TABLETOP TUESDAY - charcoal for yule?

i like these beveled charcoal votive holders. not sure how i'd incorporate them yet, but got me thinking about holiday color schemes nonetheless....

the price is right: pair on sale for $19 from $69! get yours now at brocade home. also available in a bright-ish berry. that could be fun too. at this price, maybe a bunch of them in each hue lined up on the tabletop, sideboard or fireplace mantle mixed with low lying votives too (see these). a thought, hmmm....
