I've seen a few with wall-brackets/mountings, but this is the first I've ever seen without ANYTHING on it. Not even a plaque. There's literally...
Hi AF, You're right, they are. But obviously I couldn't get my hands on any, so I used water instead. Works pretty good. This one doesn't have a...
Candle-snuffer? Incense-holder?
This is thing is just cute! [IMG] I picked it up for $20 at a local charity shop. At first I had no idea what I was gonna do with it beyond...
