Oh. Ma. Ga.Y’all. Have you seen these candlesticks from Anthropologie?
They’re selling them for $399. To whom, I can’t help but wonder? It seems like the kind of person who has that kind of dough for a CANDLESTICK wouldn’t particularly care for this style.

I love these candlesticks too, but I don’t think I’ll be buying any at that price! Try a diamond tip drill bit. Bone china can be pretty hard to drill through, but it can be done

Right?? The price perplexes me. Thanks for the tip on the drill bit — I seriously may have to try these, maybe on a smaller scale.

I saw these in the Anthro catalogue too and thought to myself “AHA finally these knick knacks/curios will have a useful purpose.” Their stuff is always insanely overpriced, I don’t know how most people afford it. Did you also see their winking owl cookie jar that was a direct copy of the vintage version? Oh and btw I’ll be in Fayettevile from December 20-30th! Will be thrifting most of that time hehe.

Well, Lara, you have lots of things on hand, I would guess, that could be used for one of these candlesticks. I would want a shorter one, if you were making me one.

Trying to figure out why you have to drill the ceramic — couldn’t we glue the heck out of it? Or is that just playing with fire?

It might be worth a try! Though after I posted this I realized that I had drilled ceramic before, when I made the two-tier cake plates out of souvenir plates. It turned out not to be so hard after all, when I followed directions from the Internet — you have to wet the surface to keep it from getting wet, etc. Whether you used glue or the drill, I think the trick would be to start with trinkets that you didn’t care about that much so if you ruined them, it would be no biggie. |

SO FUN TO MAKE, right? If I could figure out how to drill through ceramic successfully. Although, I guess I did that with the plate stands I was making. Huh. Might be worth a try.
