I got my candle holder from Ebay!
Its so BIG. Now I just need some actual candles.
It must have come from a smokers house. When I opened the box it smelled like a dead Las Vegas cocktail waitress’s mouth. There was just this wave of stale cigarette stench. It has totally taken a few days for the candle holder to off-gas. GROSS.
The perils of Ebay I guess…
I swear!
I’m still in second place.
This is the last time I will ask for you to vote for this.
Voting ends this Sunday, May 31.
I put cute babies in my entry pics to compete with Tim’s bathroom.
Please don’t let this win – because it totally is right now. Yuck.
Thank you everyone. This is the first contest I’ve ever entered and I can’t believe I’m even close to winning. I’m really psyched that people would help out. Many thanks again and have a outrageously fabulous weekend.
I think I want this.
MASKROS – please come to the USA soon. I’m tired of waiting to see you in person.
I’m not sure if when I see it in person I will think it looks too “whimsical” and turn me off completely or if I will love the complicated delicate globe.
Everyone around the blog-o-sphere (I hate that term)* has been hyping this IKEA PS line for soooo long. I just want to see it! I’m worried that this light might just scream IKEA and be everywhere…
On that note, a little story.
I had a cop come into my house (don’t ask) and Officer Snodgrass (seriously) said, “Someone sure likes Ikea” the minute she walked in the front door. The thing is – there was only 1 item from Ikea in the whole house and it was the Stockholm Rand Rug which does scream Ikea. Like all that time I spent vintage hunting and scouring California for reasonably priced MCM furniture boiled down to it ALL being “from Ikea”. Just because of that one giant rug.
Thats why I want to replace it.
* to clarify: I also hate random parenthesis – but I still do it. I know I’m a stupid hypocrite.
