Pretty much the same but no .blogspot. Same but BET-TER.
Found this bargain on eBay. I won this lamp for just $31. I was considering a retro wooden floor lamp that I could spray paint a new colour and revamping the shade with some quirky material, however when I saw this lamp for sale from an eBayer just one suburb away, I thought it was worth changing my mind. The only work it needed was a clean. The base was fine, but the shade was really dusty. You can imaging how much dust collects in those folds. I removed the shade and washed it in the shower with some dishwashing liquid. The shade is made of thick plastic so it dried in no time.
A few other goodies, this decanter was from an op-shop down in the Illawarra, just $3. Made in France. I dont think it ever had any booze in it. It had a "Sherry" bling necklace around the lid which I gave back to the op-shop. You never know, maybe some lucky gal called Sherry will visit them soon. It's empty at the moment, but anytime dad wants to "donate" a new liqueur , this is where it will go. Today I found a nice white frame with glass for $4. It needed a clean with some some windex. It didn't quite fit my King Mini print (too big) but this will do for now. I want to pick up a matt-board with a pattern, cut to size so I can finally frame this for good.
Ceramic vase: $2
Original retro pair of juice glasses: $3 each.
Both in mint condition, the vase still has its sticker attached (soon to be removed). Now to raid the neighborhood gardens for some small floral pickings...with permission of course.
