I never did use it as a candle holder - or use it at all for that matter, but did decide to paint it black...then I still never used it. Eventually I sent it off to Goodwill.<br /><br />At any rate - whether it was mine or not - they were available in the 90's in Dallas at Fitz and Floyd.Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10081725379521309242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4452607877223303862.post-51030584926508081332009-11-15T14:14:49.371-05:002009-11-15T14:14:49.371-05:00I have one just like yours!

I usually have votives with candles sitting in each "cup," but I've also had it full of pumpkins and gourds just like you did with yours. It's been to weddings, school functions, and, of course, in various rooms through Casa St. Michael. I know you'll enjoy yours as much as I do mine!<br /><br />Grins!<br />PammAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4452607877223303862.post-58750970274786599402009-11-08T08:03:06.548-05:002009-11-08T08:03:06.548-05:00What a great piece.
