**★★★★★ — User, Feb. 2017**

> We saw an example of Margaret's truly innovative designs for decorative landscape lighting in a friend's yard.  We then approached her to see what she might do for our situation.  She had a remarkable number of ideas and she worked with us for as long as it took for us to be completely satisfied.  We've gone on to get more of her work for our daughters.She has been a delight to work with.

**★★★★★ — Rowena Matthews, Feb. 2017**

> Margaret Joplin has been working with us on our patio and house for over a decade, and we have been thrilled with the projects she has done for us.  She completely redesigned our patio, making it both lovely and functional and organizing all the different artisans who had to accomplish the work.  She also helped us rebuild our air conditioning enclosure, and most recently designed and installed a rain chain.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Are the globes filled with lamp oil and have a wick?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Love this! Where can one buy the globes?

A: The "nob" on the top is a copper fitting where the water comes out.  There are many particulars to the fountains and for a basic idea it is around $4500.  There are many issues.  I am going to send our digital brochure of our glass works to your email address.

Thank you for the interest,
Margaret
