A perfect illustration for Spanish colloquial expression se le va la olla, literally meaning, the pot is gone. You use this expression when you want to say that someone is a bit nuts. Never mind if the pot is gone, you can still transform the lid in a funny candle holder like this one I found at Gym's shop, Camel Stop here in the Lecrin valley. It's now hanging in my kitchen above the sink.... quite appropriate to wash the plates by romantic candle light !
Gym just opened an etsy shop. Go and visit here.

Ooo, nice. It coordinates beautifully with your tile (gosh, I sure do like that tile!).
Ooh! Pretty!
Thanks for the Spanish lesson. I like.
Qué bonita!!! Vaya idea tan buena!
That's a new expression to me, In Mexico we say, "Se le va la onda".
What a great idea for recycling though, love the candleholder in your kitchen!
You're not nuts! It looks great! Fun.
I adore those tiles too.
Such a clever idea! I am sure the glow at night is wonderful.
Preciose e ingenioso
Me encanta!
thanks a lot!
;)
Beautiful!! And your tile is gorgeous too!
Olala Lala vilken underbar idé, så fantastiskt vackert och så coolt att göra en ljusstake av ett vackert kopparlock!!
Today swedish my friend!!

Lots of love
Agneta o;)
Nice, I have some old things in this material and they give you a perfect rural atmosphere. ciao lala.
I love the candle holder as I love the copper patina. How do u light the candles as it seems high up the wall. Do you use a long matchstick?
Who cares where the pot went when the lid is transformed into a greater thing of beauty? ¡Me encanta!
This is fabulous! I bet it creates a beautiful, warm glow. Have a great weekend, Lala.

that's a great example of recycling! Those tiles are fab!
What a fabulous re purpose! It not only looks great but it's actually useful. I would bet doing dishes by candlelight is quite enjoyable--I am going to try it. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
