Ikea Lantern Twinkle Light

I made a new twinkle light.  The subsequent photos of it exemplify how desperately I need a camera for my birthday HINT. Back to the twinkle. Who DOESN'T have that Ikea lantern in some colour lying around the house.  Put it to good use for once and cram some twinkles in it.  Plus, they already have a handle, so stringing them together and hanging them on your porch in the summer would be easy easy.  Henceforth I am putting out a call for twinkle light jars/bottles/crates/vessles/pails/carafes that you have made.  Share away via email, please! I would simply die to see your lovely contributions and I will dedicate a special post to all you twinklers...

Home Hardware, Krug, and most importantly, Mason Jar TwinkleLight

There was a furniture mishap.  I am not the most patient of girls, so I jumped with both feet and a can of white acrylic enamel spray paint.  Woe is us. It did not dry well, and stayed sticky, and it required some hefty back pedaling.  But now we're back on track and on the right track this time!
In the meantime this is my new home away from home.  I've been here six times, it is aptly named.

Let's Talk Lighting

I love a good twinkle light. They remind me of the fireflies I never got to see or catch as a child.  In case you're thinking it, twinkle lights are not only for Christmas or summer dinner parties.  No no.  They are for whenever you want and wherever you want, indoors and outdoors.  Example time.

Twinkle lights in mason jars, or any jars for that matter. Too cute.  Also helps satisfy your craving for fireflies in a jar if you never caught any in your infancy (like moi). No I did not think of this, I just wish I had.
