behind the times.......

I am seeing more and more crystal chandeliers just hanging in the stores......

does that mean they are "behind the times".....


or maybe it's just me! at any rate....this chandelier I bought from a garage sale for $20
in the town where we raised our first 2 children, and it was hanging in my "minlaw's" kitchen....



but it's come back to me (yeah) and after a good cleaning, it will be hanging in here:

my little nook is so excited.....it's attached to my living room, and used to be where I was after having baby number 5........(see here)



DON'T FORGET TO ENTER MY GIVEAWAY..........

it's down below somewhere.......

funny tidbit: it was in November of 2008 that nook got a remodel, and now again in November....hhhhmmm.....funny!

  4. I love it. My grandmother has one in her home. Harder times when my mom and I lived with my grandparents, my bed set under it. Great memories at their home.

  9. It's a beautiful shape! I paint mine with acrylic paints in whites or greys to lighten them a bit. They are a bit fiddly to do ... But that natural used look is lovely too and much less time consuming for a busy mum!

  11. one can't have too many crystals ...

    They've been in vogue for many many years ...it's just that they weren't on the magazine covers til a while ago ... it seems once they hit the covers everyone thinks it's a new concept ... I'm SURE you've loved them a long time!

    hey, let's get together, yeah yeah yeah
