A New Tea-themed Chandelier

Last Friday I went to visit a girlfriend who lives near my childhood stomping grounds - my excuse for no blog post that day.   Sorry!

We had fun visiting an interior decor store, an antique mall, a thrift shop, and having lunch together.

Our first stop was the interior decor store. 


There were many lovely things, but half-way through the store I spotted a beautiful teapot/teacup chandelier that definitely called my name!   I oohed and aahed over it, and told the saleslady I'd think about it.  After we left the store, I called my hubby to ask if he'd be willing to take down the current light fixture, and put up a new one.   He said he would, so I happily returned to the store to make the purchase.

It will hang over my dining room table when it's installed, but to get a photo for this post, it's hanging on a hook that normally holds a leaded glass piece.  This is the 'before' photo. The 'after' photo may be awhile depending on how soon I purchase the ceiling medallion, and hubby gets it hung. 

I'm so happy with my purchase, and can hardly wait to have it lighting our mealtimes.
