We found this lovely swag lamp at the Rose Bowl Swap Meet over the weekend. Hahah....I think I may have seen you lugging that lamp around...I saw someone carrying that lamp peeping into another vendor's spot...I didn't see much there this week, except a really nice jeweled Shriner Fez, with case and extra jeweled tassle-holders. The vendor wanted $40 for it, so when I decided to go back and try it on, it was too small for my head. Oh well! It seemed the Rose Bowl just didn't have my better interests this past weekend, and a fairly small amount of overpriced mugs/tiki stuff. Nice score on the spaghetti lamp! btw, I did find two matchbooks for $5/pair, but not the kind of score I was looking for. [ Edited by: Tom Slick 2009-01-14 21:51 ]
