Leave it to you, Ms Thrift Store Queen, to score a RUSTY chandelier that is just perfect for Halloween!
Very cool decoration.

hugs, Karen

That is very interesting. I like what you've done with it! Is it cast iron? I'd love to see what it looks like with no decorations -- I've never seen anything like that, except perhaps in a movie scene. :)

very cool decoration - I keep looking for an interesting candelabra or chandaleir(sp) to play around with. You guys have given me so many ideas .....

The rusty candleabra is wonderful. Even more special that it was a bargain!!

That's a great candelabra. With nice wide bases for each candle, you can use glass votive holders as well as candles. I'm always in the market for pieces that allow glass holders so that they can be used on the patio. Even a teeny tiny breeze will blow out a candle, so I have to surround my candles with something.
I bet we're going to be seeing it a lot in different arrangements.

What a great find and so perfect for Halloween and Autumn! I want to go shopping with you...you always find the neatest things!

Candy, I agree with DG, you really find the best bargains. Those little pumpkin candles for 10 cents each were a great find too. Your rusty metal looks like the real thing, I know there are some paint techniques used sometimes to get the effect of rust. I love all the arms on yours, let's it really fill out the space well. Is it as heavy as it looks?

This was such a great find..
I love the size and shape of it and can see you using it
with many different 'toppings' to change it. Right now
those Jack candles are perfect.
I think the rust gives it such character too.

Hi Ladies,
Yes, it is heavy metal (AR,AR,AR!!)
It is a rust finish, its not actually rusty.

DG, that is what Kath said when I emailed her and asked if she would like to meet and go to lunch. Her response was "no, I want to go TS shopping with you." And she found some china Reed & Barton Christmas salad plates that were beautiful and way less than what she later priced them for on E-Bay.

I think I find such great treasures because I REALLY look at the shelves and then go back and look again, because you miss things the first time through.

I almost never leave a TS empty handed. There is always some treasure wanting to come home with me!

I also shop the sales after the holidays when the stores are clearing things out. That is when I found the .10 candles.

TTFN,
Candy

Candy, so glad you took some close up's to share. It is such a neat candleabra and looks great with the pumpkins and fall leaves you added.

Color me green with envy.
Such a nice piece with so many possibilities.

Wonderful, Candy! Adding the small jach-o-lanterns was a fantastic idea!!! I really like your idea a lot. TFS!

And, I hit the thrift store by me this weekend without CC and didn't find one danged thing :) Yep, Candy has that special thrift store touch LOL!

It's a gorgeous candelabra! I definitely love cast iron stuff and am looking for a similar candelabra to add to my dining room. And your set up is excellent.
