Day 4 of our Gift Guide -- Lanterns!




I am a huge fan of lanterns, all shapes and sizes. I have a few hanging from our pergola and use some as table lighting. Choose from off white finishes or more traditional tones. Our Washed Ashore lanterns have a frosted glass insert which makes for a beautiful candle glow ($39.99 each). The dark grey nautical lanterns featured here are available in two sizes and come with a chain for hanging on your trellis ($39.99-$42.99). Some lanterns are so beautiful they can actually become your table centerpiece. The frosted globe lantern set above is such a set! ($149.99 for set) Three varying sizes each with a seashell finial . . . you really do not need anything else on your table! Of course, we carry lovely candle scents to remind you of the beach from Colonial Candle.

I especially love to decorate with lantners around the Holidays. I filled our front planters with a wreath laid flat down and rested a lantern there . . . the new flameless candles are great for this purpose. Use some branches and greenery to make a backdrop and add your favorite decorations. Hang a few of your favorite shells from the branches and you are all set!

I am always on the hunt for lanterns and like my the rest of my style, I like to mix and match sizes and patterns. Remember, 10% off with coupon code SLEIGH!
