MN Mom on May 08, 2016Those shades are so pretty! If you set the shade in the dirt of your garden with the opening end up you could set a solar light inside (not on the stake, just the light portion). It would be a colorful accent and charge in the sun during the day and then provide a softened blue light at night.1 marked as helpful Reply

Lynne Krywulycz on May 08, 2016They are beautiful - have you checked their actual value on an antique glass site? The Art Deco period had organic, very colourful light shade designs, Type antique glass art deco light shades into google - there are many sites to look at. Good Luck.Helpful Reply

Lynn Palmatier on May 09, 2016I like the idea of solar lights in the garden, though you will need some kind of stake to either raise the light or keep it from getting toppled.... Have you searched this site for the ideas of others. You could repurpose old candle holders and use the glass on that to create a candle holder or that solar light...Helpful Reply
