Beaded Lampshade and Favorite Flea Market Find

I want to give you a quick look at a lampshade I fixed up to go on my new favorite silver table from the Nashville Flea Market.

First of all let me tell you that I needed  a new shade to go on a lamp I already had.  I went to Wally World and found lots of shades but none that fit and really none I wanted to pay that much for anyway.  I needed a small shade, you see.  Guess what I found...a lamp on clearance for $2.50 that I didn't like, but the shade was perfect.  I couldn't buy a shade for that price.  So I got the whole set and will sale the lamp at my spring yardsale. 

The little shade went from this...

to this...

to this...

using these...

which were clearanced Christmas beads.

Then this little pretty looked like this all dolled up...

and she sat so pretty on here...

My new silver table from the Flea Market!!

This little table is, for now, (I have to say that because I move stuff all the time) in my guest room next to a beautiful antique bed.  Very unexpected, but very nice, I think.

Here's another look...

and another...

Notice the bottom shelf holds an extra blanket so if our guests get cold.  This afghan was made by my step mother.  It also has a basket full of goodies in case a needed toiletry item is forgotten.

Did you by any chance notice this great little clock?

I got her on clearance also at Wal-Mart for $2.50.  They must be doing some moving out of old items because a lot of their stuff was on sale.  I loved this clock.

There you have it, my new cheap beaded lampshade and my great silver table.  Oh yeah, and my cute little clock that has the loudest alarm I have ever heard.  Such fun things...

I am linking up to several parties tonight...

Home Sweet Virginia

Ahh Virginia, where the farms are rolling, the mountains are green, the air is fresh, and the clouds are fluffy. It is good to be home. I always enjoy coming home to Virginia and staying at my dad's house. I probably enjoy it so much because this actually isn't home anymore. It is where I grew up, but I no longer live here, making it a treat to be here.

When Andy and I stepped off the plane after traveling for two days and seeing four sunrises, we took in deep breaths and remarked about how good it is to breathe clean, fresh air. In Taiwan you could see the pollution. I could even feel it in my lungs when I took a deep breath. I feel like I need to detox my lungs after Taiwan, but I think being in Virginia for a little while will surely help.So far it has been really good for Andy and I to be home. We are doing some thinking about what is next for us, as well as enjoying family and ourselves. On Sunday we went to a huge climbing gym in Richemond, VA with my dad and Doro. We enjoyed a day full of rock climbing on all sorts of indoor walls. We even had an indoor picnic complete with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. :)

I've been dying to get my hands on the oven here. In Taiwan we didn't have an oven and it seems like all I wanted to do was bake or cook something in an oven. Finally I have the chance! So for dinner tonight I decided to make a version of baked crepes taken from Jennifer Jo's blog: http://mamasminutia.blogspot.com/. I made crepes, an all time favorite of mine. Usually I like breakfast crepes, but this time I tried something different. I took a bunch of carrots, onions, garlic, and green pepper and sauteed them. I put them with some cheese on the crepes, rolled them up and baked them in the oven. And voila! Dinner is served.
