I’m always up for getting crafty, Willi! And I obviously have access to a lot of wire-friendly snippers and twisters (not to mention my seaglass stash, which I’m still thinking of using for some type of chandelier to hang over the patio). Let me know when the mood strikes.

Penny–I think I may need to go on a trip to France just for the yogurt jars (and the cheese, and the bread, and the gardens…)

Mari–Love, love, love the sea glass idea! We should get together sometimes and get crafty!

I love these! I wondered why I’ve been saving little jars, and now I know.

It would also be fun to wrap seaglass into the wires above the mouth (you could do a few more than 2), so the colors in the glass would catch the light. Oooh.

And you’ll have more trees soon enough that you might as well start stockpiling them for a marvelous party! Maybe under the deck.

I made these same lanterns with yogurt jars we brought back from France 2 years ago. I love them! Great photos.
