Love that look! I have a collection of various styles and sizes of lanterns from yard sales I may try that with. Thanks for the idea. :-)

Neat idea. And what a lovely neighborhood you live in! I don't see homes like that in Phoenix. (guess you can't take Southern Girl out of me, LOL.)

I like the color coordinating. Good idea. And what a pretty neighborhood.
Its quite cool here but my daffs are almost ready to bloom. And the crown imperials are almost a foot tall, tho unfortunately it doesn't look like they will bloom this year. Giant allims are about 4 inches tall and looking like Dr. Suess creatures coming out of the soil. I'm so excited about them, they are new this year.

I'd love to see them lit at night, I bet that looks really cool!
What are the lanterns made of?
Great find!

How wonderful and inviting your street looks.
Love those lanterns.
Do your neighbors share your garden decor enthusiasm or is it more like Wisteria Lane? LOL
gotta ask.

I love them....I bet they look great at night...I bet neigs. love the look too....

When I opened your post, my bifocals were off center. I saw the tall white "lantern" to the right of the tree and thought wow! that's one huge lantern! How many of those did she get?
Then I remembered your house trim wasn't white. So, I straightened out my glasses & the white "lantern" is your neighbors chimney!!LOL!! Goofey me.
Those are beautiful lanterns. And it looks like they would make a lighted path for poor stragglers traveling along the sidealk.

Those look so neat Susie...I did have to laugh though, because I was thinking that if they were in my yard, I could just see me getting all tangled up in them trying to cut the grass! I'll bet they'll look wonderful at night!

Hey NMGirl- They are tin and glass.

Tanya- Many of my neighbors love my stuff. The area children come and play on my front porch. I taught one little 10 yr old how to make totems. She is doing a fine job and her mom has rented her a booth for an upcoming sale. Full time homemakers are rare in this hood and many do not have time to devote to the 'follies' that I do. But I am planning to walk around with my camera and show you the houses where gardeners live when things green-up a bit.

primrose- Here is a sorry picture from my sorry camera (we fight constantly). My flower beds in the front of the house are full of flowering bushes in white and pinks. I did not plant them so I can not take credit. However I did take the blurred, overexposed picture of a pink one for you.

THIS snow-bunny APPRECIATES your pics, susieroses...& your camera! I hope DH strung up the lanterns for ya' ...pretty...and the flowers are beautiful! Jeanne S.

That is a very clean neighborhood!! And I gotta ask, cuz I'm from New York, no one's gonna steal them??? Holy cow! In NY you couldn't even buy a new garbage can cuz someone would steal it! HAHAHA Actually, I never had one for that reason. And here in fire-prone Oz I wouldn't dream of having lit candles hanging from ANYTHING! I've lived and am living in such a different world than you. Sigh...

Very nice! Do you light them at night then sit on the porch and look at them? You have such a lovely porch. Have a discusion with your camera, tell it your friends on GJ want to see a pic of the tree lit at night. Maybe you can bribe it with something... like fresh batteries or a new card. HAHAHA

Cait- A new card!!!!!! I'll try anything to start fresh negociations with my Kodak. I'll try a night time pic.

Those lanterns have been there for two years and none were stolen. My front porch is fully decorated and I have not had any problems loosing any of my stuff. However, two years ago some smartas_ teenager took my Maw Maw Bike (a wide tired mountain bike with baskets attached for my dogs to ride and a silicone seat for a Maw Maw bottom). They just took it down to the lake 2 blocks over and left it. I guess when he met up with his friends they laughed him to shame for taking such a "cool" bike. Not-t-t-t-t. Susie
