Home Touches // Cable and Cotton in Marshmallow

Us bloggers seem to love our twinkling lights, right? I sure do with my latest addition being from Cable & Cotton - the company behind a unique take on fairy lights as well as bigger lamp shades suitable for table or ceiling being added. Whether you're hosting a summer party, a cosy cold...October night or wanting soothing night lights for your child, the handcrafted, illuminated balls sure are beautiful. Cable and Cotton lights arrive arranged neatly in the box, needing you to attach the balls over each individual bulb. Instructions are provided, it takes less than 5 minutes for the 20 string.

Deciding on which of the various Cable and Cotton pre-made sets to go for proved to be harder than I originally thought, they're all so pretty and perfectly paired!? Eventually I settled on Marshmallow, which seems to be their most popular via reviews online. As someone who loves having various fairy lights around the room, I already have sets on my dressing table and shelving unit which are much smaller and daintier than Cable & Cotton. I've actually chosen to have them around my TV & I love having them there on evenings where I want to snuggle up in bed with various box sets (Gilmore Girls, Devious Maids or Scandal) to hand. The harsh bright light coming from the TV isn't anymore, nor do I need any full bedroom lights on. Since I've had my C&C lights for quite a while now I can shout and rave about their quality, I've not had a single bulb blow out on me, nor have any of the balls broken - in fact putting them together was a breeze with very few caving in and needing the light string to be pulled to reshape them.

I'd love to hear if anyone else has a set of C&C lights? With Christmas coming I think the option to create your own shade mix is perfect, we'll certainly be looking into creating some for around the house. Lucy x
