Pimp My Lamp

I have been searching for a lamp for a while now.

I wanted something a bit different, but I didn't really fancy paying the hefty price that is attached to most decent sized table lamps.

I came across this beauty when looking at http://www.mademoisellepoirot.com/


A simple white lamp that has been transformed by adding some vintage brooches.  Lovely jubbly.

I thought I would give it a go myself...

I took one simple white table lamp:

                                                                                   
...Added a few vintage brooches:

...I proudly showed my mum, who donated a few old brooches to the cause:

TA DAH!  What do you think?!

I still need to do the back of the lamp, so I am waiting eagerly for bootfair season to start.  In the meantime, I will be searching on ebay and in the many charity shops in my local High Street.  

Watch this space for more additions to the pimped up lamp...!
