Y'all!

I suspect you could go thru your cabinets and construct one of those without going shopping - I know I could. I think I would distribute the weight a little better tho - those look a bit fragile - add a candle and I think I will leave the room. :-D
Seriously?!! They do look rather precarious. I know you can do it as well if not better than Anthro Kathleen!

That IS nuts!
And I love Anthro, too.

the challenge, girlie.....
Go forth and inspire!
Happy Sunday,

That's just crazy! I'm sure you'll be able to come up with something much better!
Tsk, tsk, tsk. I wonder if they'll sell any? And I wonder who sat around and picked out that price? I hadn't seen them, but Anthro is a favorite of mine, too. Can do no wrong style-wise. Price-wise? Well, that's another thing altogether.
It probably costs the fortune to SHIP them. A while back I was in my local Goodwill and 2 women (I was gonna say 2 elderly ladies, but wait a minute, I count as a senior myself now!) were discussing the merits of different pressed glass dishes to build into stands/bird baths/planters and were piling comports, salad bowls, etc. up on the floor to see the effects. It didn't tempt me as they were paying full price for their choices! I don't think I will ever have a household where such candlesticks would SURVIVE. Cats, now! Previously, 2 kids, large rowdy dog, cat, hot air heat, woodstove ash, a basketball. If they didn't get broken, they'd look lousy with all the dust. They were obviously invented by someone without ANY of the above! I suppose it would be sacrilegious to say they would be cool painted with black gloss spray paint for Halloween?!?
