Wishing you a magical 2010!



Whoah, these are just too cool. Found on etsy today, these Handmade Magic Lanterns are fitted with antique 35mm glass slides. The slides date as far back as the late 1800's, the flickering candlelight gives the photos a ghostlike shimmer. Magic! Wishing you all a magical 2010!

These are extremely cool. I love old picture slides. It's very creative to take these and make old looking lanterns out of them!
