As soon as we walked into the pharmacy we were both smitten with this delightful, lighted ornament. We don’t make many snap purchases like this, but it was seniors discount day, so we were rendered helpless. What with winter almost here and Christmas coming soon, it will work as a decoration for both situations, so we splurged. It will be a source of light and bright in the dark, wintry months
In the evening, I decided to try both a photo and video, just holding the phone freehand in the low light. Whatever editing I did subsequently was on the phone. The photo doesn’t carry the total impact of how strikingly pretty the ornament really is, but it does yield an approximation. The frame is very white in the daylight but yellow like this when the machine is on and when the snow is swirling around the cardinals..
Blogger's in a mood this morning. My pictures were appearing however they chose, despite repeated tries. I did get them right, then went back in and found the most important one had vanished. It's back now. I think.
ReplyDeleteWhat size is the ornament?
I guess a little taller than a foot. Something like that.
DeleteNow I know what triggers impulse buys…tiny, colorful, shiny, and it moves!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. I can understand the attraction!
ReplyDeleteI agree, it is very pretty. Congratulations on your purchase.
ReplyDeleteIt's really perfect! And useful as a night light!

I would have snapped that up, too!
ReplyDeleteMay you have a beautiful winter together!
ReplyDeleteWe need pleasant light like that at this time of year. The days are so short!
ReplyDeleteAh, that's nice!
ReplyDeleteI love that too. I had to have an Xmas lantern when I saw John's. It makes me happy to put it out every year.
ReplyDeleteI totally understand the attraction. It is a pretty little thing. Is it battery or electric or USB?
ReplyDeleteAlmost surprisingly these days, it is electric.
DeleteThat would be a major selling point for me, right there. Someone gifted me a beautiful lantern. It is battery operated. I feel as if I can't enjoy it.
DeleteThat is so cute. I love that.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty!
ReplyDeleteSeniors' discount day supplies me with dopamine periodically as well.
ReplyDeleteI can see why you couldn't pass this up, and heck ya, with a senior discount, it's like icing on the cake!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely lantern. I was given something similar two years ago by my son and daughter-in-law one Christmas. It's specifically for that time of the year and there are the cardinals. I know this will give you both a lot of pleasure as mine has done.
ReplyDeleteOh my! This is just so cool! I can see why you decided to get it.
