“No my friend, darkness is not everywhere, for here and there I find faces illuminated from within; paper lanterns among the dark trees.”
Carole Borges (American, author, poet)

PLACE: Living room
SUBJECT: Paper lanterns
I made these paper lanterns last night to decorate for the DramaQueen’s birthday party we had tonight and also for Thanksgiving. I think Thanksgiving is such an overlooked holiday when it comes to decorations – in the stores, as soon as Halloween ends, Christmas takes over and Thanksgiving gets the shaft – well, that’s not going to happen in my house. So there! These lanterns are just some cardstock I had on hand, cut into strips, then punched and threaded with some natural hemp cording. I made ten of them in five colors and two sizes. I varied the lengths of the cord so they are staggered as they hang. So simple, yet it makes me happy looking at them.

Happy Birthday, DramaQueen!
I love the holiday lanterns, the colors of autumn ... let's enjoy autumn and Thanksgiving!
Ack ~ Christmas trees decorated and Christmas music playing in Dillard's when I was there last week.
Nicely done! I hate that Thanksgiving is ignored too.
Happy Birthday to DQ!
