thrifty things

yesterday, i took down the christmas tree. yeah. anyway, i am such a light craver in the winter, and i really missed having the glow of the tree (i keep it on 24/7 during the holidays)...

so, i was thinking. wouldn't it be nice to have ONE MORE LAMP to keep me going until actual sunshine shows up?

luckily, i had one in mind that i spotted a few weeks ago at an antique shop. i was skeptical about the shape, but man, it fits perfectly into the empty dark space. light is good!



naturally, i have been trinket finding along the way. lots of good stuff.


i have a "collection" of two turquoise ashtrays. obviously, no ash will go in there. this one from the 50s is very, very cute.


graphic bread pans. right now, they are holding my seeds i saved from the fall. possibly, i will bake with them, but for now they are office storage units :)


score! 25 cents each for two cool metallic glasses from the 50s. perfect for colored pencils.


gosh, i love pretty.

I do love those metallic glasses.

I sometimes think that SD is where all the vintage stuff lives.
