A blue and white chinoiserie lantern is one of my favorite things. I also love lights, lamps, lanterns, even candles basically anything that gives light and is beautiful.

When I think about light, I think about its many meanings. Yes, there is physical light from the sun, the moon, the chandelier, the candle, but the deeper meaning of light is so special.
