Lovely site DJ. I can see them looking great in your farmhouse. Does your farm have a name? If not I can see Pumpkin Farm being top of the list! LOL

Wow! Wish I had a place like that near me. This was on your site. I have two stone benches like this in my garden.
Mine have two daisies cut in the top on one end.

Hya double duh aka Lisa. 
I kept forgetting (what a surprise) to post a site I like. I am a bit of a solar light freak. My garden is lit up year round. This is one of the sites I order from.

Ooooh, colorful solars... I love this stuff! I think it's so funny that toward the bottom of their site they say, "OVER 75% OF THE SOLAR LIGHTS WE OFFER ARE NOT AVAILABLE FROM ANY OTHER SUPPLIER OR RETAILER." As I was browsing that first page I was thinking about how when I find something really cool, it's never available in the US. LOL! I think I might have actually run across this site one day when I was trying to find a solar light to use inside the chicken coop. HAHAHA!!! I love the amber lights, so pretty, and the funky light shapes. ..... OOOHH, cool! Did you see the Solar 'Diamond' Lantern? Very mod! .... Now that I see the solar roof vents and fans, I'm just positive that I've been here before. I bet that was what I was actually looking for at the time. ..... Those floating solar pond lights are exactly what I need. I think my enchanted forest is close to the pond. Hmmmm!!! ..... Gosh, Moira, how many solar lights do you think you have? I'd be addicted to that store! ..... Oh, yeah, and the solar wall lights. I remember looking at those for the outside of the coop. LOL!
What a cute touch!! Didn't you post a picture of one of them somewhere, with the daisies showing? That sounds sort of familiar now... uh-oh... I could be losing my crown here! You are so lucky to have two benches like that. It's very pretty. I had a wooden park bench with eagles for the legs (one on each end) and an American flag as the backrest. My parents gave it to us for an anniversary gift one year, but my husband ran over it with the tractor. He rarely uses the tractor, as you might imagine. We can't straighten out one of the legs... I thought maybe running over it with the tractor again might fix it, but I'm afraid it might break it instead. LOL.

Lovely isn't it. Great for my garden as and when they get them in again. I am saving up for some uplighters at the moment to light up individual trees/shrubs. They have improved a lot in recent years. Before the light was pathetic and didn't last without really strong sunshine. Now they keep glowing. Even on a dull day they build up enough power to shine at night. Shame I can't take a decent pic on my camera of them. I have tried but it is either completely black or there are a few blurry spots in the distance.
Haha! That would be the 'goldfish' affect kicking in me thinks. I have surfed so many sites that they all look familiar now.
I have one floating solar light in my pond. (very little pond) A white one. At least I think it was white could be yellow or red I forgot to put it in this year! Haha! You just reminded me...hang on a minute...Yep its red. I just fished (no pun intended) it out from under my bed where I left it last year. Not sure if I got it on this site or not. Apart from that I have a blue diode string in my gazebo and over my arch. White diodes in my hedge and along one fence. Three short post lights in my alpine garden and three long posts in the border around my pond. I also have a solar pond pump that has a solar panel. It starts up the minute the sun shines. Oh, and we also have three strings of solar lights that we take with us in the VW to light up the inside of the awning. Those are blue and white again.
If you want an enchanted forest then the strings would work well as you can put the charging panel somewhere away from the tree to power up and have the lights strung through the tree. When you save up some more pennies you could add an uplighter at the bottom of the tree. This would give you more colour and the fairy affect that I seem to remember you wanting.

It is too bad you can't capture your lights on camera. It sounds so lovely and you have so many. You definitely are a solar collector. (LOL, now how's that for a pun?! Hahaha!!!)

Since you have not felt worthy of the rank of "duh", I gave this issue some thought and decided that in honor of the fact that you have attempted to rescue plants from the trash, you can henceforth be known as the "duhmpster" fish. LOL.

Good web-site Moira. I was thinking the same thing as DJ about finding sites & then seeing where they are not sold in the U.S. ...but still fun to look! 
What a lovely new name! I'm not sure about the new insignia though, I love it, but am afraid I will forget it! hehehe
Oooh, Mary, you have an awesome insignia.... I'd hate to have to sign off with that one every time though

Duhmster!!! That just sounds SO wrong LOL! The mental image that is in my head is so not good....I can go with the rescuing a plant from the trash can though Lisa, makes perfect sense to me....
and poor Mary HAHAHA!!!I doubt we will see her again. Her insignia looks like some kind of advanced maths problem.HAHA! Far too complicated for a lowly goldfish! DJ your mind certainly works in mysterious ways LOL!
[ OoGBoO ] I added the arrow so I don't forget which way to go to see my flora

I think I finally figured out what you were really picturing. HAHAHA!!! Oh, my eyes are watering!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!
HAHAHAHA!!!! I actually found an ASCII castle online and then adapted it so that it would hold its shape... that's why all the grass and clouds are in there... and I used fishbowl brackets instead of |pikes| for the walls. And the clipart star... well, she can look at that and make a wish for a simpler insignia. HAHAHA!!!
HAHA!! SO FUNNY!!!
Glad you like it. Forget what? LOL!

DJ, what a fun place to shop! My chimnea is getting too many cracks in it so this will do nicely
and this is really striking, you can create your own sunset in a way
OK, I'll be back later to 'shop' the other links posted
DJ, it is uncanny, how did you know that I have a castle in my bowl????
Moira... I'm Duhmester so I can figure out that advanced math castle thingy!

Hahaha!!! Do you have a Parthenon to go with it? Lol. At the very least, I think you will need half a dozen columns and some grape vines. That thing just looks so Ancient Greece to me.
That flame wall is very interesting. With all the rocks I have, I should make something like that. I have an enormous sawmill blade that I could maybe polish and use for the reflector.
Do you really? Hahahaha!!!
Wow, Mary really is magical... she photocaptured an entire castle! LOL. I think you're too smart to be Duhmester. We're going to have to demote you to Duhchess for a while and banish you to your highest castle turret. Hahaha!!
