The Great Lantern Search continues...

So this past weekend, my fiance and I, yet again, stopped by Pier One to check out the lanterns we had spied a few weeks ago. We wanted to see if we still LOVED them. Well, again, we felt they were too tall. The woman at the Middletown, NY store was just wonderful though. She let us know that there were only 3 in stock at her store and then looked up all local stores and provided us with the phone numbers of each store and how many they had in stock should we choose to purchase. I just dont want to rush into it and buy them and worry about them being too tall...
So again, we looked online and I found these lanterns and they are just as gorgeous AND cheap! In my opinion they are the perfect height and have the right look. However, I am going to wait till after I go to the Country Folk Art Show at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy, NY. Because, if I can find lanterns there then why not!? But I am still thinking about those Pier One Import one's. Even the wrought iron ones there are beautiful.
Again, I dont know! I am waiting to find the one's that I LOVE!

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...
