With our house, there are globe vanity lights over the bathroom sinks. Most are standard clear.

But one was a swirley blue with a little white, quite lovely. Anyone have any idea of what it’s called?

It never even occurred to me to wonder this until you bring it up – but now that you did, I tried it.

I can’t even say it slowly once.
