Weekly Photo Challenge: Delicate

Before our marriage my husband rented a house at the beach. The landlord asked him if he would mind cleaning the cellar for him, nice guy that he is my husband agreed. The landlord then told him that if he found anything that he liked he could keep it as payment for his labors.

This lovely gem was unearthed in a dusty broken box!

This amazing crystal candelabra graces my dining table at every holiday celebration and whenever I have a dinner party.
