Monday Newbie Party with a twist for Grads

Thanks Anne

Thanks Kathy.
Wednesday was my day to go to town to the 25¢ Parking Lot Sale and run errands. After I met with the rain-gutter installer at the Rental, I/we determined that we needed a rain barrel for the downspout to drain into instead of up against the foundation of the house. I had to go to the little town nearby to buy one. Well ... this took me right by the Youth Ranch Thrift Store ... I did not need anything, but always like to check them out and could use some more Fall decorations ... besides purchases are for a good cause.
The tool section and the lamp section are my favorite sections. And since I was in a hurry, I would take a quick run-through those two sections.
... well, nothing in the tool section; so I dashed through the lamp section ... just a couple old lamps ... nothing worthy to stop for ... BUT ... whoa ... wait ... STOP ... back up ... that's not a lamp ... it's a pumpkin !!
Yep, just look at the beautiful amber crackle glass globe ... doesn't that look like a pumpkin to you???
Sure does to me. So for $5.00, it came home with me. I can always use lamp parts.
Disassembled,
washed and shined up ... I trimmed off a piece of tree limb to fit in the electric card pipe hole ... added some tiny curly wire .... 
I added a few faux leaves on the top and
there you have it ... a beautiful crackle glass pumpkin that can be lighted too. Pretty by herself and with other decorations.
Add a little wreath of berries under her for the perfect Fall look.
She looks very much at home sitting on the vintage potato digger and the old wagon goat cart.
She is pretty sassy sitting on this Shabby white lamp base. A small night light can be connected here.
She also loves being a part of my Fall Mantel decoration.
Thanks for visiting.
Blessings,
Audrey Z.

This is so cute! When I saw the picture, that's exactly what came to mind. I love the way it still lights up and the way you pumpkined (I know, not a word)it up.
ReplyDeleteAudrey that is one clever pumpkin. Love it.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a good eye and a fertile imagination. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteAnother good one. Love how you reinvented that lamp into a pumpkin. Love the crackle look, ok, love it all.

My,my,my!You are so clever. I think you did a wonderful job coming up with this one!
ReplyDeletePat
What a creative eye you have!
ReplyDeleteI have a lamp with a similar 'pumpkin' on it but I never saw it this way before! Mine has a swirl pattern in the glass instead of the crackles.
I love your idea & I'm very tempted to try it but I love my lamp too. I will be keeping my eye open for one to take apart though.
You've done it again! I want one of those crackle glass pumpkins. ~ Maureen

I'm pretty sure I would not have seen a pumpkin in that lamp base - it's a good thing you did, because that is one very pretty pumpkin :-) Great find!
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative and I like it. That was so cute and how I am amazed with your ideas.. This is so fantastic and I think perfect as Christmas decor. Big thanks.
ReplyDeleteAudrey you always come up with the cutest ideas ever. This really turned out cute. Thanks for sharing with the party.
ReplyDeleteAudrey, I just found you through DebbieDoos. I can't believe my eyes. I have seen a million lamps just like this one and not ever put 2 and 2 together that it looked like a pumpkin! I am astounded and I just think you must be so clever and I love it!! I'm going to be watching you so that I can learn something new. I'd also like to invite you to visit the Cottage. I would be very happy to have you..Happy Monday..Judy
