OMG-Those are wonderful!

We brought my parents to live with us and in order to make room for everybody's everything, I got rid of a lot of my stash.

Also, a lot of stuff is packed up in a storage shed.
Looking at these pics of yours, I've got to get out to those boxes and see what I have left as I'm sure I kept a couple of my old candle holders.

I went looking last week at a couple of Salvation Armys specifically for crackled glass globes.
Everyone must have the same idea because there wasn't a single one to be found.

I have two 8" crackle globes (was hoping for a third to make a totem candle holder) I was saving for whatever came to mind and now that I see your pic, I know what I want to do with them--Thank you!

I LIKE THAT. A LOT. What a great idea, and a beautiful glass globe. My GW never seems to have any pretty ones, or they get grabbed up too fast for me to ever see.
This is just soooo pretty.

hugs, Karen

How to keep solar lights in place on old floor lamp?
Q
Comments (17)
OK, I put the solar lights in the lamp and they have stayed for several days without me connecting them in any way - they are just sitting over where the cardboard tubes were before I removed them. But the lights won't stay straight - they lean because the tops are touching and it's the only way they'll stay. I haven't painted the lamp yet because I haven't had time. I just went out and took some pictures but the solar lights have been stored unopen for quite a few years so they do seem a little dim. I like the overall effect but I think I need a different style solar light. It was a good idea and I'd like to say thanks to JoAnn for bringing it up. Well, maybe I'm just tired (yeah, that's it, sure) but I cannot post the pictures. I highlighted the link address but it only takes you to the photobucket sign in page. Or, I did something else (I don't even know now what I did) and pictures came up with none of my message and it said it was rejected because I did not name the link. I will try posting the pictures tomorrow and hopefully I'll be able to do it right. Sorry but I'm going to quit now while my computer is still in one piece because my patience is wearing verrrrry thin. Colleen

Stockings were hung from the light fixture with care...

I am not certain how it'll work this year. I was going to decorate the whole house yesterday, but thought better of it when, after 30 minutes, I was saying Maggie Down! Murphy NO NO! every second, :( when all I'd done is drag out the boxes. I wanted to "do it up big time" (every square inch in greenery/decorations) for the little fella, but it's looking like it probably won't happen. I did put up a special little tree in his room with unbreakable ornaments on an artificial tree that I flipped the end of the branch over the loop of the ornament to keep it on the tree. Does that make sense? That doesn't keep them from knocking it down in whole. I might do the same with the bigger tree if it looks ok when I get home tonight (((heavy sigh))) I was just thinking about Gruver (how do you spell that kitty's name?!) and all the animal troubles you've had Michelle. You handle their maladies with greater aplomb than I ever could with Keegan. Any little thing and I was a shambles.

Looking for a new light fixture for breakfast room -can you help?

Thanks for your replies. I'm going to have to find a picture because the ceiling configuration is impossible to describe with words. Basically the division between ceiling and open-two-second-floor is smack in the middle of the table, where you'd want the junction box to be (and where it can't possibly be, because there's a beam there.) And the ceiling slope runs perpendicular to the table, not paralell. So a bar pendant thing might work but only if I "dangle" the one end out into the empty space - I thought about having a carpenter build some kind of wooden box that I could hang pendants from, but I think it would be better to just get an oval shaped chandelier. I'm going to look for a pic as soon as I get back from dropping my dd off at camp. If I can't find one, I'll dig otu the camper and take a new one.

I need some instruction on candle burning, please.
Q
Comments (21)
We always light the candles on our table every night at dinner. We purchase a good quality, non scented candle, usually Colonial Candles of Cape Cod. There are very specific instructions for safely burning a candle and rather then risk listing them all I linked them below. I don't want to sound like an alarmist but while candles can cause fires it's really about 4% of home fires and most of those occurred in a bedroom when the occupants fell asleep with the candles burning. Smoking is the number one cause of residential fires followed by cooking and electrical problems. Why don't you light some this afternoon and see how you feel about it when no one else is there. Since you don't normally burn candles you still might not feel comfortable having them lit when your company comes especially since you'll be busy serving as hostess. If you do decide to lit them you could ask a trusted friend to help keep an eye on them. Personally I love burning candles but we don't have pets or kids and we only burn them in the same room that we are in so that we can keep an eye on them. Obviously there are no combustibles near, we keep the wicks trimmed, votive candles are in appropriate holders, we avoid drafts etc. Here is a link that might be useful: candle safety tips

Thanks everyone. The light fixture came from my gramma's attic.. I originally planed to make a hanging globe but never got that done. So this is idea number two. I have a red one as well but I think the red is painted on so not to sure it will last outside. I've been tring to finish some things and get them outside. Hopefully more pics to come.

Amity I sure hope you get yours together and show us pictures!!!
