While I was dropping off a table to get a little freshening up at a buddies place (more on the results later) I was offered yet another super mod plant stand. Do I have need of another super mod plant stand...or a plant stand of any type, for real? Nope. But, as is often the case, it was offered at such price as that I could not refuse. It was cheap...and I love these whether I can use them or not.
Oh, if only I had the patience and necessary skills to grow plants. Maybe next spring. I did
manage to grow some grass in our front yard this summer (which promptly got scorched days
after we left for vacation) but grass seems easy as once it gets going it's relatively self sustaining.
Plants are like...puppies or kittens. Reliant on constant attention for their very life. I'm just not
possessed of that level of responsibility.
This is a strange little lamp shade. The outside (the part you can easily see above) doesn't look
vintage...or at least looks newish trying to look vintage. But it has a semi opaque plastic sleeve
inside that looks truly old. It's not real pretty so I didn't bother to shoot it. It' actually been too
close to a hot bulb or two and has some scars to show for it.
And yet another patent vinyl ice bucket! This time in a very light, subtle Chartreuse with a matching
knob and a clear handle. I been finding so many of these lately that they are only rivaled by my
finding of vintage modern fireplace tool sets! The good news is that having so many available means
I've got lots of colors to choose from!
I have a similar plant stand and I love it! Even tho my plants often die - I instead filled some cheery colored planters with seashells that my mother-in-law had collected. Voila!
