My weakness!!

Today l went into Hobart to look at a Ute to buy. Came back baffled and with nothing which was what l expected!! On my way into Hobart l popped into this sort of junk/collectables shop in Huonville. Not intending to buy anything but its always fun to look! Found this "had to have" candle lantern! Love it..... $5..... bargain!!! l haven't bought a candle stick for ............7 days??'

THEN.......on my way back....... l called into the brand new Tip Shop that has just opened up at the Huonville Rubbish Dump! Wonderful! l had been meaning to have a look to see what sort of trash they had. Safe to go in there for sure............WRONG!!.... Look at my lovely 'had to have' candle sticks l found!!!! They stand about 2 feet high..... $3......BARGAIN!!!

The weird thing was, was that when l got home with my wonderful Tip Shop candle sticks, l opened up the back door to let the dogs out and had completely forgotten l had already bought my lantern one only a few hours before! This started me thinking that maybe l  have this weird candle stick fetish.... THEN l started to look around the house to see just how any of them l actually have. Heaven forbid if l ever counted them!!! l have lots and lots of brass ones. All different sizes and shapes.....

 Some wonderful mystical silver ones!

Wrought iron ones. This one in particular is living outside this Summer to be hopefully an arbour for the decorative grape vine l discovered going rampant in the flower bed! Should end up looking quite spectacular this Autumn!

 l have very very large ones that actually look like street lights!

 Gorgeous exotic curly ones!

 A fabulous art deco pair of cobras my parents bought me for Christmas! Love them!

 Solid magnificent stone ones!

 Colourful wooden hand painted Indian ones!!

 Strange little 'one off' peculiar ones!

This one l bought the day l had Possum put down. Its Chinese with a brass engraved plate that sits on this hand carved collapsible duck shaped wooden base with horse hoofed feet!!!

And soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many glass ones of all different shapes and colours that look so beautiful all lit up together!
And this is only a tiny portion of them! Just some of my favourites......then there's all of my outside ones.............

l fully believe that one cannot have enough candle sticks and holders so my quest for more will continue on......................
