What is a hobby? A collector versus a hoarder? I love lights and stained glass and sparkles. Love sparkles! One of my sisters visited me a couple of months ago, spotted the three cut glass globes that dangle from my dining room ceiling. That sister said: "Hey! Somebody gave me something similar to those lights! You want them?" I said You bet!! Second sister just visited with us. That stay turned out much nicer than anticipated. She ferried the lights to us. Yesterday helper came over to put light bulbs into the milk glass chandelier that is above my head. Now this elderly Victorian Plain Jane house is alive with sparkles. The photo shows the latest inmate.

@LindaOhio I think so. They do look like pineapples. I love the way Helper made it so that one dangles lower than the other. He is young and thoughtful.

I think they look beautiful! It's wonderful when vintage items are given new life. Especially when they are often more well crafted than items made currently.

@AmberPam Thanks. I agree with you. The metal around the glass lights appears to be brass or something; heavy and not plastic for sure.
