"New" Christmas Lantern

12 years ago

A few weeks ago, I found this lantern at GdWl for $24.99.

It was originally from Target and was $49.99 there! It is 24" tall and 11" wide.

I had time to decorate it Sat. AM while DH took the DGK's to a Christmas parade.

I love how it turned out!! Instead of candles, I filled the inside with gold ornies, pinecones, silk holly, and faux apples.

Since we did the family Christmas celebration Sat. PM, and the California DGK's left last night, I am actually sitting down!!!

Merry Christmas to all,
Candy

You SAT down? Another Christmas miracle, LOL.

That lantern is wonderful. I was going to put ornies in mine this year, tho its not near as big. But I love how they look decorated this way. (mine still stored tho).
You got a good buy on that one, its really pretty.

I keep looking at big ones when I go to Hobby Lobby, and they sure are hard to resist . Someday I will be coming home with one. Can't believe someone sent that to GW, WOW. Congratulations on that score.

hugs, Karen

Candy, so glad you found a lantern to decorate! They are
expensive even at GW. I love mine like that with the pinecones
painted on it. Never did add Christmas balls or greenery like I
had planned to this year for Christmas. Love the ribbons and
picks on the top. Thanks for sharing, it might get me motivated
to replaced the candy cane candle with a snow scene next month.LOL
