Lamp Turned Candle Holder

Last year after Christmas I ran
across a really pretty lamp
at Fred's. I walked away
a couple of times but I
kept going back. I had
plans for that lamp.

The socket part where you
put the bulb was broken so
it was marked down.



 Originally $24.99 and I
got it for $5.00. My friend
Gail and My Repurposed Life
http://www.myrepurposedlife.net/
would be proud of my $5.00 buy!

Now according to the price
tag I would have paid even
more then $24.99 for it some
where else.



I cut the cord!!
And decided I was not going
to try and fix the socket
instead I had a plan to make
it a beautiful candleholder
with my brother Ray's house
in mind.

But I had to look for a whole year
for the right globe to attach to it.
Last weekend I visited the
Rehab Store and found what
I thought would work great.



And here is the lamp.



Now it really glows.


Finished product.


Love the detail.
Hope my brother and sis in law
like it.

Just ignore the dust on it!


Thanks for stopping in,

Oh my word. That is AMAZING!!! Perfect pairing, and I love how you take something that others would throw away and turn it into something beautiful and useful. Kind of like God does with us....

The Rest of Today

After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after h...

Swollen Hand and Leipers Fork

Wasp sting update~ I made an apt to go  to Fast Pace on Sunday, then canceled.  I wanted to give it one  more day. I did ice  off and on all day and  did Benadryl cream, Sunday night, swelling  is going down. This was Sunday  morning. This in is this  morning. Never been so happy to  see my ugly veins before! YAY L eipers Fork, TN. Cool little place about 30 mins from the house. I have been here, years ago but the other day, I wanted to get out, so I picked  Leiper's Fork.  Of course, since I love old  cars I had to stop and take pics of this one. Then off I went,  camera around my neck and ready for pics. This is one of the local  gallery.  Isn't that yellow door cute? Cool door with all the  details on it. I also love the old door knobs on these old doors. I thought this would  stand out in a pic as B&W. Again, the detail, down to  the very knob itself. This is a store in the mist of about ei...
