Flickr Find: Vintage Chinese Lanterns

A great addition to a patio (or if you're lucky--a terrace), these vintage chinese lanterns add color, texture and warmth to an outdoor setting...

We also think they'd look great indoors as decoration for a party or a playful craft room. Unfortunately, Nina mentions that she picked them up in a thrift store--so tracking down similar lanterns might prove difficult. We did run across these teeny vintage chinese lanterns.

Apartment Therapy readers, do you have a good source for vintage-looking chinese lanterns--let us know in the comments!
