But, the only pictures I was able to take of it have been night pictures, which are not so good. I finally had my chance to take a good daytime picture yesterday because I've been working from home due to the EXTREME snow we've had here in the DC area.
So here she is in all of her glory:
Sorry...the pictures were a bit hard to take to show her well...and the snow glare made the windows SO bright, but you get the idea. I'm still debating if I should hang it one notch lower, but I'm afraid the bottom edge would be in Carter's line of sight when he sits at the table (he's 6' 3").
For now, I'm looking for a large ginger jar or vase to put in the center of the table to fill up some of the vertical space.
Oh, and my plan DID work! Once Carter saw it up, he liked it and all was well at the AO House. Not to say there wasn't a bit of grumbling and lecturing about the chandy we had already purchased, etc., etc....but once it was up we were all good.
p.s. Did you catch how Averill over at Odi et Amo used this lantern? I think you'll like it.
