It's a family affair! This project was created by a junkin' mother/daughter team, E and me.

Elizabeth is all about easy and functional with a modern/industrial style. I think it's hysterical that she chose to make a candle holder after all of the grief she's given me throughout the years for doing the same! I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree after all. Hmmm...
