Lighting

I have nearly 100 glass flowerpot candle holders.

They were used on the dining tables at the wedding reception of a couple of our friends and were intended to be souvenirs for the guests.  Many people didn't choose to take them with them and when Tracy asked if anyone had a use for them, I spoke up.  I think they're great.  They are clear glass and tea lights drop right in the bottom.

I have made hangers of wire to put some of them around the fence when I've had parties in my back yard, but never used all of them. One hundred is a lot of candles.

I'm thinking that as the solar lights burn out, as they eventually will, I'll replace them with clear glass flowerpots.  Tea lights are cheap and readily available.  I can leave the holders upside down so they don't collect rainwater and invert them when they need to be used.

This will mean people who want to use the labyrinth at night may want to let me know they are coming, though if they bring their own candles, they won't need my preparation.

It will also mean that when it snows, I won't have the alien landing strip glowing underneath the whiteness.  But snow clouds block the sun and the lights don't glow very brightly then, anyway.

I love candles flames burning around the labyrinth.  They make my heart glad and my eyes happy.  The solar lights are very functional, but, to my amusement, not as warm.
