Fun with Lanterns and It's a Movement, the "Online Garage Sale" Movement

I've recently been inspired to use old lamps as display pieces for unusual items.


For this one, instead of placing a candle in the center, I place 3 dried roses. Plants don't do well on my porch so I tend to substitute junk
objects instead of plants. You can't kill junk. Think outside the box as to what you could put inside an old lantern.

Dishes?

the one below would make a good photo frame too

Holiday Display

What about using an old santa instead of an angel, or even an old bottle brush tree. I'm loving old lanterns, and even the tops of old lanterns work as fun garden junk.


It seems that a movement has been started. Although, I'd love to take the credit I cannot. It was all started by Mindy, then I joined in and then Cynthia. In the past week I've had 2 others ask me if they could join in too. I feel funny with them asking, because it's not like I own the idea or anything, but I began to think.
This could become something really big and really fun. So here's the deal, Anyone can join in, you just need to link to the rest of us. Let us know you are doing it, so we can link to you.
I will continue to have online weekend garage sales as long as I've got smalls to sell. Come join the fun, I sell something every week, usually more than one thing. It's a fun way to share the junk.

Questions and Answers:
Some of you have asked me questions, and I've not been able to respond directly to you, because your email address is not sent with your question when you post it here. So I'm going to do a Q&A session here.

Bucharoo asks if I'm a musician because I have a lot of music related stuff.
Answer: I don't have a musical bone in my body. But that does not keep me from singing my lungs out in the car. I love the look of musical instruments though, and like to use them in my projects. My husband and I own a Synthesizers business but I cannot play, he also plays the drums.
