Chicago’s temperatures still aren’t cooperating with those of us who want to get outside, but we can get ready for the nice weather to show up anyhow! This past weekend I found great small solar lamps that will work perfectly in my yard. At just $3 each, I picked up six without breaking the bank, and if they work out, it’s easy enough to pick up a few more. Their compact size make them perfect for my awkward outdoor spaces (the two dark stairs leading to my garage door, the step-down at the end of my walkway, etc.), and also dim enough to not call attention away from my patio at evening events. They even come in several finishes to compliment other outdoor accents. Thanks, Target! Now, if it would just warm up enough to enjoy them outside! Do you have a space that could use these too? — Rebecca F.
