I spend most of my online shopping life, pouring over sites that are about gardens, and gardening and filled with cool ideas for backyard living – probably because it’s about my favorite place in the whole world. Some people love to travel, but I just love to travel far enough to come home with wonderful new things for my summer life outside. It might be a plant, or a bonsai tree or a light and my most recent acquisition is a unique large green mosaic candle lantern.
So many of the lanterns you see these days are small and not all that well made, but this candle lantern is like an outdoor lamp. It’s made from I don’t know how many hundreds of pieces of colored glass. And it’s framed with iron and over seventeen inches tall which makes it even more impressive. When it’s lit up from the inside it makes me feel like I’ve been transported back a few hundred years. Now if only it was shipped with a knight in shining armor – although I’ve heard that knights can be a little expensive to ship.
