The very next day I hot-footed it down to our nearest IKEA store (despite protests from Mr SE who hates the place - "We're just going to the market place, promise....!" ) and splashed out on 7 of them! Yes, 7. They look beautiful all lined up down the centre of the table (photographed below chez nous, on Christmas Day). And wonder of wonders, they are dual usage too - you can have candles in them as in the photograph or you can flip them over and put little tea-lights in them. Nifty, eh?
In Ikea 'speak' - NEGLINE @ 99 cents each - bargain of the decade!
Whilst there my eyes were naturally drawn to this which took me back to the streets of London and made me feel a longing for good old Blighty.... Rather nice - think I may have to indulge to hang on the walls of our Australian rented pad...
Its Ikea catalogue 'name' is VILSHUTE and at $89 I think it is pretty good value (it's large!) but not as big as the one below if you prefer a French slant to your art....
This goes by the name of PREMIAR and is $259 - why couldn't it have the name Eiffel Tower I wonder though?? Far more simple!
And finally, what about this groovy 'Dandelion light' masquerading as 'PS MASKROS' - cost to you -$199... warning though - does say 'self assembly required' - surely not all those teeny little flowery bits?
Ed Note : all prices quoted are in Australian Dollars...
