New Ways to Light up Your Life!

Well, maybe not light up your life, but these ideas will add ambiance.   I love to use those faux pillar-style candles that have the fake flame. These faux candles are perfect to put inside of containers, and some even have timers so you don't have to go around your house in the evening when you are heading off to bed turning off your candles. It does lose some of it's romance if you think about it.

The picture below shows some of my vintage flour sifters on an antique serving tray.  Each sifter has a faux candle. In the evening, a very pretty glow develops in the sifter.

Next is a old grater.  This one also has a faux candle. Again, it is very pretty at night. If the grater is by a wall, it casts a nice shadow.  This grater is also very portable! You can bring it outside and use it on your patio table for a lovely evening picnic, or even bring it to an outside concert with your vegan picnic basket full of goodies.

This next grater has white X-mas lights tucked inside.  I do change the light string for holidays.  Red for X-mas, Valentines Day, and the 4th of July. You can do green for St. Patrick's Day, pink for Easter, and orange for Thanksgiving and Halloween.

Lastly, this is a vintage thread spool.  Again, this is a faux candle but the details are more realistic compared to the short stubby pillar style.
