Wow! It's perfection! Thanks for sharing.

Mammie

It's me again. I got so excited looking at all your pretty things that I forgot to mention the chandy. It looks great too. Nice save. :)

Thanks, Mammie! I appreciate it..
I put citronella votives inside the chandy..

"And here it is used for a Garden Party, with some wisteria weaved through.."

Tell me about the wisteria. Is it silk or the real thing? Whatever, I love it!

Kathleen, I missed the pic with the shades at GB or maybe you didn't post it there. Do they allow enough light from the candles?

I love it. i did the same thing with a free Brass chandelier I got from CL a couple of years ago. Just painted it this spring. It is not electrified as it is too old so it will hold white tapers instead.
I saw your garden party thread and was wondering if it was fake or real wisteria? what a great idea!

Hi natal, I still have dishes in the trunk! LOL (do you remember that?)
Yes, the candle shows through...you couldn't read a book with them, but it's a nice glow. With a few scattered around the table and the one in the centerpiece it is nice...

The wisteria is finished blooming, so I used "faux".
Carried the color of the cloth to the chandy, and you know dh thinks I am crazy,...but he did hang it for me!

You are very talented. Thanks for sharing and the invite to go take a look at the decorations.

love the chandy Kathleen. Looks great in your setting.
The best pieces are the ones that have been 'rescued' and given a new life !!

Thanks, Jane, wish someone would rescue me and give me a new life, LOL..I need more than spray paint though!
Brutuses, thank you too.

Wow. It's beautiful, and so are the colors you used for your garden party.

I love it! It looks great in black. To be honest, though, I like it better without the glass shades/globes. Looks more like an outdoor fixture without them--although I realize you need something to keep the wind from the candle flames. If it was mine, I'd try to find small glass votive holders (even old juice/shot glasses)glue them on with epoxy and then add the tea candles. Would add a nice sparkle in the evening.
What a great dumpster find you made!

Teeda, I bought clear votive holders to glue on. Just haven't bought the epoxy yet. I will have to give them the wind test though..
Thanks..

great idea!! Love it and am on the lookout for myself now :>)....question about the "roof" on your outdoor space. It appears to be fabric? We are looking at options for our deck that would be shade and light rain resistant. Thanks!

A real treasure you made for your garden party area. I wish the folks who make the battery operated candles, would come up with a chandy size -it would work so great for places with no electrical outlets! I loved your table covering & the entire setting. Nice taste!

Thank you! I agree, larger battery tea light type lights would be good!
Brandyland, it is canvas..and only light rain resistant. I tried spraying it with waterproofing, lasted one season.
We are due for a new top, or maybe a new gazebo next year. I do like the wood sides opposed to the metal though.

Brilliant!
