With the California Poppies popping up, it is a sure sign of Spring, even though last Friday morning there was 1/2 inch of snow on the deck. And today, Monday, it is going to hit 80 degrees. We are loving it.
Now is the time to start planning those outside projects that are on this summer's list. I mention this because it seems all too often we are hit with requests for a specific type of vintage lighting fixture (in this case vintage porch lights), and the electrician is coming out next week to install it.
When you know that vintage lighting is what you desire there are two things to remember: the first is patience and planning and the second is, if you find something you like, purchase it on the spot. We have a good track record of finding specific vintage fixtures if given enough time. But the "electrician is coming out next week" is one of the surest ways to end up with dandelions instead of golden California Poppies.
