Non Christmas fairy lights/lighting?

[SunKeepsShining]

Fuck it, when the fairy lights and tree comes down I need some pretty non Christmas fairy lights in my life. Anyone got any good battery operated or mains heat round nice lights? To hang on a wall/stairs/shelves/vase anything?

A site called Cable and Cotton was recommended on another thread I saw.

Quite a few people wanting to cheer themselves up with lights.

Thanks, I was trying to remember that name from years ago! Will take a look.
If you know any other threads to check out please let me know.

Check out lights4fun - I ordered some lovely wooden star garland lights from there and I’ve kept them up!

Fairy lights, with a less, is more approach can be so lovely.

Etsy has some lovely items.

I would like to recommend a seller I got some beautiful lights from on Etsy called FlowerWithMe. This is a sample of their work

There isn't much on their page at the moment but I believe they do custom work.

Maybe I just need to reuse the Christmas ones.
Although those cable and cotton ones look lovely, need to justify them. Will have a look through Etsy thanks

I got some pretty star lights from Amazon for the front porch. The timer is set for 6 hours on,18 off; and they're still going 3 weeks after hanging them. I'm going to leave them up until the batteries run down, just to see how long they'll last.

[SunKeepsShining]

Oo @sueelleker have you got a link? We’ve got some battery operated on the same times and they are properly genius

Etsy has some lovely ones, mine are from byDaisies. Mine have a USB cable.

I have cable and cotton ones and some glass ones from not on the high street

[SunKeepsShining]

@QueenPawPaws have you got a link for the not on the high street ones? My search there just comes up with upturned bell jars of fairy lights!

[Ltdannygreen]

Our main ones for the front of the house had a few bits not working, my mum didn’t want to get rid of them so has doubled them up around the back because she loves them 😂

We've taken down the much loved tacky coloured Christmas fairy lights and ran a very large set of warm while ones instead. They were given to me and there's more of them than I bargained for so they've gone wound the room 3 times. DS loves them and they're a cosier light than the big light. They possibly don't look that good but who is visiting me anyway?

[QueenPawPaws]

@SunKeepsShining they don't have them now - I just logged in to check and it turns out I've had them 7 years!!
They were by primrose and plum and called "glass lantern fairy lights"

What a bout a twig tree for the dining area or hallway. They look so pretty lit up and great for all year around.

[SunKeepsShining]

@QueenPawPaws they are lovely!
I think I’m going to have to get some cable and cotton ones if can decide what colours I want.
@Mylittlesandwich sounds perfect! And yup who’s going to be coming into see you.

[SunKeepsShining]

@StickTheKettleOnAlice that’s a good shout, we did nearly buy a big decorative branch once, would be nice with lights,

[mammmamia]

I just got some Himalayan salt lights off Amazon - they looks really nice, that might fit the bill of what you’re looking for.
