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.
