Product Description

The product is the "Heartfelt 3 Glass Pumpkins with Tealights and Garland by Valerie." It consists of three separate glass candle holders of three graduated sizes which are shaped like pumpkins. Each set includes six tea light candles, as well as a glass bead decorative garland. The pumpkin candle holders were sold in either clear glass or an amber color.
