I mean I like the shape and all but I'm more 'spiritual' than 'religious'. Do you think I'll go to hell if I sell them at my garage sale? What if I sell them for less than 1/3 retail?Drama Mama Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04791614198359894939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087758190945894020.post-4073533430775512202012-05-12T19:29:43.878-05:002012-05-12T19:29:43.878-05:00Ha~!

What about a small lantern style fixture? Tina at The Enchanted Home had some great fixtures.
