A Christmas light bowl


I borrowed this idea from something I saw in a magazine.  The difference is that the magazine used a basket.

I purchased a large bowl made by Gail Pittman, a Mississippi pottery artist.  I have the bowl filled with ornaments, some vintage and some newer.  Underneath the ornaments is one of those large white light balls.  When the light ball is lit, the ornaments reflect the light.  The light bowl provides a lovely Christmas glow.

I prefer to use ornaments which are thin so that the light can shine through them rather than reflect off them.  The vintage ornaments that I've used are perfect for that because much of the outer layer has worn off and the ornaments have become transparent.
