Hundreds of Kiwi children will receive something special this Christmas thanks to Ryman Healthcare’s support of the Catalytic Foundation’s Christmas Shoebox Project.

Instead of giving individual gifts to residents, the idea was to redirect those funds to support struggling New Zealand families having to cut back on essentials.

Ryman residents were overwhelmingly in support of the idea, with many volunteering to help choose the gifts to fill over 1000 shoeboxes with thoughtful items.

Stunning 1930s Cambridge Glass Caprice Pattern 2 Light Candlestick Holder • TWO AVAILABLE

Markus from Green Bay

It's hard not to consider this Cambridge Glass 2-candlestick candelabra to be majestic! As my mother always says, "They just don't make 'em like this anymore."

As my mother always says, "They just don't make 'em like this anymore." To repeat, this is a 1930s Cambridge Glass "Caprice" 2-light candlestick holder. Solid glass. Ornate design with swirls, texture, and diamond points (as in, cut glass diamond points - not actual diamonds). The candelabras measures approximately 11" L x 6.5" H x 4.75" W and weigh an impressive 3 lbs .9 oz. They are in marvellous condition, and I tried to capture the sparkle but my old iPhone 6 failed rather miserably (I can actually see the sparkle on the screen, but the picture is more dull). $99 for ONE, or $159 for BOTH. Pickup in Green Bay (we live opposite Green Bay High School), and I'd rather not post them based on what I saw couriers do …
