I am a big fan of candle light, and have candles light almost every night in my home and in summer I love to have them outside too if we're out in the garden late - and these lanterns are perfect!

Available from Ikea for only £2.99 they are a bargain! They come in three colours, white, black and silver - my personal favourite are the white ones as I think they are the most pretty looking.

The lantern stands around 21cm high so they are a good size, and have a handle on the top so can be hung up in the house or garden and carried easily without burning your fingers (aslong as you dont leave the handle sticking directly up above the lantern - heat rises and it will get hot!).

There are stars cut into the lantern and on the glass windows so when a candle is lit inside it throws lovely star shapes around the room. One of the glass doors opens with a little latch so you can put your candle in, and on the inside there is a little tray for you to put your candle inside so it wont move around when you move the lantern.

I have several of these hung in my garden and also a couple in my house and they look lovely when lit, especially outside where they create a nice atmosphere and light. At £2.99 they really are a bargain and look every bit as pretty as more expensive ones you can purchase from other home stores.

Overall if your looking for a nice vintage looking lantern to hand in your house or your garden then I would definitely recommend getting one of thses - they're perfect! My only criticism is that I wish they came in more colours!
