apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I think these are similar, if not the same:

I have lights from this store in Paris too! They were one of the few things that I carried with me back to the US. The store was delightful. I got the little balls in white, lime green, yellow and red, and I strung them on a normal white strand of Christmas lights. I actually bunched mine up inside an oversized cylindar vase, and use it as a lamp in my office. I'm so excited to see this post!

There is a whole store of these lights on Fillmore in SF. I don't remember the name of it, but I think one strand is about $20.

There is also a "global exchange" store on 24th that has them sometimes - they are strung outside of the shop permanently. :)

i also bought these in Paris recently... love them in my daughter's room!

Yay for the lights! Mine came squashed in half since I was traveling, and I had to poke them into ball shapes with a chopstick.

I'm confused, with the French ones do you just ball the balls and use them on your own set of lights? Or, did you buy the whole set? Thanks.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

When in Paris two years ago, I went into this shop and absolutely loved it.

I remembered it recently and have been trying to remember or research the name of the shop so I could place an order for lights for my new flat.

I have just bought two sets this morning. Thanks so much!

The string of lights that comes with the balls is for European outlets, so you could either get an adaptor or use lights from the US. The string it comes with is unique, though, because it's actually a connected circle of lights instead of a straight line.
