... It's the Humidity, or Sunjars to the Rescue!
Omigod the weather has been DISGUSTING. Something from the latest hurricane swept into town a few days ago and added a big dose of the tropics to our dessert air. We were already hot - but adding this layer of gloopy wetness to the amosphere made us Southern Californians go crazy with the air conditioners ... and the electricity went out - all over LA.
It was AWFUL! My lovely husband took me out for a romantic dinner (in unaffected Pasadena), and we came home to a dark, boiling hot house and two puppies in a panic. It kind of killed the mood. I went to gather candles, but the thought of lighting them and adding to the heat made me sick. Then, the proverbial lightbulb went on in my brain - I have SUNJARS!
I went outside and gathered them up from all corners of the garden. Inside, my makeshift outdoor lighting lit the house with a lovely orange glow that didn't add one degree to the heat.
So I am an even bigger fan of these than I was before!
Everyone should have at least one - you can use them in so many ways:
-Outdoor lighting
-Nightlights
-Emergency lighting
-Hostess gifts
-Chunky illuminated pendant necklace (you just need to add a chain)
One could save your life!
Great lighting tip. I just finished my patio, they would look so pretty dotted all around!
Hope the humidity is gone!

Do it, Mergirl! They are so warm and beautiful. Some friends say they remind them of honey jars, others of little glowing pumkins ... either way, the do-it-yourself Sunjar is the way to go!
Thanks for stopping by!
I just checked out your store - you have beautiful clothes! Do you make them? Wow...
