On the heels of our post about Staging a Summer Party with Modest Means<\/a>, frequent contributor\u00a0Susan Dworski<\/a> sent this email about\u00a0Shoji Solar Lanterns<\/a>, an essential, inexpensive, mood-enhancing element that are, in her words “Pretty damned lunar at night”<\/em>:<\/p>\n Ironically, I just replaced my tattered red Shoji solars yesterday with the familiar bluebird ones.<\/em><\/p>\n They are marvelous! I screwed the plastic stands (intended for tabletop use) on the bottom to stabilize them better in the wind. They add a certain Japanese gravitas.<\/em><\/p>\n They hang from iron shepherd’s crooks so I can distribute them among\u00a0the sword ferns and not be dependent on a wire or\u00a0<\/em>tree branch for positioning.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
