The Great Lantern Search

So, yesterday my fiance and I spent time scouring stores for lanterns. There is not much out there. The first shop we went into was in Colonie Center Mall, a store called Candles & More. They had a few lanterns that were black and very pretty, but again, not exactly what we were looking for. We stopped by Michael's, JoAnn Fabric's, Kirkland's, Burlington Coat Factory, Yankee Candle, etc.

However, the great find was in Pier 1 Imports. They had a LOT of lanterns. The lantern I loved was too tall about 2 feet, but it was the right style. So now we have more of a vision.

It gave us a great direction. Here is a better link to the actual lanterns. We love this idea so much. I think the white one's are best because they can be roughed up to look more rustic. The store did not have the smaller 12 inch one's in stock. I think if those one's HAD been there. We might have bought them.

We have decided if we cannot find 10 of the same lantern's that it would look cool to have 10 different lanterns. One different one for each table. So the lantern search continues...
