Another Ugly Lamp And A Bit Of SEO

The Man seems to have a way with bringing me ghastly lamps and when he came home with this huge shade I really thought how will I ever get rid of THAT?

Though it’s vintage, possibly Fifties and very well handmade I didn’t think anybody would still want this in their interior.

But he proved me wrong in a way. When I finally listed the shade a few weeks ago I thought it might make some kind of stage requisite. So I just described it as old-fashioned, not vintage or anything like that. I think it worked because yesterday a lady came for it who needed it as a prop for a singer song writers festival and said she would keep it for future other festivals as well.  And I got more cash for it than I had hoped for!
