Octopus Tentacle Candlestick Holders

You could not believe my excitement when I found these beautiful octopus tentacle candlestick holders on dellamorteco.com! Years and years ago, I found a stunning pewter pair in a little shop on Long Island. When I returned to the shop a month or so later, they were gone, and no one knew where they had been ordered! My quest for octopus tentacle candlestick holders has raged on ever since...Until NOW!

Product Description
Representing the unknown perils of murky ocean depths and those beyond the mundane world, the tentacle hails from Lovecraftian horror and ancient tales of sea monsters.

$75 each or $140 for a pair

Video: Octopus with a Tin Can Mobile Home

CNN iReporter, Robert Suntay, shot this incredible underwater video of an octopus lugging a tin can along the sea floor in the Philippines. It appears that the can is being used for shelter. Further proof that octopuses are smarter and more capable than we know!



Can anybody name that octopus???
