I would love to put lanterns on my balcony (we just moved in to an apartment that has one!) but I have a problem: I am TERRIFIED of moths, and in dry CO, we get tons in the summer. Anyone have any suggestions for keeping them away while still having light outside? I would appreciate anything.

i love the first ones... cute and affordable. and i've never heard of that store before, so it looks like i'll be making a trip this weekend :)

I want a large moroccan style lantern above my outdoor dining setting, I wouldn't light it often but I just think since I have a 100 year old dining setting outside and it's rather delicate and pretty looking it would go well...

Staar84 -- you can find citronella candles or oil lamps (which repel many flying bugs) to fit just about any of these lanterns. You ought to be able to find them easily: hardware store, drugstore, Target, maybe even your grocery. If that doesn't do the trick (and if your apartment building allows it), you could put up matchstick blinds or a curtain of gauze/mesh/mosquito netting to keep them out.

And I'm with you. Moths = ick, ICK.

Oh hey, I have that *exact* little Casablanca lantern in white...but I got mine from PaperSource. Where, apparently, I paid twice as much as Z Gallerie [loooove] charges. Sigh.

oh and some of the z gallery stores are closing and i heard the sales are really good. i kinda wish mine was closing so i could get some good deals :( but i do like having a z gallery store. world market has great lanterns too...
