I'm sitting here in my west-facing computer room, and really
enjoying a little trinket I picked up at the Smithsonian
last summer. The Smithsonian site is broken at the moment.
It's like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Kikkerland-Solar%252dPowered-Rainbow-Maker/dp/B000068UG6

NAYY. I'm enjoying the little moving rainbows all over the
room. I suppose I could have put it in the west-facing
window in my sewing room, then this would not be OT. ;-)

Ooooh!!! That's really neat!! I will have to get one for my mom. She has
all kinds of crystals hung in the windows. When I was little she would
spin one of the prisms (by twisting the cord it hung from) so I
could "chase the pretties." lol She will get a huge kick out of that.
Thanks for sharing that Beverly!!

I hope she enjoys it. It's so fun because the little solar
engine constantly turns the crystal and you can see all the
tiny gears move. ;-)

We have collected cut chandelier crystals (many are
antiques) for several years, to put on the Christmas tree.
On sunny days, my entire living room sparkles and glistens
with tiny rainbows. I put them all away after the season,
so they are a special part of the tree each year.

Beware! If you have cats, some of them will chase the reflections on
the floor, walls, make *ick ick* sounds at the ceiling, and possibly
rearrange anything loose in the room.

My older DD's family have a laser pointer they use to
"exercise" their Golden Retriever. It's hysterical watching
her pounce all over the room, trying to catch the little red
dot. ;-)
