The flattering glo of the flame of an oil lamp

Did you know that Sophia Lauren always requests to eat by either candlelight or oil lamp light. She is smart because she knows the soft light is the most flattering for a women's face.The light it self is so relaxing.... It softens the look of wrinkles and gives you a youthful glow.............. A little bit of vino also does the same thing..But that is a whole different Blog.........Here is a little background about oil lamps.....................Electricity is a wonderful convenience.But people lived with out it since God created the earth.Until Thomas Edison invented the electric bulb in 1879. Before then oil lamps were the main source of light at night and dark places.People had plenty of light since there was an abundance of oil. My suggestion to you is try eating dinner or sitting out on your back porch at night this summer with an oi lamp on. The hurricane glass will protect the flame from being blown out by a breeze . Antique oil lamps are the best in my opinion.They are so well made and usually just need a new wick if anything.Also they are much more beautiful to look at than the new cheap ,Chinese version of oil lamps . So ladies give it go . I have attached a pic of part of a collection of oil lamps that I have. I use them all and I am always looking for unusual ones I can add to my collection. I have sold and given away a number over the years and everyone who has received and used theirs has loved it ..............
