I got an awesome inexpensive decorating idea from a restaurant I ate lunch at today. Each table had a martini glass with one of those small tea candles in it. It puts a really elegant twist on traditional glass candle holders! So I think I'm going to get several martini glasses from Kmart, fill them with candles and put them along my windowsill.

I have seen that too! Some places even fill the glass with water and buy small tea candles that float!

Super cute! I have seen that done before and I love it! I have seen some places that used colored water and it adds that much more to the table!

This idea is really fun! I ate at a THai restaurant this past weekend and they served the shrimp appetizers in the martini glass! Just another way to extend the idea!

I have had the shrimp in the martini glass before and I loved it! It gave the meal that extra Va Va Voom appeal!

I don't know if I trust myself with teal lights in martini glasses..haha.  I like the idea for  a table setting though.  If you were hosting a dinner party put one at each end.  Isn't it fun when you see something when you are out that you think...hmm that is a great idea!  Thanks for sharing.

I like ALL your ideas. The candle in the cocktail glass is actually a graphic representing the Universal Unitarian church!
