Bloggers are forever inspiring me, and I've seen some very pretty lanterns in Blogland, like the one above decorated by Ann.
I've been looking around for a lantern or two, and I keep singing "Lanterns" by Birds of Tokyo. I can't get it out of my head! Play the video and enjoy the music while you read the rest of the post!
I bought one a few years ago for the living room, but put it on the porch last year. I need to buy me another one for the inside now. They are so lovely.
I was overwhelmed by the lantern selection at Pier One last week, so I can't believe there are even more online! As for what I am listening to....the a-z challenge starts today, and while the angsty eighties were a blast, I have gone back one decade further for this year!
Great song! I didn't think I ever heard it before, but as soon as the music picked up I recalled hearing it.
I love lanterns and you've shared so many pretty ones. I love that they can be simple on their own or grouped to make a statement. Filled with candles or other goodies, they're all good!
I adore lanterns, and you've shared some real beauties, Ricki Jill! I have several scattered around our home, and have used the automatic-timed candles in them. I truly look forward to seeing them come alive at 5pm! Thanks so much for sharing.
Fedora and I are HUGE fans of lanterns and oil lamps....he has many, most of which aren't being used...sadly. But we both pin and adore lanterns (and sconces!) and dream of a future home with them as decor, practical lighting, and in every other conceivable use. :) Thanks for sharing those gorgeous photos, and the song!
I love lanterns! Do you have Hobby Lobby? They have lots of them and they are often 40 or 50% off. Thanks for featuring mine. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lanterns.
ReplyDeleteI love the lines,
We held the light
To our faces
And realised
We were chasing
Shadows behind
Not worth saving
I am going to share those words with my daughter

ReplyDeleteI've never met a lantern that I didn't like and have two of those willow ones! You found some lovely ones.

ReplyDeleteI've a birdcage one that I put succulents in the front. It's buried under 10 ft of snow right now but I still have hope of seeing it again. C:
