Occasionally, something sticks with me and I begin to imagine that we NEED it. That I just can't possibly have people over to my house until I have it.
Thus, today begins the first of what I assume to be many (or maybe two, considering my propensity for giving up on things) posts on things I want, but won't be buying due to a ban on most non-essential items.
We begin in the backyard.
We have a teeny, tiny backyard. Hello, Southern California real estate. I mean, the fact that we have a yard, with both grass and planters and concrete spaces means something, but it's small. I've seen what some of y'all have posted and I have to step away from your blogs for a few days for fear the jealousy will take me down.
Anyway.
Since we spend a lot of time outside in this space, I want to make it a happy space. Hence, these.
They are just the perfect shade of green to match the pillows on our patio furniture. But, the best part is, they hang from my patio umbrella. Out of the reach of toddler fingers. So I can light citronella tealights and keep the bugs away and be safe too.
Oh, I know, they're on sale. And, they're only $9.95. But, I would need three of them. And, the chain. And probably these tealights. And, there goes $50.
So, for now, I'll come here to look at this impossibly small picture of the cutest outdoor lantern, EVER.
I know what you mean about southern California real estate. We wanted a yard soooo much, so we picked a place that has one. In exchange, we got a total shit house lol.
ReplyDeleteI love to watch those shows where they take your five square feet of outdoor space and make it look like seven,,,,or something like that. You have to be SO creative but it sounds like you ARE! Thank you so much for your kind words and concern. :) I love to come here.
