I’ve always been fascinated by light! I love it’s ability to transform any boring space into something magical. I’m really digging the recent emphasis on solar-powered lights.

As you know, whenever I’m able, I love promoting products that are available to the average southwestern ontarian. So for you folks, here’s my selection of the coolest of the cool! (Good for the environment and affordable, too!)

SOLIG Solar-operated lighting (IKEA-$9.99/each), Solar LED String Globe Lights, 9-Pc (Canadian Tire – $19.99), Solar Gazing Ball Garden Stake (Canadian Tire - $16.99)

I just had to add to this post. I found another really cool solar light. Now, this cool little bird house isn’t local, but it’s still worth the post.
