While you're waiting for Hetti's project, check out what I got at a yard sale yesterday. $2.00
Thumb of 2011-09-04/dahtzu/4f1284
Now look at the easy make-over.
Thumb of 2011-09-04/dahtzu/b9379c There is a hole in both ends of the globe, one to small and the other to large for the solar light to fit into. I am choosing the large hole and that hole will have to have something to hold the solar part up. Will choose something of clear glass so the light will shine through.
Thumb of 2011-09-04/dahtzu/e88b62
Have nothing that is an exact fit so have to figure out someway to make the clear glass reast on the edge of the globe. This is where the chain and my old stand-by Silicone come into play. By adding a thick ring of Silicone around the opening and placing the chain on the edge of the opening, I am able to make the clear glass that is holding the Solar light sit on top of the globe.

I have been lucky at yard sales and I think It's because I go early. The most valuable luck to me is having you for my friends. Group hug

I sure wish you could spread all that rain around, we need it here and I know those west of me need it even more. But I'm so glad that glue held up. I thought it would. It holds up to all this heat and humidity, too.

I know Sharon. I've been praying for those poor folks in Texas as well as everyone else that has been so dry. I am telling you. We went from almost cracked ground to mud in just a few days. The ditches are still rising. I'm in a flood zone, so I pray the rain stops a while until the ground can absorb it.

On the way to the FM we stopped at a yard sale that the Search and Rescue Team was having. Got this for $5. The wood shelf top just begs for a mosaic treatment of some type, don't you think? I plan to use it outside.
