  8. Love these twinkling lights...so pretty! Wow, do they ever add some serious magic to a space (in a fairytale kinda way!)

    Hubs and I have been dreaming about adding some "twinkle" to our living room (or bedroom) for a while now but just haven't found the perfect lights or perfect way to hang them quite yet...this round up will sure get the "decor" juices flowing!

  10. I love the old style twinkly lights. The big fat bulbs are so pretty. Perfect for summer evening weddings when the sun goes down and you still need light for dancing.

  11. When I move back to NYC, do you think someone would let me have a rooftop garden/deck area where I could keep twinkle lights up year round and host lots of dinner parties?

  27. I love the look of Christmas lights! They're so warm and intimate, and they add such a wonderful glow to any room and party. I love the tent idea, and can't wait to see my nieces and go "camping" with them in the living room soon.

    Cheers!

  28. These are GORGEOUS! I have that first photo saved on my computer and I've been looking for the source for ages. I'll have to go see what else is on that site.
    I always love having Christmas lights up for this exact reason. Maybe I'll have to get put some up for the summer, just for fun.

  36. I just emailed this link to my husband. Ever since I've known him he's had twinkle lights strung up in his room; we've had so many great conversations to the soft glow. He didn't do it for mood lighting, but it sure worked!

    The 7th photo in your roundup is actually a photograph I shot for my blog that AT picked up (http://www.thehaystackneedleonline.com/2009/05/globe-string-lights.html). If you could credit me, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!!
