Over the years I have found that I have a love of sparkly crystal chandeliers but there is never usually the budget for buying more of them. So… when this one arrived from my hubby
it was a welcome gift!

| This little chandelier was part of items Mr. Ethereal brought home as donations to our track and field program through my husband’s workplace. This however was saved specifically for a gift for me! It was a misdirect from another company which didn’t want it returned. 🙂 |

| Here’s the little chandelier I have in the craftroom that I found in Chandler, Arizona along with a vintage desk that I brought back from my family’s Easter trip to visit family in Texas, 1998. |

| Sweet rose garlands and grapevines are draped across the dining room chandelier’s lower arms for summer. The pearl garland went on at Christmas time a year ago and has just stayed. |
 Here is that same dining room chandy decorated
with a couple of ropes of faux greenery for
Christmas time.
{Sorry the photograph is so blurry! Was taken with my first iPhone or my
really old flip phone… LOL!}
 *Update 2018*
Still love this open dining and living room combination
with its travertine marble flooring that we installed
ourselves (Hubby and my daughter) and with a
compass rose in the entryway floor that I designed.
The 1990’s chandy looked lovely in every season as I
finally realized it’s really fun to decorate one’s chandelier
with different hanging baubles throughout the year!
Here in this incarnation the chandy has little swans
hanging among its crystal drops.

 Here is another photo of this new-to-me sweet little chandelier  I was also thinking I might like to hang it above the window seat
in our master bedroom ~ this window seat area is a great place
to hang out and read or sit and watch t.v.
Our daughter enjoys sitting there reading when I’m just
sitting and reading in my little chair  Part of me also wants to add it to the craft room because I have another vintage one in there and the two would be fun hanging together!!
Plus it would make for better lighting at nightime ~
always an issue in this bedroom-turned-craftroom.

for the holidays.
(My same friend says I ought to put up plastic all around it and
spray paint it white!)
