Cute for a cottage!

I see these all over the place in the blogs that I follow and I really like them. They wouldn't look right in my urban home, but I can picture them in a cozy beach cottage or cabin! I'm curious what you think about canning jar lighting.

This one would be cute in the hallway of the cozy cottage by the ocean that I don't have...

I can picture this one over a big shabby dining table!

I would like to use two or three of these as pendant lights over a rustic island...

I'm not sure why I find these so charming, but I do. What do you think about them? Are you crafty, and maybe you could make them yourself? I might be tempted to try...if I wanted to level my house by way of explosion. I think I'll just keep dreaming of owning that beachy cottage and, in my dream, I will buy these lights off of Etsy.

My beautiful new chandelier!

Well, the boob light is gone. It had to be done, I couldn't stand looking at it for one more day!

Remember this? This 1980's style light with the lovely brass? It is no longer to be! Well, actually I saved it in case we move since I'm not leaving my chandelier behind!

So here's what I found! After a friend of mine saw our blog, she sent me an email telling me she had this wonderful chandelier that she was selling. And now...it's mine all mine!

Isn't it lovely? It's an 8 arm chandelier that is from (I'm thinking) the 1930's. I love, love, love it! I think it would be so cute with little shades on it too, but right now I will just enjoy it as is.

A huge thank you to my friend. Oh, and a small plug to the coffee shop she is part owner of...The Coffee Shop Northeast. Remember I featured them a while back? If you have yet to go for a visit, please do! You will not be disappointed. You will go for coffee and stay for lunch. This I can guarantee!

Oh how I love replacing out of style light fixtures!
