lol -- you sound like me! it doesn't matter WHAT I hang, it's crooked, and my BF has to rehang! I found a great light fixture at a GS today, and a concrete birdbath base at a different GS....pix to follow.....

Its neat to have something repurposed like that when it holds such memories for you. Sure makes a pretty birdbath too!

hugs, Karen

Very pretty, Marlene! How did you attach the chain? Did you have to drill a hole in the shade? Besides being pretty, it is cool that the shade as a family history too!

Very pretty, I love those kind of fixtures. That one is extra pretty and a nice family piece to boot. I love the way the crystals frou-frou it up. I used to see those everywhere for next to nothing, but like everything else they are getting harder to come by and the prices have risen accordingly.

The crystals I used actually are Christmas ornaments I snarfed up after Christmas for 50% off at Target! Only .50 each! Woohoo!

Very pretty, I bet the birds feel very special when they take a bath in that. I know I'd feel special in it, but you'd probably kick me out! Cheryl

That is a great idea and very pretty too.
