I have been so busy I haven’t had a chance to get into my
craft room to do any papercrafts. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been crafty! For instance, I made
this great lamp out of an old coffeepot I picked up at a Thrift Store a couple
weeks ago.

I went to the hardware store to buy a light
kit, but it was too expensive for my pocketbook and besides, this was a re-purpose project. So, back to the
thrift store I went. I found an ugly,
but working lamp but no lampshade for $3.00.
I took the ugly lamp apart and used the
harp, socket, electrical cord, and the threaded pipe that runs down the center.
The only part that got thrown away was the ugly outside. The shade you see is one I
already had and goes to another lamp. I have since, found a slightly damaged
put very usable shade at a garage sale for $2.00 that’s perfect.
