I, too, have a thing for lamps - have way too many crystal or milk glass boudouir lamps - they are now filling the closet, since I have put one out everywhere I could!

Hey, thanks for all the complements!  I really do love to decorate my house.  In fact, I would rather thrift shop for the home, than buy clothes.  Although I do love purses.   Wink

Yep, the pot rack is a crib side. 

The Hull vase came from Goodwill.  I saw it in the cart of things they were putting out and I followed that woman til she set in on the shelf.  It's perfect, I couldn't believe my luck and all for $5.  

The ashtrays have been fun to find.   I have run out of flat places to display things so on the wall they went. 

Oh, and the lamps.....I am really having a hard time not buying more lamps.  I especially love the big 60's looking ceramic ones.    My husband has been a good guy and rewired some of them for me.  But his patience with my obsession is wearing thin.  His new favorite thing to say is "No more stuff until you get rid of some things".  But how in the world can I get rid of things???  Ok, so I really just don't want to!  I have been having the time of my life. Grin

Around here as soon as someone wheels out a cart from the back they are swarmed.  Its gotten to the point that they usually push the cart onto the retail floor and leave it there for 10 minutes before they try to push it around the store.  If it was my local goodwill you probably would not have gotten it if you had waited until the vase was actually shelved.
