Decorating: Halloween

via

DIY Project: Outdoor Chandelier

Create an enchanting retreat in a corner of your yard with a chandelier you can make in an hour. All you need is a wire basket, a few glass jars, and some chandelier crystals.

Pick out a wire basket with a handle and a flat base (find at home and garden shops, online auctions, and thrift or antique stores). Some are designed to hold glassware or small pots ― the built-in partitions will hold your jars in place.

Hang your crystals from the base and top; for a very fancy look, loop two strands of glass beads across the bottom.

Attach your chandelier to a patio roof or tree with a length of matching chain or a metal plant hanger. When you're seated, it should float just above eye level. Place tea lights or votives in the jars, light the candles, and enjoy the glow!

Seattle's Swanky Nest has a great selection of baubles.

In Memory of 9.11.01

I captured this image of the small candle I have lit today in memory of those who lost their lives, those who survived and for those who gave their service on 9.11.01. It is also for those who continue to give service and protect our freedom across the world. This photograph is our small tribute to say thank you.

If you would like to purchase a copy of this image it will be available in our Etsy shop as a special edition print in various sizes. The proceeds from any sale of this fine art photograph will be donated to Operation Family Fund.

NEVER FORGET

Never forget the victims and heroes of September 11, 2001.

Never forget what it means as Americans to persevere.

Never forget the freedoms we cherish.

Never forget our military families.

Never forget the children waiting for Mommy or Daddy to come home.

Never forget the parents who pray each day for their

son or daughter's safe homecoming.

Never forget all those who serve.

Never forget our veterans from all wars.

Never forget to fly your flag.

Never forget those who paid the ultimate price.

Never forget.

FREEDOM ENDURES.
