I can't remember when, but maybe even close to ten years ago I brought a wicker lamp shade home from nearby that was painted in an ugly matt orange, even close to a red lead iron base, so I spray painted it in silver wih an equally curb found can. Took it to several markets but never got rid of it. Then some years ago I took it to the thrift shop where it remained on the shelf for months. When it finally dissappeared I didn't know if it was sold or thrown out to make place for new or better stuff. And honestly I didn't care much.
So to my surprise a short while ago I found this photo in a local Facebook group: someone offering the three table lamps for free pick-up. Though it's hard to see it's silver if you don't know it, I so recognized the shape of my shade in the middle! And happy to know that after the buyer had enough of it hopefully found another destination.
