a simple suncatcher would be like $15 bucks and like 5 bucks shipping and handling. Sorry the prices are high for the votive, I know times is hard. I've been unemployed for over a year, so trying to get this BIZ going.That votive takes two whole days to make, plus supplies...so it's really the best I can do;(...keep me in mind if you ever win some Cha$ching though.
