Lantern Love!

I see lanterns everywhere, but yet I don't have one! So it became my quest to find one that I could display, play with and love.

In came this beauty...

Actually there were two for the price, but I decided to paint the large lantern's roof with checks...

You know, give it more personality...

But that is not the whole story. The large one came damaged with the door glass broken. So the good online company sent me a replacement set. Now I went from having none to having 4!!!

Oh what fun I am having with these...
