You Light Up My Life.
Today, I’m hooked on lighting. Lighting is unbelievably important to our appreciation of the space around us. There’s nothing that kills my mood faster than a fluorescent bulb and nothing that uplifts it faster than the soft, yellow glow of fairy lights… I’ve dug up some inspiration for you below.
I’ve also dug out my credit card.
I’ll be over at Ebay bidding on lantern strands and twinkle twigs if you need me.

I love the look of fairy lights in the garden. They’re not just for Christmas!!
Good luck on Ebay — hope you win some nice lights

Those dragonflies are certainly very hard to resist!
You’re quite right, lighting can pretty much make or break the room.
I love outdoor lighting! Beautiful photos.
Little lights just really add something. When I first got married, I strung up Christmas lights in our apartment bedroom and LOVED it! The soft light was so inviting! I didn’t hang them up when we moved into our house, but I still love them!
I love fairy lights too! That first photograph is so beautiful! I love what light does when it interacts cameras, it is really phenomenal.
Ah yes….I just bought a strand of very simple lights that we hung in our gazebo of sorts.
Cute ideas with the lights! How fun!
Oh I love how lights romanticize everything.
Oh how pretty! I love those lights — I’d love to do that in our garden. Right now, all I have are a string of lights shaped like pink flamingos!
