Another banner find day at our local Habitat for Humanity
really….some days are just good that way.
Pinecone Ginger wanted a gratuitous head shot…Drama queens in the back yard. sigh.
Now you may laugh
go ahead insert laugh now
But I caught this little orphan in the corner of my eye…
Used to be brass…in it’s heyday…now it kinda looks like mercury glass. kinda
With a sad shade…
But I also found the piece of heavy grasscloth wallpaper for 4 clams.
I’m thinking covering the shade with it…
Maybe?
9 clam lamp….yea or nay?
Also found a gorgeous little wool textile….
a rug that may land at the foot of our bed…or somewhere nifty.
Enjoy your Weekend….go find your local Habitat store
…and support it!

I'm going to my Habitat store today in search of a bookcase, but they never (never!) have stuff as cool as your store!
A wonderful little treasure you found! I'm sure you will dress this little gal in the finest shade. xo
I really need to get to our Habitat store soon!
Maybe today!!
Well...I'll tell you.There are days that nothing inspires...and then there are days where many things do!
Fab finds Linda.
I just checked the Back Porch on your sidebar. My new address is:

Not posting at the old one, these days.
Have a great weekend...we have a b'day party for our Gabi, who is 6! Can't believe it!
!!!!!!!!!!!!OK Where is my Habitat score....I mean store?!?!?!?
That is such a great find Linda!
Love the softened brass... funny how that happened. I'm guessing it's going to be a very versatile piece in your pretty home. Pleasant weekend!
You are BRILLIANT!!! lOVE LOVE! Oh, let me not forget to mention the drama queen...Beeeeeutiful. Very Christmasy. **kisskiss** Deb
I would have grabed it first.
Thats a winner,
yvonne
you are way too good linda...brilliant for sure !!!!
Not bad at all. Are you spray painting too?
The lamp is great. We sell a pair at perch., are you sitting down, for 650. EACH! And I recently saw a pair on eBay for 270. that I nearly bought just bc the prices was so good.
Buy the lamp even if you don't know where you will use it at this very moment.
xo xo
Dayum VV...$650?
I was considering spraying the base black, cause it is in worse shape than the ole' lamp. We'll see.
Thanks for the props!!
noo..... don't spray paint it...it is fabulous the way it is! I think once you jazz up the shade with the grasscloth wp, it will be a keeper for sure!
have a great weekend!! :)
IVY...If I did just the very bottom base....no the rest I would leave.
Working on the shade this am...will post a pic for you!
Great stuff, Linda! I adore that lamp--can't wait to see what you do with it!!
Love going to our Habitat Store..."Restore" is what we call it here...lots in there to restore!
Can't wait to see the finished product.
mmm....perhaps just the bottom base..might look really good...shiny? or matte?..... can't wait to see the shade!
Happy Sunday! :)
SWANKY for sure! Love it's figure and love the shade idea. I have a roll of that grasscloth stuff...never thought about a shade. Hurry...I wanna see it! And the Nate looking rug is a keeper for sure.
You are killing me on the finds...I'm trying to unload some old finds before I go looking for new finds. Very difficult when everyone is talking about current finds. My friend (new to the thrifting thing) found a TO-DIE-FOR nude painting yesterday...$10 bucks. It was so pretty. I was SO envious...it tugged at me like the baby painting does. I've got to say though...our Habitat is nothing to write home about...mostly broken junk.
I must admit I didn't even know they had stores! Thanks for the tip! I totally see the mercury glass!
ooowww....
love the ginger ~~rose~~
