sometimes I try really really hard to find something to buy...I was at a church youth fundraiser today and they really didn't have any (ANY) cool old stuff...so I bought these pretty, sheer scarves for my friend Elaine for her fairy wings...
I headed out to unfamiliar territory yet again today...just for a change of scenery. I ended up at a farm sale, where they, too, had nothing that I would really buy for my business...
and yet, I saw these packaged shiny things, one says made in Japan in really old print...and I wondered and wondered what they were. They finally saw me staring intently at them, and they told me to look up.
ahhhh...so that is what they are. Their uncle worked for JCPenney in the 1960's...and these were left over from the display department.
I bought them all...
somehow, they seemed just magical!
and now...one more sign...way out...I followed this sale sign for a few miles...
and am I glad...
I know they need rewiring, and the metal shades are a bit weary...
but when I saw them...
I think for a brief moment...
I stopped breathing!
ooohhhh....
am I crazy? I really love them...
