Christmas in October

During a quick run into a Goodwill thrift shop this week, there happened to be a very pretty painting.

It was a Christmas scene that would look nice in the bathroom gallery at holiday time.

On the back of it there was a battery box. 

"Hmmmm,"   I thought. "Maybe this lights up somehow."

The painting was purchased for the grand ol' price of $1.99.

Once home, batteries were installed but nothing lit up until a small on/off switch was detected along the painting's rim.

Viola!  It lit up and was absolutely charming.

Talk about Christmas in October, this was it!

In just a couple of months, it will be part of the holiday gallery.
