If you want to jazz up your summer, may I suggest a candlelit hurricane lantern from notNeutral? With a baked-on finish in a variety of spicy summer colors, they’re a deal at just $28 for a set of two. (Nice gift for a summer party, perhaps.) I got mine at Click!, but you can find them online, too: choose from the Season Hurricanes or the Triton — I chose the latter because I dig how the faces in the pattern light up and throw shadows. We have a persimmon hurricane lighting up our mantel and a blue one on our deck. One unhappy note, however: our blue hurricane still looks nice, but three weeks of weather that alternated between chilly rain and blazing sun, the finish is now cloudy rather than shiny. I’d advise that you use this one in a sheltered spot. — Mary T.
