Re-purposed Lamp Base
Was on my way to the post office and ended up at the flea market.
Hmmmmm...... funny how that happens. LOL!
I found this beautiful old Cherub lamp base.... in poor condition and no longer suitable for it's intended purpose.
The cherub was so lovely..... I just had to buy it.
What I found most charming..... was the old enamel paint.
I knew I could do "something" with it.
I took it apart..... discarded the lamp parts and re-assembled it.
The top "bowl" had little holes all the way around. I have a box of old chandelier parts I keep on hand for just such a project. I was able to find enough crystal prisms to fill all the holes.
It now makes a lovely candle holder or vase. Would even look wonderful filled with soaps on a vanity.
I decided to fill it with dryed roses.... for now.
Have a great weekend!
