Not a lighthouse, but you gotta go, you gotta go!

Re: Lighthouses. We have a few.

Those are lovely, Fruitcake, especially the 'library' collection. Is the painting a Thomas Kinkade?

Re: Lighthouses. We have a few.

The battery operated lighthouse has a small TK picture on it, but as far as I know, none of the other images are his.
We do have some other TK prints as well as a TK "Tiffany style" lamp.
I actually prefer Terry Redlin to Thomas Kinkade, but my Lovely Cousin's preference is the opposite, so of course it must prevail.

Those are nice, Fruitcake.
I used to have one with sand in it, it came from The Isle Of Wight. I think it got broken when we moved.

Re: Lighthouses. We have a few.

Yea my careers master all thoes years ago suggested I should be a light house keeper

Re: Lighthouses. We have a few.

Do you mean a bit of dusting and sweeping, as in, doing a little light house-keeping?

This joke was brought to you by the late, great, Victoria Wood.

Re: Lighthouses. We have a few.

My Lovely Cousin has a glass Lion filled with layers of different coloured sands from the Isle of Wight.

I used to have a small lighthouse made from Cornish soapstone, bought surprisingly enough in Cornwall. Sadly it was lost when my parents moved home, along with my Blue Peter Badge and Swindon Locomotive Shed Plate.

Re: Lighthouses. We have a few.

Love the lighthouses Fruitcake.
Got only a couple in my back garden they are solar powered and last summer where lighting well .
Both have been taken into the conservatory with the rest of the lights, out of the way of the winter dampness.

Re: Lighthouses. We have a few.

They are lovely FC why do you love lighthouses so much do you live near the sea ?
