Have you looked at your local hobby supply store for the candles? Also check those big discount stores if you have a membership. Our boss bought a bunch to hand out at Christmas and she bought hers at Costco.

Those look as cute as can be. I don't have any. They look like they use tea lights. The batteries can get expensive so shop around for those, too.

They are very pretty, where did you see them?
They look like only tea lights would fit through
the doors, besides the tea lights would look nicer.

I don't have those particular lanterns, but I have three. Two are cast iron, with no glass and shaped like small cathedrals and one does have glass and is more of a plain box shape. The one with glass really looks pretty, glows, with a votive candle. I have never tried a battery operated votive so can't say how much light is created within a lantern. I've used the battery operated votive with flickering flame in other things however and really like the effect.

I have the Hampton, the Pickford and another that isn't shown in your picture, but is similar to the Ellington. I was disappointed in the size for the price. I have them mixed in with books on a bookshelf and use battery-operated votives with timers to light them.

Sorry if my post was confusing. I would definitely use the tea lights with these. I was thinking I would mix in some battery taper candles in candle holders and the two combined would be my centerpiece. I dont' really have any good decorations for my DR table.

Off the top of my head, I have seen these at signals, plow and hearth, and fast find. I am sure a few other places but I can't think of them at the moment. :)

Do you use them just at Christmas time Fun2BHere? I am wondering if they can be left up all year or winter at least.

They stay in the bookcase all year long. They don't read as any particular season in my opinion. In fact, I originally bought them to use as a centerpiece on my patio table in summer, but the look didn't come together the way that I wanted for some reason.
