Don't you love it when something turns out pretty good??? I found this not so cute lamp at the local thrift shop...I think it was $2..I like it's little tiny size...brought it home,cleaned and sanded just a tad..a little paint and stain...now,he's a cutie...added some lace to an old shade and now it lights up a little dark spot....
My latest completed project...can you tell I really like lace? I loved this saying the first time I saw it....a sweet reminder that death is not the end and we will see those we love once again....
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
