This past weekend, Ryan and I were in Ft. Collins thrift shopping. We were shopping for chairs, since my latest project is fixing up some old chairs for my house. I was looking around at all the trinkets and junk lying around when, what do I stumble upon? A purse lamp. I start laughing and grab the thing. I'm turning it around in my hands, turning it on and off, and trying to figure out how it was made. Also, I'm pondering the thought, "who makes a purse lamp??" This is amazing! I yell at Ryan to come check this thing out, I think I might get it for my sister for christmas! It's vintage-ey looking, and since she's into fashion, I thought it would be funny. His reaction? "that's the ugliest thing I've ever seen!" Well, I wasn't exactly going for aesthetics I guess. So, this purse lamp not only worked, it was amazingly ugly and I really wanted to buy it but it was $10. At a thrift store. That's too much so I left it there and moved on. Now, we found some amazing other things, which will be my next posting, but I could not stop thinking about this hideous purse lamp. I told a few people about it and then decided to check online. Well, to my surprise, these purse lamps are actually made by people...more than 1, and the one that I saw was NOT a single made entity. WHO KNEW!!! So, this is just that much more entertaining to me now!
