Electric Sex

I couldnt get the other pair of lamps off my mind. I thought I would be happy with the other pair I got which were cheaper. I thought Id be happy enough to just get those and save us some money. But after thinking nonstop about them I knew that this chance probably wasnt going to come along very many times, if at all. So I contacted him this morning and said I had the money if he still had the lamps. He got them out of storage and I picked them up early this afternoon.

Isnt it glorious? I have a pair. With original shades. In working condition. Im in love.

Up close with the light on..

And with the light off, a more truer photo of the color of the shades.
If my husband were here this would probably not be mine right now so heres the one good thing about a deployment.

Im Very Weak.

I went for a coffee table. The amoeba one to be exact. Its the one my husband preferred and I do try to compromise because he doesnt exactly like all this "stuff" but he tolerates it for me. If I can find something we both like, thats what I go for and thats what I did this time except he didnt save it for me. It was gone by the time I got there. So I got the matching set for $180.

They didnt NEED to sell. They were collectors and ready to let go of their things. It was like a vintage lovers paradise. Loads of pyrex, sets of matching drinking cups, pairs of lamps etc. Apparently they also have vintage clothing and jewelry but I didnt get to see those and its probably a good thing too because I think I spent enough. I also got these babies. And yes a pair! Ive been holding out for a pair.

He actually has another pair that Im dying to have and if I can scrounge up money Im giving him another call. But who knows when that will be. ::sigh::
