A brief description of the types of products which will enhance the beauty of your home.
Wind Chimes
We really enjoy wind chimes. They bring tranquility to what might be a stressful environment. Wikipedia defines WIND CHIMES this way- Wind chimes are chimes constructed from suspended tubes, rods or other objects and are often made of metal or wood. Wind chimes are usually hung outside of a building or house and are intended to be played by the wind. Sound can be produced when the tubes or rods come in contact with a suspended central clapper, in the form of a ball or horizontal disk, or each other.
These are the different parts of a windchime -
- Length - Is measured from the top of the Ring hook to the bottom of the Windsail.
- The Ringhook is the metal ring at the very top of the windchime which holds the cords.
- The Cords are usually made from multi-ply synthetic material that hold the tubes.
- The Platform or plate is normally made from round wood or acrylic material and separates the cord and the tubes.
- The tubes can be made of metal such as aluminum, steel, brass, copper; glass; or, bamboo. Each type of material as well as its length and thickness produce the delightful sounds of the Wind Chime. The hard metals produce a defining sharper sound where as the softer woods produce a more mellow, hollower sound. The glass and smaller/thinner metal tubes produce a tingling sound.
- The striker or clapper is the ornament that hangs down from the center of the chime and strikes the tubes.
- And finally, the wind sail is the design that hanges down below the tubes and catches the wind causing the clapper to strike the tubes.

Wikipedia defines Dream Catcher as a handmade object based upon a willow hoop, on which is woven a loose net or web. The dreamcatcher is then decorated with personal and sacred items such as feathers and beads.

Candles
Candles have cast a light on man's progress for centuries. However, there is very little known about the origin of candles. Although it is often written that the first candleswere developed by the Ancient Egyptians who used rushlights, or torches, made by soaking the pithy core of reeds in molten tallow, the rushlights had no wick like a candle.
