One of our favorite new items introduced this spring was the Caravan Hanging Lantern and Hook.

This Moroccan-inspired piece adds a bit of drama hanging on either side of your door and looks beautiful filled with flowers as a hanging mini-chandelier. The cutouts and versatile brown color add that special allure to any outdoor event. We love that the lantern comes with a great hook for hanging, but you don’t just have to use it with the lantern. It can also be used for hanging small planters. Let us know how you would throw your own Arabian Nights party by leaving us an idea in comments, and we’ll enter you to win a set of your own.

To see if you’ve won, check out our Facebook Page — we’ll announce the winner there tomorrow. Remember to share the love and let your friends know about the giveaway! We’ll give you all a new chance to win every week. And if you’re not the contest sort, you can always order the apron from a Willow House Design Consultant!

I would hang this on my back patio to create more ambiance. I love to spend evenings outside with a glass of wine & this would add the perfect touch with a candle. I would get 2 so I could hang a matched pair on my patio. I have also thought about using these to hang on the front of my house, flanking my garage door, with either candles or flowers & greenery at Christmas. Love these!

Decorating is in the details and this is a detail. Good decor is not measured by how much, how expensive, what relative it belonged to or if it's the right color. Good decor is a reflection of the owners personality and incorporates many aspects. And sometimes, you just need a little something to make it pop - this is it - a little pop for that little space that needs 'something'. Love it.

To throw an arabian nights party, I would HAVE to have it outside by candle light! I would use all of my great candle holders from Willow to set the mood... Then some Willow house sangria mix... Just because...

I would Place a battery switch tealight in it for a soft warm nightlight that will be safe..Holidays, Place treats or candies surrounded by candlelight.Hang an ivey from the end base to extend it's lengh even more for an eye catching Treat!!

It needs to hang on my covered back porch.. I am just at the start of decorating... and I don't mean RE-decorating... I just got rid of the grills and got the hubby's lawnmower to the other end! So now my end is ready to be beautified!

I would use this either in the powder room as a lovely welcoming light for guests, or over a garden tub for a relaxing soak. With a scented candle, it would appeal to at least three senses in such a welcoming way!

Love this so much I would want more than two!!! I love to root my plants and start new ones. I would hang these to in my sun room and put cuttings from my spider plant in them. The green and off white plant cuttings will contrast so nice with the wrought iron of the holder and hook.

I have loved this piece for a while but have yet to snatch it up. I have an antique Moroccan mirror and needs to be flanked by a set of these gorgeous hanging sconces. In the evening it will add a gorgeous glow to the yellow wall that it would hang on. I'd love to have this piece and then I will add another to have a beautiful set!

I would hang this outside and set the mood for my Arabian nights party with lots of candles and some rugs placed around the deck with lots of pillows to sit on. Ok thats for my arabian nights party but I would love to hang it in my newly painted (not yet finished decorated) family room!

I would love to have this Caravan Hanging Lantern and Hook to hang near a sunny window for a place to root plants in the spring and summer. What a beautiful way to teach children who visit just one of the ways plants reproduce.

As much as I would LOVE to hang these outside, my homeowners association is really strict... so they would have to be inside. Which is perfect because they would be the most fabulous piece to center the theme for redoing my master bedroom! Our master bedroom is so plain... it would be a great surprise for my husband to give our room a romantic makeover!

I would send this to my mom. Our relationship is strained at times, but we both share a love of beautiful things. She has been redecorating her home & I thing this would look great by her front door or even as a pair flanking the mirror above her mantle.

This hook and lantern would be a beautiful addition to the entrance of an Arabian Nights dinner party. I would hang them on both sides of my open front door (with candles burning) and have incense burning and Middle Eastern music playing as my guests arrive!

This would be a beautiful addition to any outdoor party. YOU could hang several of them with citronella candles. They would also be beautiful with small flowers or ivy hanging on the back deck or screened in porch.

Perfect to hang in the kids bathroom. I would put a timed candle in it with some blue sea glass. That candle could come on just as they went to sleep and guide them to the bathroom if they got up in the night! INSTEAD of coming to OUR room to wake me up and say "I have to go to the bathroom"...which by the way is right next to their rooms! Hee Hee!!

I have been eyeing these for my back porch for some time. We have a comfy, screened in back porch that over looks our pool. My friends and I love to sip Willow House Sangria there while we watch the kids swim. Four or five of these lanterns hung around the porch would get a ton of "oohs," and "ahhs," from my friends!

The lantern is the perfect accessory for an Arabian Nights party. To set the stage use vibrant orange, red, gold and deep purple fabrics to drape from the walls and ceiling and create a tent or intimate space. Set the mood by use the Caravan Hanging Lanterns for lighting around the space. Scatter rugs throughout the space and set out coffee tables around the room, drape with vibrant color organza add the Parisian Luminaries with contrasting color candles as centerpieces. These will create a romantic glow. Use Vibrant color cushions and pillows around the coffee tables for guest to sit on. Add to the mood with incense and oil lamps.

Even though it's blazing hot outside I can totally picture this over my favorite chair and ottoman where I can curl up with a blanket and a good book and bask in the warm light from a yummy pumpkin spice candle ... yep sounds like a perfect autumn day!
