The Chandelier Tree

My computer is in a corner, a dark corner. And my back is to the whole room, where all the light is. So two years ago I put a little Pottery Barn Easter Egg tree in the corner behind my computer monitor and strung it with rice lights.

Last December, I bought a couple miniature chandelier ornaments for the Christmas tree and hung them on my little corner tree temporarily until we put up the Christmas tree. I loved the look so much that the chandeliers never did get put on the Christmas tree.

There is room for four more little chandeliers on the tree. I bought the beads to make them but haven’t had time. Meanwhile, I can work on the computer and my whole corner is all sparkled up. =)

I think a Chandelier Tree would make a beautiful wedding reception table decoration. It would be expensive to do a couple tables and I’m not sure how the electric lights could be powered but it would look amazing.

Capturing Sunlight

The sun barely enters our north-facing house most of the year, but from October to March, we get a little bit more.
The afternoon rays passed by my desk too swiftly today so I balanced a book on the edge to extend the desk. Then I hung a little plastic chandelier ornament to capture the light for as long as possible.  A glass chandelier would splash splinters of sun everywhere but I’m content with my little plastic ornament until I get a glass one made.
