~~~A New GIFT!!!~~~

OMGoodness, I am so excited! The UPS man just rang the bell and we had no idea what he could be delivering since we hadn't ordered anything lately. I know, SHOCK!!!! But, we opened it up and  WHAT a BEAUTIFUL surprise!!! It is a housewarming gift from Joe's brother and SIL. A GORGEOUS pottery lantern from Pottery Barn! I am in love with it! I know I can use it all year round all over the house!! For now, this is where it will live.  I placed it on the tray on the coffee table in the living room. I love how the creamy color blends perfectly with the sofa. The openings allow me to see the candle and flame too.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk0E4siX3uKo5sAjD58V4G4BZzQLJNDlPzJyaL-Ow3XaFXtos7mGQE2hzZFoVva2CFcA3IqXURlsF5DEr0XjrZpuH73gGMdWGHfgFUsoEwc6q1rkdnvbhI9bLArw3cM3QoOgSv76XEYM8/s1600/IMG_0103.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk0E4siX3uKo5sAjD58V4G4BZzQLJNDlPzJyaL-Ow3XaFXtos7mGQE2hzZFoVva2CFcA3IqXURlsF5DEr0XjrZpuH73gGMdWGHfgFUsoEwc6q1rkdnvbhI9bLArw3cM3QoOgSv76XEYM8/s640/IMG_0103.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I put an orange pillar candle in it for Fall.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpbBZCzIXskIeywTbCMmE24DQgnhgnaqZIrI47wkXBiypIWYgdZpQ0JD2Ro4ujVOW9lDERANA5QDFTHIMwa5pdnnBpkBYYz4ygyBIdi_KDq2UxgZtxGGv1OUnZwiadtk6fQoa1Z_xHZjU/s1600/IMG_0104.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpbBZCzIXskIeywTbCMmE24DQgnhgnaqZIrI47wkXBiypIWYgdZpQ0JD2Ro4ujVOW9lDERANA5QDFTHIMwa5pdnnBpkBYYz4ygyBIdi_KDq2UxgZtxGGv1OUnZwiadtk6fQoa1Z_xHZjU/s640/IMG_0104.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6YpYzmS1eAhZJAeI-IHIBhhPryQC5IEFySNvaFXbjBuNdMZA4DOECgxA7cKCqTWXpb6Nw4RNDwT3fJhvV5S2MGFArr2MgbK8Cw7K67OsbdSyV9DXGJTc10xHaF7O7mZDNQMg_JeUl9Rg/s1600/IMG_0105.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6YpYzmS1eAhZJAeI-IHIBhhPryQC5IEFySNvaFXbjBuNdMZA4DOECgxA7cKCqTWXpb6Nw4RNDwT3fJhvV5S2MGFArr2MgbK8Cw7K67OsbdSyV9DXGJTc10xHaF7O7mZDNQMg_JeUl9Rg/s640/IMG_0105.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS4nYx58RJp6QYc-eMR4V2h0ywdUaWcw_B92DAGGs-RWQtN075G8FXjIUbR62aLesN3wbT5znOEB9v-eA-ogtIq5N08PcKDRZ57l7pLs55qEEz6hgnJlOGoREamV2SEGePyXs0YQGm2pg/s1600/IMG_0106.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS4nYx58RJp6QYc-eMR4V2h0ywdUaWcw_B92DAGGs-RWQtN075G8FXjIUbR62aLesN3wbT5znOEB9v-eA-ogtIq5N08PcKDRZ57l7pLs55qEEz6hgnJlOGoREamV2SEGePyXs0YQGm2pg/s640/IMG_0106.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I also love that it is pretty from all sides!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje5xfB3ObxIqpoQ4n9-CBi2V8XPBB1y0zyFL96UqM_mvoE6wzqXF4fRq7CjOYhCuMxvgxNcUD95oqwBkrIh9SVIwDO6kOZC3CN8cXNc2ROdEdNWcfXRd5zXWCbbD5e3vp88pPUGxZroYQ/s1600/IMG_0107.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje5xfB3ObxIqpoQ4n9-CBi2V8XPBB1y0zyFL96UqM_mvoE6wzqXF4fRq7CjOYhCuMxvgxNcUD95oqwBkrIh9SVIwDO6kOZC3CN8cXNc2ROdEdNWcfXRd5zXWCbbD5e3vp88pPUGxZroYQ/s640/IMG_0107.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwkp8cL-e1S1Udx1cXwJK4Z0i3X36uDBIlbk0ux2Ofec7-F9n9Twqw6L0u4I2p2l_3q8kq_x3OwZdrxIv0eLb63pLaU9c5YUcVUmGHhyKK7V-HDjuMrYVA6UK_79KhiaGZVdaLmPMpZGY/s1600/IMG_0108.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwkp8cL-e1S1Udx1cXwJK4Z0i3X36uDBIlbk0ux2Ofec7-F9n9Twqw6L0u4I2p2l_3q8kq_x3OwZdrxIv0eLb63pLaU9c5YUcVUmGHhyKK7V-HDjuMrYVA6UK_79KhiaGZVdaLmPMpZGY/s640/IMG_0108.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> The tray has leaves and pine cones embellished on it.
