Thrift

 
I love the Anthropologie catalog.  It's weird, quirky, colorful and subs as really
good wrapping paper too.  I came across these candlesticks
in one from last year.  I wanted to make some (and did) which were really
fun to mess around with...but, get this, Antropologie was asking
$399. each.  That's THREE HUNDRED NINETY-NINE dollars.
Seriously?
They are fun and even a bit strange, but really?  $399?
 
I did not have the know-how to drill through the little thrifted goodies I found
(miss you Papa), but gorilla glue worked well for me.
Does anyone else find this price a bit much?
 
Do you ever find fun stuff in catalogs and make it yourself?

  1. I guess for the artist, their creativity is priceless, but in this case $399. I'd love to see your version of this when you are done!

  2. Yes, I do make my own things quite often because I look at things and think, "I could make that for much less!" And I have the satisfaction of knowing I made it! I would love to see your version of these! Please post them!
