WE DID IT !!

Well, it worked. How about that. Thanks Shann, I would never have done it without you. We even managed to post a pic of one of my lamps, but I've gotta do something with my pics, they're too hard to find the way mine are set up.
Have to get Shann's computer-clever husband, Shane, up here to fix them up for me.
Yesterday I received a gorgeous pair of boudoir lamps, brass bases and etched pink glass shades, which look absolutely beautiful on my antique sideboard. John though I was going to re-sell them!! NO WAY. These are all mine. He thinks that's funny, me buying lamps for myself.
It's a dreary day here in the mountains, but at least it's not raining again. I was going to do some pics and list some stuff on ebay, but not a good day for it. I will probably park myself in front of the TV later with an old movie and finish off a light shade I'm making for a friend from work.
One of my clients from work, who loves old movies, lent me a couple of his, old Bette Davis stuff, so I figure today is a good day for them. First though, I have to go refrigerate my tulip bulbs from last year. Can't believe where the year has gone, it's almost 12 months since my darling 3-1/2 yr old grandson Sam helped me plant them. Truly, he did. It was a freezing day, we got all rugged up and he stood in the middle of the garden, filthy dirty (we both were - lol) passing me bulbs and telling me "this one now nanny" and wanting to know what colour they would be. That's probably why they looked so gorgeous when they flowered.
Ok, mustn't waste my day off, stuff to do.
