Like it or not (and believe me, I don't), we live in the age of the $60 candle. It's as if one day, all the fancy candle people got together and decided that, while for years, candles had been topping out at around twelve bucks (for a really big one), suddenly the market could—and should—support candles priced at 5 times that amount. And so it was. (Sort of like when jeans became a $200 expense? What? And we are all just going along with this? Is it any wonder our collective pockets are empty these days?) I digress. The point is, whether you've paid $5 or $500 for a candle, it probably came in some kind of glass container that just might be pretty enough to serve as a bud vase, piggy bank, matchbook collector or some other such useful thing if only you could get all the leftover wax and burned-out wick out of the bottom of the jar.

Smack in the center of Etsy's homepage the other day were these beautiful wire pomegranates from YooLa, an Israel-based industrial designer and artist who crochets both jewelry and home accessories from very fine, colorful wire (yes, using a crochet needle and everything!). These pomegranates (available in two sizes) are my favorites; according to the artist (and a number of ancient cultures), they represent "abundance, fertility and good luck". I love the unexpected mix of a technique and a material that seem like they wouldn't work together at all.
