Actually the friend's son was throwing them out but let's not get all factual. Oh Chris...thanks for calling...let me think about that for a nano-second...yes please!
There are two with five lights and one with three...
They're quite dirty, but nothing that a bit of soapy water won't fix.
And Chris has even offered to help with that...the chandelier fairy has been promoted to fairy godmother!! Like I said...I have the best friends.
All I had to do was buy three good bottles of wine...one for each chandelier...doesn't get much better than that does it? Can you see some left over pink feathers from the frou-frou juju lying around on the table...sorry about that...
And sorry about the poor quality photos but I couldn't wait for daylight to take some snaps...I was so excited. So no styling in evidence here bloggy peeps.
They will be going in my living room...replacing lights like these...and I'm ever so glad about that!
Now, where's the phone number for the electrician?
1st and last images from here; others by me taken in a most excited state (i.e. they're not very good!)
Love when that happens!! Can't wait to see how they look in the living room!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kerry, I can completely understand and I would be just the same. I would be snapping photos and posting them as well. What a great friend and what a fantastic haul!!!! Get them washed, get them up, get them photographed and show us. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOoh, what a lovely friend you have - would Chris like another one? How great are these chandies, and I can't wait to see them in all their glory. Nice score my sweet! K xx
ReplyDeleteoh, you lucky girl!! I need friends like this! ;-D

ReplyDeleteWow, fantastic! Good things come to good people..Rachaelxx
ReplyDeleteWow the chandelier fairy really did you a nice turn - I think you must have been very good recently to get, not just one, but 3 chandeliers. Lucky duck!
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous!!! I love chandeliers and yes, they'll be a little step up from the round paper numbers which I also have featured in my hallway (except mine are covered in years of cobwebs).
ReplyDeleteHow cool was that phone call? What a lovely friend! Your new chandies are the same as the ones we bought at an Antique store in the Blue Mountains before we moved to the country! I have one of them in my 'new' bedroom:) ENJOY!!! ~ Tina xx
ReplyDeleteWOW!! So jealous Kerry that's amazing, how sweet is your friend! Does your fairy godmother need more fairy godchildren? as this fairy godchild is happy to drive from sydney to canberra if she finds any more chandies in need of a good home ;) hehehehe.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day Kerry & can't wait to see them up.

Lucky girl I can see you sparkle :)
ReplyDeleteYou, my dear, are one of the luckiest women I know. I am very, very jealous!
ReplyDeleteThere is something about Chandeliers isn't there. They say 'here lives a woman with style' well done.
ReplyDeleteI've just turned green with envy....lucky duck!!
ReplyDeleteI am seriously jealous of you! You are so lucky to have such a great friend!
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE a chandelier fairy!! Ahhh, to replace the chandeliers in our entryway and dining room would be divine, and to add one in our breakfast nook would be the icing on the cake! Looks like your friend gave you beautiful ones, too - so lucky. :)
