The family got crafty this afternoon and put together an outdoor chandelier over our patio table. On a pot rack, we hung a string of solar star lights, a few birdhouses the girls painted at a friend’s birthday party, a ceramic fish Cherry made at school, and a fish-shaped clothes hanger that was too cool to throw away. The prisms were collected from a light fixture, trashed from my drama teacher days, and beads were strung on stainless steel wire, an artistic staple around our house. It’s creative, and we made a memory too.
