Collecting candle sticks

As you all know-- I have a wedding on my mind.  Since I have till December  to get it all together -- I plan to do alot of the decorations myself.  In sticking with Hilary's "shabby chic" theme -- I am collecting candlesticks. I have been busy hitting the local thrift and antique stores lately.  So far, I have found about 25 candlesticks.  My goal is not to pay more than $1.00 for each.  And believe it or not-- I have found all these for a dollar or less.  Several were .25 cents each!  Can't beat that!  Now.. I have to  find about 40 more!



 Now.. I plan to paint all these to give them that "shabby chic" look.  Here is a piece I am using for inspiration:



Found this little jewel at a local antique store.. isn't it darling?  I think I will use it on the registration table.  Well... looks like I have alot of work to do.  Good thing time is on my side.
