From Lowe's, below, chandelier in my new Conservatory.

SHIPMAN called from Buenos Aires last month, "Found you the perfect chandelier, want it?"

SHIPMAN dismantled the chandelier & packed it in a fruit crate for its trip home.

SHIPMAN brought a bottle of wine & 2 crystal glasses for the hanging & gossip fest.

SHIPMAN & I decided it must have summer shades & winter shades.

I'm on the prowl for those shades.
.
SHIPMAN & I decided the chandelier is only about 80 years old, we pouted a moment about its youth but decided its great backstory, into my Conservatory, adds patina. At least to us.

Life is good.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

Voicemail from SHIPMAN this morning, "You must come for lunch in my conservatory this week." Yes, life is good. Now, how to get the time...........

Hi Tara, I did a quick post on Susanne's garden and wanted to let you know about it. I hope you'll stop by. Have a great day, Theresa
Ooooooooooh!
Good choice, Shipman. I like this rustic ornateness you have created!
I am so jealous of your conservatory! it keeps on getting cuter and cuter!!!!!!!
A chandelier in a conservatory, I love it Tara!!
I thought of you today when I was flipping thru photos of a garden in New Zealand...I hope to post it in the next few days. I will let you know when I do. Some very original garden creations...very clever :)

Looks gorgeous and I'm sure your enjoying your time out in the conservatory! A wonderful thing to have! :D
Oh its gorgeous, lucky you! ;-)
Oh YES Tara...this is so much nicer than the other one...much more fitting for it's surroundings! And I like that it has a bit of 'history' to it also...just what your conservatory needs since all the peices have a history of their own. Perfect!
Maura :)
Great find, it's beautiful!
Surprising, how it looks so different from the day and evening photos. Both perfect.
Stay warm, Lynea
