Ultimate Pen Holder

by Kay~Kacey on 6/7/2011

Ah, I found this pen holder when we were out antiquing. I seriously heart it. A. Lot.

The only thing I’m worried about with this lovely glass pen holder…is that my pen is always sitting out on my desk in plain sight now…I hope SuperGuy doesn’t get any ideas…

As an aside…I wonder if I sometimes go antiquing just to get cool, unusual pieces to photograph…

Great Joy at The Love Nest

by Kay~Kacey on 6/6/2011

Ah, there was singing and dancing and happiness at The Love Nest this past week. Why, you ask?

You remember The Tragedy of the Milk Glass Lamp, right? Where I knocked over the lamp and broke the lamp shade? Tragedy, I tell you!

Then my subsequent hunt for a replacement shade and I settled on this one, shown above.

Imagine my joy and surprise (and a bit of hugging SuperGuy and clapping my hands and a bit of jig in the middle of the Antique store)…I found this!!

New milk glass lamp with roses

Yep, I found another lamp! The milk glass part of it matches my old lamp, but the stand is a bit different.

So now I have two lamps, if I want. Or I can put the top of the new lamp onto the old base (’cause I like the old base better) Ah, life is good, I’m telling you!! Color me happy. :heart:

(Found at The Brass Armadillo out of Kansas City. (Grain Valley) Huge antique mall, but very hard to find!)

Magic

The magic of photography
Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen. ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I sometimes marvel at the wonder that is photography in my life. Did I find it…or did it find me? I look in my camera bag and pull out a lens and play and experiment and mess around with light. To me, photography is magic…

What is magic in your life?
