Not as commonly found as you would think...

I'm ALWAYS am On-The-Hunt

 for ViNtaGe Lanterns

And Rarely come across them...  This was actually the upper housing of a "one-time" electrified piece... I removed 2 of the glass panels to allow better viewing and air circulation for a votive candle...

 I used an Old SaLvaGed Architectural

 Column Base as a Prop for the Lantern...

  Being F*A*L*L* ~ a hint of  "Bittersweet Berries"

 added just the right amount of color to "Make-It-PoP"!*!*!

This **Keeper~FiNd** is soon to be our 

Kitchen Table CenterPiece...

Come the HoLiDays ~ I'll switch-out the adornments

 with "greens & red berries...

Downton Abbey Servant's Bell ~ OMG!*!*!

For sometime now, Frog Husband and I have been enjoying or should I say "Have Been Hooked" on watching Masterpiece Theater's

 DOWNTON ABBEY...

We spent many a cozy winter afternoon, taking a coffee break - Catching Up to this year's Season Three...  This was such a special treat for me ~ NEVER BEFORE, BOTH OF US BEING HOME MID-DAY DURING THE WEEK...

**********

  I had fallen in  love with many things

about "Downton"~ especially the

ringing of the **Servant's Bell** at the

beginning of each episode...

 OMG!*!*!  ~  OMG!*!*!  ~  OMG!*!*!

~** ToDay's BiRthDAy SuRpRisE **~

Y*E*S - It Is "The Servant's BeLL"...

Sweet *Frog Husband* Surprised me with this

 ViNTAGe "Servant's Bell"

Soooooo similar to the ones seen on Downton Abbey... Although not Black with Shiny Brass ~

  - I JuSt L*O*V*E the PaTiNa on This One
and wouldn't want it any other way!*!*!
FaB time~worn PaTiNa!*!*!
The "Ring Tone" is exactly the same...

Downton Abbey's 
Servant Bells...

Although last night's Season Finale
was quite a downer ~ "What were they thinking"???  We're Still looking forward to Season Four...
