Our Hot Air Balloon

  So, I thought I'd show you our new chandelier.... I'm crazy for vintage lighting. Truly, that's my weakness. It has always been. I think, right after my first antique purchase (a Cupie Doll) when I was maybe eight or so, came a vintage Art Deco light at 10. I don't know what ten year old buys lighting, but, I got it honestly. You know that saying..."the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree"? That pretty much sums up many of the women in my family.  I wanted to share it with you much sooner, but, the lighting in this room is the worst in the house.... the reason I rarely ever take pictures in here. I guess I was just looking for a window of opportunity. I was prepping dinner today, and glanced in and thought "hey, the lighting looks pretty good in there" I headed for my camera and snapped a few shots.... I found it about a month ago, while I was visiting Mc Master and Storm. I knew I needed it...  I called my favorite husband and told him there was a chandelier we needed. It arrived a few days later, he took the ceiling fan down and put the much improved chandelier up! I love the dripping "wax"on the candle sleeves.... It's such a pleasure sitting in that room now, looking at a whimsically floating hot air balloon above.
  The colors couldn't be more perfect for this room! Happy weekend, girls!

Gorgeous! We have one too, only the colors different -- also have the weakness for old lighting :) In the third stage you wind up with a weakness for old houses, usually Queen Annes. It is incurable in most cases.
