Thank you very much for your correction, but in this case I'm note sure if I understand well - I thought "mukashi nagara no" is shushoku and "mukashi nagara ni" is fukushi. I wanted to say: My granny use candles like in old times. That's why I choosed fukushi, because she do it like in old times (fukushi is connected with verb). When I say mukashi nagara no rosoku, doesnť it mean: candles like in old times (shushoku is connected with noun)?
I'm sorry if my question is hard to understand, my English isn't very good :(

Okay, then you would say, "おばあちゃんは昔ながらに電気ではなく蝋燭を使っています."
