A light in the dark DSC_5648
The Smile on Saturday's group theme is "A Light in the Dark".
I have been calling the front living room/dining room combo in my house The Rose Room. That area of the house is going through some modifications and such. I can hardly wait for it to be completed.
The end tables in the Rose Room were converted from garden planters. Lights have been inserted into the pot portion of the planters and glass tabletops from my former tables were placed on top.
The light in this image comes from the light that was inserted in the planter. The Thomas Edison Figurine is a whisky decanter I found at an antique shop in Micanopy Florida recently, the seal was never broken. The figurine sits alongside of the Edison Phonograph and a few of the two minute cylinders. I like that the Edison figurine is holding a lightbulb.
Just a side note. I have an antique lamp that has been part of my life since I was very young. When I look at that lamp I laugh at all of the new technology claiming 10 year bulbs and costing a fortune.
Those bulbs never seem to last as long as they claim. However, my lamp has the same bulbs that it came with all those years ago. Two of the bulbs recently burned out and cannot be replaced. But the third bulb still works. The lamp is used nightly in my master suite. All three bulbs lasted for 40 years +. Too bad they can't or won't make bulbs that last like that anymore. It sure would help with the landfill situations.
I hope that you smile a lot today and everyday, happy snapping.
