I Love Lamp

Crystals, prisms, diamonds, sequins. All that I long for in life.   I have been searching for a vintage lamp for the better half of the year, waiting for the perfect one to come up.  A couple months ago I found this beautiful antique lamp at the Fairfax Swap meet.  $40 later I walked away with this crystal and gold lamp base.  Sans lamp shade.  I also found a lady selling antique chandelier prism pieces.  I bought $50 worth of strands.  I stood there for about 15minutes making each strand equal length, getting my monies worth and making sure whatever I chose to create after this purchase looked legit.
Last week I FINALLY found a lampshade that fit to my liking.  I hung the chandelier strands from the lamp (as seen above) and voila!

Hope you dig!
