...an enchanted driftwood chandelier

 

hello my sweets!

 

do you ever find yourself seeking something,

that you can't quite put your finger on?

 

you just know that when you see it ~

 

you.  will.  know.

 

well!

this is the story

of just such an item

 ...

and how it came to be :)

 

 

 

 

a few ~ l o n g ~ weeks ago

i set out on a quest

to find a chandelier for my studio table.

 

not just ANY chandelier

 

THE chandelier!

 

an enchanting chandelier that would illuminate my pretties

as i created them...

and delight my heart to turn it on.

 

for my studio IS a magical place...

 

 

 

 

in those weeks of my quest,

i would find something that i thought "might" work,

bring it home ~

 

hold it up

 

and hold my breath!

 

 

yah no!!

 

notta

 

and

 

NO!

 

was usually the response from my lips...

 

i felt like Goldilocks, i tell ya!

 

 

 

 

i had grown weary of looking

 

until one day, while creating at my studio table

a light bulb went on,

so to speak

 

LOL!!

 

and these photo's are the result of that epiphany that day...

 

 

 

 

yep!

as you may have already guessed

i ended up designing,

 what my heart was seeking...

 

which is what i should have done to begin with!!

 

 

 

 

a few lace covered pieces of perfectly greyed driftwood,

a hand gathered white linen shade,

crystal swags that dance when the sun hits them or the light is lit...

all spun into one enchanting chandelier!

 

 

sigh...

 

 

 

 

another sea washed treasure,

to adorn my cottage...

 

 

 

 

this is my studio table...

it is ever so magical when i plug in my fairy lights around the table

and my enchanted driftwood chandelier!

 

most especially as the days start to grow shorter...

 

 

 

 

 

i know it will provide much more than just light

in the coming months ahead,

as i sit beneath it

 and create away...

 

 

 

 

for it will also allow me to be swept away

and dream

if only for a moment or two...

on such things as the beautiful sea

 

 

 

 

and pondering on other fairytale delights,

to share with all of you!!

 

 

 

 

 

like, perhaps this sea silk rhinestone cuff ...

 

 

 

i hope you enjoyed your visit today!

thanks for stopping by...
