Snowy Scene Lantern...light fixture re-purpose

Here's another "snow globe" type lantern idea.

You might remember the BALL JAR LANTERN I shared a couple of weeks ago.

I just happened to have another broken lantern in my "stash"...

I started by taking this chippy metal lantern apart and cleaning it up.

I painted the back panel with chalkboard paint and added a picture of my "snow babies".

That globe is just a clean glass ornament flipped upside down in the empty socket.

Of course some greens and embellishments.  

You know me :)

This one is hanging right outside my front door.

They look pretty happy there don't they?

Well, I just realized how many projects left I have to show you...and how little time I have left before Christmas.

You might see me more often this next week.  

What happened to all that time?

Broken Lantern + Ball Jar = Snow Globe

Sorry I have been MIA again this week...still busy decorating and creating.  I LOVE this time of year...and for me it's not just a matter of opening some bins and putting stuff out.  I like to use things I have and create a new look each year.  Time consuming...but for me it's a little piece of Heaven on earth.  Really.

And since I'm not ready for a "reveal" of what I've been working on here...I thought I'd show you something else I made for our booth at Antiques Downtown...

I bought this empty shell of a lantern at an occasional sale...

...it was the perfect fit for a ball jar.

I painted the lid aqua for fun.

Some "snow" and a little tree...

...and of course a happy little "embellishment".

Cute little decoration for the Holidays.  

It sold right away :)

What are you working on??
