sparkly gems

i picked up this huge glass hurricane for a steal a while back (at a thrift store of course!)

and decided to fill the base with decorative sand...

did I mention it is huge, I could barely see the first bag of sand I poured in there

time for another plan...

so I discovered these fake sparkly jewels at Michaels

used my coupons to buy two packs, just love them

nestled a big fat candle in the middle

and finished it off with a long strip of my stamped french fabric (still loooving those stamps!)

doesn't it look pretty!

Take a look here for the parties I'm linking up to!

happy days,

Tracey
