yesterday, I put some up on the bedroom window, after I took off the screen… I covered one completely and did half of the second one so I could still see out…
I was thrilled to discover that the bubbles for these two panels were heart-shaped;-)…
the hope was they would work with the wooden lamp standard that we discovered up in the rafters of the garage (since its discovery, I’ve added extra garland to fill it out)…
I’d been waiting for some sunshine since they arrived and on Sunday afternoon the sun finally came out…
I rushed out and set them in the planter on the front step to gather power… then, once it was dark, I hurried out to see how they looked…
nothing, not a glimmer;-(…
on Monday, I searched through the box and found the directions, lol… apparently you need to attach the stand to them before they can work… and, that they can work in a window in the house… so I was outside again and connected them to the fastener…
fingers crossed…
that still didn’t work, sigh… yesterday I took one of them and looked carefully on the back and really pushed the on/off button…
well, that worked… took quite a while to wrap two sets around the lantern post but I am pleased with the results;-)…
as we declutter the basement, we have found a few things to move into other areas of the house… and our goal is to set the items up as they get moved, lol…
most recently, a light fixture that originally came from my parents’ apartment made its way into the den…
it got screwed into the wall, a smart bulb was added to it and connected to Google Home…
working nicely and it will be great for guests when the couch transforms to a bed;-)…
had breakfast out and then we went to Home Depot, found plants, pots, and rocks… then it was on to Rona to check for different pots, and back to Home Depot to pick up the first one, lol…
when we got home the plant light that had been ordered had arrived…
at last, everything was potted, put together, and set up;-)…
I think it was a good birthday for the twenty-three year old;-)…
