the baron and the husband found this iron dragonfly (and its twin) at a thrift store early this past summer. both pieces are quite heavy for their size, and a bit rusty... overall, they make a lovely, rustic pair of ornaments. if you look closely, you can see a hole in the dragonfly's head, so it can be hung flush against a wall. and at the bottom of its body, you can see that hinge there... that hoop thing moves up and down on that hinge.reader, the baron is fairly sure that that hoop thing is meant to hold a candle, and that the whole dragonfly contraption is meant to be hung outdoors, on a wall or an arbor or something similarly flat. but, reader, how will the candle stay in place? how will the candle stay on the hoop, rather than falling through the hoop? ideas, suggestions and answers appreciated.
