Oh, I really like the shape of those shades, they would be lovely turned right side up with little tea lights sitting down in them!

I agree I agree I agree Sometimes when there is a huge brain delay, I can post somewhere on here and I get a 1000 ideas thrown at me, then I have to decide which I like the best. I'm getting a brain pain just typing this much. I keep focusing on those shades. Upside down on solar lights with see through colored balls on top.

The shades would have to be clear for the solar lights to work, though.

Oh, Ok, that is good info. I had planned on using them in my shades, maybe if I turn mine up the other way they might work. Thanks.

A friend lined her walkway at Christmas with these shades. Keeping them just like Tee has them. She places a fragrant tea light on the path and placed the globe over them. It was like a fairy land and I almost gasped when I saw how inviting it looked. All of hers were exactly the same ... breathtaking!

Oh my, Lin I can't believe I haven't posted here yet! I'm with Becky, I haven't been able to stop thinking about these since I read the thread - I love the idea! Lovey dubby The glass shades were at the top of my list when I hit the thrift stores on Monday. I scored with a couple of them but still don't have photos. Hopefully will have photos soon! I'd like to use mine with tea lights but still haven't figured how to make it work?

The shades are all the same size, Vicki, it's just the angle of the shot. But now you have me intrigued with the idea of graduated sizes. Hmmmm....

LOL, Debbie, I think we're two peas in a pod.

Hilarious!
