I have totally neglected my design-ish blogging as of late. . .my decorating motivation got reawakened the other day as I was strolling through Costco and found these lamps for $45 buckers for the both of them!!
Now. .. I'm not usually a Costco furniture shopper. . .I like to forge into the deepest darkest corners of the exchange, or ebay to unearth one of a kind treasures. . .but this was too good to pass up, plus the lines are totally mid-century. . .and $45 bucks? HAD TO. Especially since I'd just finished saving up for the rather expensive task of getting the vintage film poster from Germany framed:) I'm in love with it. . .my mother in law found it in Germany years ago. . .and it's been sitting in our garage waiting for me to save my pennies. . .
My midcentury lamp dreams were set on Lotte lamps ever since a friend introduced me to this designer. . .but $45 bucks says later Lotte. . .I still love you. . .but you'll have to wait.
This picture is from the website www.lottelamps.com , they produce this iconic lamp from the master molds that Gunnar and Lotte Bostlund did since 1957. . .and do a fabulous job too. . .
Nothing beats vintage originals though:)
Today: On the Gorp front: 500 bars were sent off to the Gimli Film Festival. . .to be given away as samples from the Buy Manitoba booth, an initiative by the Manitoba Food Processors Association. . .whoo hooo!!
I seem to be pretty good at giving bars away. .. time to start concentrating on actually SELLING THEM!
