The little things

 that make me smile.  Well.... close anyway.  

I bought these little tins and the battery tea lights from the dollar store.  That little flame light looks like this ...


So I cut waxed paper and lined the tin with a double layer.  
Now the entire cutout glows.

That's better.


Waxed paper.  Who knew?

o my goodness, Marly... what a revelation... you are so clever.
Hope our $Tree has some of those tins left... Bless you.

Good idea, the lanterns look much better with the wax paper. I still haven't gotten any Halloween decorations from the attic. Not sure I will this year - why bother for 5 days? Maybe I'll get the generic fall ones down for Thanksgiving.

Marly: You are very creative; a great mind works always thinking of wonderful ideas to use.
love the tins I need to go to the dollar store and see if I can find them.
