~~~My New Lantern!!!~~~

Good Morning my friends!!! I wanted to share a housewarming gift I got before Christmas from 2 very dear friends. We have been friends for over 30 years, are former neighbors and go on an annual "girls weekend" beach trip each year in September. Our children all grew up together and went to the same schools.  Kay and Barb know I LOVE anything Asain so this lantern is the PERFECT choice for our new home!!!! Thanks SO much to both of you!!!!!!!!!!!
 It has a PLACE OF HONOR on the living room coffee table right now. I can see it from the kitchen too and I placed a flameless candle in it so at night I can light it and not worry about it. I placed it on a pretty runner that has an Asain feel too.
 I changed out the pillows on the sofa for winter too. And the Santas have been replaced with more of my blue and white jars.

 I will show you around the living room a little more soon. I LOVE these shadow shots, my very favorite!

 My hibiscus continues to flower, we have 3, 4 or 5 blooms every day! I love it.
 One more shot of my new lantern. I really love it and may move it around to different spots too. Thanks again to Kay and Barb. And thanks to all of you for your visit!!!!
XO, Pinky
