A Tale of Two Lamps

I’m not one to collect shot glasses or promotional T-shirts or even postcards on vacay.  The types of souvenirs that speak to me comes courtesy of local antique stores and thrift shops throughout town.  Although Park City is a total mountain resort, I was able to hunt down a second-hand Christian shop no larger than your average master bedroom.  Teeny-tiny and littered with used snow equipment like skis/boards/boots/bindings, the musty smell of year, maybe even decades-old, winter apparel made the quickie 10-minute-jaunt last for days on end.  I couldn’t shake the stench off me for miles away; however these 2 little faces made the search oh-so-worth it!  One man’s trash right???

These babies were on sale for $20 each even though I would have paid the full price of $80 for the pair.  Gleaming and gilded with the most perfectly proportioned black shades to go with; I was able to pack the brass bases in my luggage (super heavy) but was forced to ship the shades via UPS.  Weighing in less than 3lbs it cost over $80 to ship these suckers back to SoCal from Utah!!!  Friggin’ insane right???  I could have purchased brand new lamp shades for wayyyyy less than that!  

What I learned:  Bad decisions make the BEST stories y’all!

I wouldn’t have gotten a blog post outta it had I not shelled out that crazy amount, right?? 

Can’t wait to find these rams a new home in my pad!  

Perhaps on my nightstand so I can remember the Sundance trip that swept my heart away <3….
ahhhhh sweet dreams were made of these...

What types of souvenirs do you collect on vacation???
