I like indoor fairy lights, but get tired of constantly changing the AAA batteries, so I took a chance and ordered some solar-powered ones from Amazon (even though Jeff Bezos is totally on my shit list). Where else can you search and compare tons of cheap electronic crap from China and have it delivered within 2 days? Amazon stands alone!
And seeing as the price of cheap, electronic crap from China is about to go up, I thought I’d share the link:
The lights come with small stakes for using outdoors, but they also work well in interior windows that get sun. You just have to face the little solar power packs south. They charge during the day and come on automatically after dark. You can set them to steady or flashing/twinkling mode.
It’s one way to ward off the doom and gloom of early darkness. The sun sets here by 4:30pm now…

❤ How pretty.
I've been trying to make myself get the holiday boxes out of the closet, but so far, no. I canceled Amazon Prime a while back, and so far have had an okay time finding what I need elsewhere, but with things like this, it really is the best source. Sigh.

I know. I look for many things on Etsy first now. My husband floated the idea of cancelling Prime, but we can’t seem to cut the cord.

It’s not easy! Things keep coming up that I’m really pulled by, but it’s a great exercise, showing my habits.

Amazon is just too easy and convenient, but I agree with your sentiments, Mary. We have lights in our kitchen and they create a warm ambience. Lovely image!
