Re-Purposed SUMMER GLASS LANTERNS...

 L*O*V*E SUMMER NITES ~ Sitting on the Screened-In-Porch, with LANTERNS Aglow...  I've been seeing way toooo many Made-In-China ones - so I repurposed some older Blue Fruit Jars with "wire handles"!*!*!  - Added a little "sand" along with a "votive candle"...

 The older LAKE TO LAKE Box is from a

 Cheese Factory in Wisconsin...

  A FaB "go-with" to showcase the

  ~*~Re-Purposed~*~ Fruit Jar Lanterns!*!*!

Plain Tall Blue Ball Canning Jars work as well, but just don't have the character that the **Wire Handle** adds...

**August ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! ViNtaGe Seaside Lobster Vignette**

Each month I arrange a special vignette in our entry to compliment the season....  August to me says ~ Seaside, Sand, Lanterns, & Lobsters!!!  Here's what developed this year...    

SuMMeR "Seaside" Vignette...

I bought the lantern some years back...   It was well "covered with mud/dirt"...  After a good scrubbing, it revealed one of "The BeSt" ChiPPy Paint Loss Patinas!!!  - What a FaB FiNd...

(click on pic to enlarge details...)

These 100 Year-Old-PlusVintage Bottles have taken on a Translucent "Rainbow-Like" PaTiNa...

The one on the left is an 1880's Medicine Bottle...  The other an 1870's Whiskey Flask...

While most collectors favor a more "Mint Condition Bottle" - I just LoVe the PaTiNa that has naturally occurred on these...  Years of exposure to nature's minerals & water deposits produce such a PaTiNa - Just PeRfeCt for a "Seaside" theme...

  

Old Fishing Nets...

Metal Industrial Basket...

Time-Worn Fishing Buoy...

 While on Washington Island, just off the Door County, Wisconsin Peninsula, we recently picked up this ViNtaGe Ships Running Light...    ~  Being fueled by oil, I would date this from around the late 1800's...  It's top brass tag identifies  a manufacturer in Chicago...

Not as commonly seen, - ViNtaGe 1950's LoBsTeR Tablecloth!*!*!

Does this Say S*U*M*M*E*R... or what!?!?!
