Candlelight
sets the mood for just about any occasion, warm summer nights included.
Whether hanging from a tree or used as a table centrepiece, lanterns
are the perfect way to light up your outdoor space...and everyone looks
better by candlelight, wouldn't you agree? Lanterns have more impact
when grouped together and here are just a few of my favourites...

No
need to break the bank for your next dinner party, simple Mason jars
can be found at any thrift store for 10 cents apiece. Leave them as they
are or give them a quick coat of spray paint for an instant colour
boost. And they make great gifts too! Is it happy hour yet?

Also, if you buy a lot of glass jars of food like for pickles, roasted red peppers, mayonaise or things like that, many of the jars can be used for candles after you use up their contents. Just soak them in water to peel off the labels and glue. Then you have a great collection of glass jars to add fun anywhere.
