A Wee Bit of Bling

In my "make" believe world I would have bling hanging from the ceiling in every room. But, in my "real" world that just isn't possible. So, I've done the next best thing.
A while back I found this hanging "candle" chandelier. I got a heck of a deal on it and it immediately came home with me. After getting it here I had issues of trying to figure out how in the world I was going to hang it. Do you ever have those problems? Oh, I could have hung it from the ceilings, but the height of our ceilings and the size of this cutey, it would have gotten lost. So, I left well enough alone until I came up with a solution. Then, "boom" like a bomb going off it finally came to me. I rushed downstairs and brought up the base for a hanging birdhouse. Off came the birdhouse and on went the chandelier. Perfect!I searched high and low for the perfect "red" candles. I wanted them to go with the gorgeous sunflowers and the poinsettias that take their place. These candles are by Root and I believe the name is Collonette. (At the time I took these pictures you can see the beautiful red sunflowers in the copper pot. Now the pot is full of red poinsettias and beautiful white spikes). lol I can almost envision it hanging from the ceiling..lol

So, in my real world I have some bling. lol Even though it's candle operated, I love it. I hope you enjoyed a peak into my world of bling. I've sure enjoyed having you stop by. Now, I'm off to do some more Christmas decorating. It's starting to drip around here like chocolate off an ice cream cone. Yes, I'm having a ball going all out this year. I know I'm a bit early with the Christmas decor. I honestly can't believe I'm putting it up before Thanksgiving. But, for some reason this year I have a feeling I must. I must go all out and make the house as festive as ever. :-))

So, during these rough financial times we all find ourselves in, let's remember the true reason for the season. For all of us to be truly thankful, for health, family and happiness. I'm truly blessed for all the friendships I've formed over this past year and the new ones I hope to form. Most of all I'm thankful Mr. P is doing well right now, we pray for those days to continue. So....Whatever you're doing I hope you're having as much fun as I am. May God Bless each and everyone of you and your families.
