A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Solar lights... take 2!

I've been having a rough time lately, and decided that today was the day that I was going to get myself a treat, so I was thrilled to find this solar light at Christmas Tree Shops today. I'm not so crazy about all the many solar lights that are out there lately, but this one spoke my name! It came in blue or green - of COURSE I had to get the blue, to put out by my pond!

Light this afternoon when I got home in the daylight.




Tonight without even having a day to charge up in the sun - this is the light from being in the store only. I hope it gets brighter as it gets solar charged, though I'll probably have to wait a few days - it's supposed to rain all weekend.

That is sooooooooooo Freakin Awesome Lynne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It looks really Big! that's a good size for the scale of your Pond area!

I want one of those!

That is very pretty, Lynne. I really like it.

pretty. I love solar lights. They make the yard look ethereal .

PS I also like your stone wall.

I had to go back and look for the stone wall---very nice, Lynne---so glad that sheri pointed it out.

I LOVE your solar light !! WOW--it is the perfect compliment to your chair, and perfect for the pond area.
I want one of those CTS around here--you are always finding such nice things in them.

Thanks so much for showing use your latest "find". so glad for you.

Thanks everyone!

Sheri - that rock wall was all over the ground when we first moved in here - Don rebuilt it the first summer we lived here - piece by piece - it took him the entire summer - 2 months to get it all done, and in the process he got a horrible case of poison ivy - it even went through his shirt and was blistering all over his abdomen! Poor guy - the only other time I've seen him that miserable was when he got the chicken pox when Brian was 5 and shared it with him!

Anyone else get any new solar lights they'd like to share here?

i don't have any but i did want to thank you for showing us yours. it is really nice.

That is a very unusual solar light, I love it!!

Is there any brand name or mark on it?

not a classy as yours is Lynne, but,well, you asked so here it is---but surely I shared this already, right???

I have 2 more, 1 blue & 1 green, all 3 the same style----I am keeping 2 of the 3 for my long flower bed, but I am not sure which is going in my "gift bag" as of yet--- so right now all I have out is the one blue one.

That looks very nice, Carol! May I make a suggestion? Next time take the picture of the light with your camera flash turned off - it shows the light better in the solar light, though I did like seeing the structure of the light too - pretty! Maybe one of each?

The light looks like it has a good solar panel inside. I've seen quite a few of that type in both Home Goods and TJMaxx this season - guess they are popular this year. Glad you were able to get some.

well I thank yo for the info, my bad--- What I DO NOT know about the camera would fill volumns. I will try again tomorrw night--surely I wll feel better by then---
\And I am not done looking---soon I will be making a trip to my favorite nursery perhpas they will have some to tempt me???

Garden ridge is full of solar lights too all designs and shapes,, Can't wait until Pay day!

Ohhh Lynn they have a butterfly Like your Mushroom ( same size scale),,

The butterfly sounds very nice Diane - hope you get it and show us!!!


Glenda - I forgot to mention - the name of the company that made mine is Garden Meadow Inc, but I did an extensive online search last night and didn't come up with anything - sorry.

garden ridge......It's about an hour away but I'll go out there this week. I think Johnny's right. I'm spending more on gas than I would have if I had bought that $50.00 pot out right.

HERE Is What I got In new solar light for
down by lake I got them at Lowes for 4 dollar's each
my first time buying any they look pretty at nite.just got a few to see how they looked so guess I will go Bk today and Get more

I'll bet the lake looks pretty with lights near it. Good price too.

YES as you come down our road they show up and
look great, and for first time having the price wasn't
too bad, but later i would like to get bigger one's

Betty, how is the brightness on those? I was tempted to buy a couple but wasn't sure how many i'd need based on brightness...

can you take a night time picture?

New Solar Stars For the Willy Village

Sorry all these pictures aren't the best I just couldn't get a good focus But you get the Idea,,,,, :wink:

Starting to get dark here



Best pictures '''
I could get

the stars are toooooo Bright!!!!

That's going to be so cool to look at for real, though!!! Gotta find a moon!

those stars are great.

AWWWWWWWWW - twinkle twinkle!!!

I love them Diane - adds just the right sparkle to the Willy Village at night!

Afgrey it is good to see your own bad self.


Merme

Me too, Cindy Jo Bob Roscoe Faye Pearl.

But I at least, have "Solar Lights" on my Official Shopping List! (They've moved up the line from my Official Dream List)





Merme

Cindy Lou Faye... you are bad to the bone!!!

Cindy, is that Inmate Willy?

I'm saving up my points for the grand prize.

Cindy Faye!! I only just read what you have been blaming me for!!!

I've got to say though, I had thought of that moon, but I wasn't going there!
Should have known you would....but I didn't make you do it!!

Shirley, you should know by now that Cindy Lou Faye Roscoe is completely innocent.

Okay I have an idea that might work........ I have a small solar ball about the size of a softball,,,,, I may rearrange the stars , move them up further and hang the solar light above them or among them, Hmmmmmmm Gotta give that a little more thought, :wink:

I looked online trying to find a moon for the village and didn't have any luck.

Yeah...innocent.....

no I couldn't find any either,,,,, I'm working on the idea About the smaller solar ball above the stars,,, as soon as I finish some more yard work I'll go try to do that, I just came in for a break. I ran out of trash bags,, & don't feel like going to the store,,,,,, and I have 3 piles of cuttings of shrubs and leaves, weeds,, I still need to bag up

I wish I was there helping you!!!

I wish you were too Shirley
