Decorating with Lighthouses

If you love lighthouses, like I do, you probably also like to decorate your home with lighthouses. I have a display of lighthouses replicas that I have collected on my visits to lighthouses and a lighthouse lamp. In addition I have framed photos of lighthouses throughout my house.

I work with my lighthouse photos in my Zazzle store Lighthouse Enthusiast and I am very excited about the new partnership that Zazzle has just created with a company called American Mojo . This company has some wonderful products all handmade in the USA by single Moms. The objective of the company is to help moms who are at or near the poverty level and provide them employment and relief from daycare issues that usually hinders their employment.

In Zazzle's first release with American Mojo they are offering some great pillows, placemats,napkins,and kitchen towels. To my way of thinking these items just lend themselves to lighthouse decorating. Here are a few that I have featured in my Zazzle shop.
This decorative kitchen towel features Currituck lighthouse in the OuterBanks of North Carolina.

Decorating with Lighthouses

Lighthouse decor has become very popular.  Some people are fortunate to live by the sea and will decorate their entire house with lighthouses.  Others of us live far from the sea, but want to bring those memories of a coastal vacation home and we might decorate a room or two with some lighthouse decor or perhaps put some lighthouse decorations in our gardens.

I have several lenses written with ideas for lighthouse decor.  Lighthouse Kitchen Decor is one of my most popular articles.  It has a wide variety of items to add to you lighthouse kitchen.  You will find cheerful teapots, lighthouse kitchen towels, lighthouse clocks, salt and pepper shakers, and even a lighthouse sink stop.  Stop by and look at the ideas for decorating your kitchen.

With the popularity of Lighthouse Kitchen Decor, I decided to do a similar lens for baths. Lighthouse Bathroom is full of great ideas to decorate your bath with lighthouses.  You will find some wonderful shower curtains, shower hooks, towels, photos for the wall and many more bath accessories.  I hope you will visit soon.

Nassau Lighthouse

When our cruise ship pulled into to Nassau harbor I was excited to see this wonderful lighthouse. I was able to photograph the lighthouse from various angles and times of day. We could see the lighthouse from the deck of the ship while we were in port.

I have added several products with the Nassau lighthouse image on my Zazzle shop.

To see more of my photos from Nassau check out my lens at Nassau Lighthouse.

Eagle Bluff Lighthouse

The lighthouse at Eagle Bluff was first operated in 1868. It is located in Peninsula Park near Fish Creek, Wisconsin.

For 35 years the lighthouse keeper and his family, which included seven active boys, made sure the light was shining over the bay. To read more and this story and see photographs I took of the lighthouse visit my lens at Eagle Bluff Lighthouse.

Cool Art Deco Lighthouse

Port Washington, Wisconsin has a very cool looking pierhead lighthouse. It is an art deco design that was built in 1935. On a visit to Door County, Wisconsin we stopped for the night in Port Washington and were pleasantly surprised to find they had two lighthouses. Port Washington is a wonderful small town with a nice harbor and lots of beautiful flowers. You can see my photographs and read more about Port Washington at Art Deco Lighthouse

Hello Everyone

I love lighthouses. Since my retirement two years ago I have been busy photographing lighthouses on the various trips we have taken. I have photographed lighthouses in Maine, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida.

This blog will be devoted to talking about lighthouses and showcasing lighthouses photographs. I will start with my own squidoo lenses, but I hope to also have contributions from other people talking about lighthouses they have visited and sharing photographs.

Today I wrote a new lens on the lighthouse in South Haven, Michigan. It includes many of the photographs I took while visiting South Haven. You can view my lens at South Haven Lighthouse .
