Thrifted Lamp

A new trip to my favorite second hand store made me realize I'm a lamp hoarder. But how could I resist this plump beauty? She has such a round head and a happy yellow base! I brought her home and she immediately became the new star of the craft room. Until I update this little beauty, her colors are perfect for these warm September days.

I hope that the lamp will sit on my desk and light my way while I play with crayons and watercolors. Painting and drawing are so soothing - I really think it's great to be able to put on paper whatever goes on your mind. What better way to spend those upcoming loooong winter nights, than guiding your hand and creating little wonders?

To tell the whole truth, there is a small crack in the lamp base. I'm planning to repair that and perhaps to paint the whole thing in a different color. Speaking of color, please note the rusty shades from the Oxalis leaves. Purple, blue and yellow - a beautiful Autumn symphony :)
