Baker Watson on Sun Jul 27, 09:04:00 AM said...: Cool. I been thinking of getting some similar lanterns to use in a couple of photo's I want to take.

Nice and colorful for the theme.
Bookfool on Sun Jul 27, 10:57:00 AM said...: Pretty! I'm a worrier like Marcia, though. We once bought a paper lantern but I couldn't talk myself into using it because I was afraid it would catch fire!!!
leslie on Sun Jul 27, 02:49:00 PM said...: What lovely lanterns! Thx for dropping by to comment. Have a wonderful weekend. :D
Pato N Pearl on Sun Jul 27, 05:07:00 PM said...: these are pretty looking lanterns and more beautiful when they're litted. Like most, I too worry if they caught fire...

Pearl - have a good weekend

2lives on Mon Jul 28, 01:19:00 AM said...: how beautiful they look, bet they look even nicer during the night

thanks for your visit
tanabata on Mon Jul 28, 04:09:00 AM said...: Thanks everyone for your comments!

Lynn- You're right, I don't see pink ones very often.

Marcia, Nancy and Pearl- Funny, I've never given any thought to how flammable they might be. I've used paper lanterns as light covers indoors many times over the years. You usually can't use the really high watt bulbs but otherwise I've never had any problems. :)

Bibliolatrist- Thank you! :)

2lives- I'm sure they would've been very pretty at night but we didn't really have time to stay later that day. Maybe next year..

Janet on Tue Jul 29, 02:19:00 AM said...: beautiful, beautiful lanterns!!!
