Pottery Barn: Crow String Lights
Usually I feature a few items at a time from Pottery Barn or other stores that carry Halloween treats. However, these lights deserve their own post because I love them so very much.
I actually think they work better without the “Halloween” ones beneath.
Now to battle the decision of spending $30 on a few little lights…on the wish list they go…

I can’t believe how expensive lights have gotten! They are pretty bad ass tho.

I know! I immediately started wondering if I could make them.

. HOWEVER, Woman B claimed she had never said anything to A about my wife spreading the rumors and that she was simply concerned about her. She was sorry, apologized, but understood if my wife didn’t trust her as a friend. My wife was hurt, but choose to forgive woman B and move on and attempt to repair things with woman A.The next morning, woman B went to A and told her what my wife had done to her. Woman A was concerned about the accuracy of the information she was getting from B. Woman A asked her again if she was sure that what she had said at the party was true, including the party about my wife telling many different people and maliciously attempting to start the rumors. B said this was all true again, and that my wife was really upset with A and wanted to bring her down with what she said.A week later, my wife tried to talk to woman A to apologize for what was said. Woman A would not even look at my wife. She said she was done with her as a friend. She explained that woman B had come back to her to tell her she had been talking about her AGAIN, and she reiterated about the fact she had been spreading the rumors maliciously and my wife wanted to hurt woman A. None of this was true. Woman A called my wife a slew of fowl language in front of me, in front of dozens of her close friends and in front of many of my wife’s friends. She stated that she was lying because woman B had said these things to her twice, and that she wouldn’t lie.My wife is woman A’s boss. Woman A is letting this effect her work. Woman A has cut off all communication with my wife outside of work. Woman B is now completely avoiding my wife entirely as well as woman B’s husband, who is a close friend of mine.My wife forgave them both for what happened. Several weeks has passed. I have a hard time forgiving these people and wanted them to ever be back at our home. They were both very good friends of my wife’s and now she feels alone and isolated because her two best friends destroyed their friendship. I even lost a close friend. The collateral damage goes very deep, since these were mutual friends of almost everyone we know.My wife wants me to move on, but I have such a hard time with that. My wife was trying to do the biblically accurate thing to hold a fellow sister in christ accountable and her other sister in christ; who was not a new christian, but a strong one, threw it in her face. She broke her trust not once, but twice.I just think she doesn’t need to be friends with these people if this is how they treat their relationships. I don’t feel comfortable having them around my home if this is what they choose to do.What do you think?

They sold out last year and people started listing them on ebay for crazy prices. Hard to say if they over ordered and will put them on sale this year. A friend bought them and she loves them. They have been on my list too. Williams Sonoma sold out of the bat towels and I really regret not buying set.

I’m slowly getting convinced as I read the comments!

Instead of Halloween, I think the lights below should say “Never More”!

Absolutely. They could probably make money with a Nevermore companion set.

I bought a strand last year and they are very nice. The construction is pretty strong for a contemporary product. They are rather heavy so we have to screw them in place on the mantel as opposed to using thumbtacks. I hope you can find a set because they are lovely.

Good to know they are sturdy!

Well, 30 bucks is a lot of money for some lights decoration … on the other hand: it’s SO wonderful … I’d spend the money and enjoy! I would be annoyed if I bought some lights only because it’s a bit cheaper but pleases me not half the way, those crow-string-lights do.
