All Lit Up!




Finally, I have a picture of my new Barbie lamp all lit up. You see, this was harder to get than it looks because I had to get out the extension cords, and the trailer power cord,  and get that all plugged in. By the time that happened I had to move them onto the deck because my DH was going to mow the lawn. Did I mention that lawn mowing is an art form with him? But I do have to say he does a great job of trimming and mowing all around Betty. After he mows it's my job to sweep all the clippings off the trailer and put the step back down, etc. As you can tell this photo was taken midday. You should see how cute this looks at night all lit up! Oh, and to the right of the lamp is my new cocktail shaker. The recipes for six drinks are printed right on the glass. Probably will never make any of them, but since it had a red Bakelite strainer/cover I just had to have it!

    1. This was one of those projects that was easy to do and it turned out just the way I had envisioned. That doesn't always happen, LOL.
      Thanks for stopping by!

  2. That turned out so cute! I'm envious of your camper! One day I will have my own to doll up with vintage finds.

    1. Yes Tammy, a vintage camper would be perfect for you. Just think, you could "shop" your shop and have it decorated in a jiffy!

  3. I love your adorable Barbie lamp! I saw a Barbie thermos at a vintage mall today and thought of you. I checked it out , but darn...too much $$! Your trailer is just so cute gal!

    1. I saw a really cute one with children and a farm scene, but it was too pricey for me too. Would have made a sweet lamp though! One thing about just gluing the lamp part on as opposed to drilling through the cup, you can always convert it back to a thermos if you wanted to.
      Thanks for the lovely compliment about Betty. School is finished this Friday so we will have some quality time next week!
