MORE JUNK GARDEN STUFF but this time in the form of lighting.

On the blogs I've seen old indoor globe lights repurposed for use outdoors. So, of course, I had to find a globe light at a tag sale which was relatively easy, fast, and cheap. I took off the electrical part of the light and then it hung around most of the summer in this condition:


 Then I added a string of white Christmas lights (white cord). Tag sale item also.



I also found THIS at a tag sale. I don't know what it is exactly but I really liked it and it was $3. When I got it home I put it in the garden. It was a dull black color.





 I've got this great polish - Black Iron Stove Polish - I used to get it at Home Depot but they don't carry it anymore so I have to order it online. I use it on my stove fireplace insert and it makes that stove absolutely GLOW. So I tried it on this piece and WOW. What a difference! It glows and has turned color, too. It's a pewter color now. Love it.



 Then I thought HEY, what if I put these two items together - the globe and this lantern thingee??? So I did and got THIS!


 I took some pictures at twilight and came up with these.

Love the golden glow.


 It lights up the walkway in the front of the house. Now I'm thinking I need more of these. Maybe different sizes, shapes, etc. It makes tag saling more fun if you have something to hunt for.




Michele painted me a gourd for Christmas.  Here is the link to that past post. Well, it fell and the back and bottom got broken so I decided to put it in the garden as a fairy house. You'd hardly notice it's broken, right?

Fairy House

 Hope everyone enjoyed this post.

Blessings.

P.S. My sister, Carol, approved of this post. Yay!
