and one of these...
add one of these...
and of course one of these...
and you get one of these...
a junk marriage if you will... sorry this one is mine but you can totally copy this for yourself... you'll need an old floor lamp base, a crusty ceiling fixture, a tart tin and of course a candle.
Enjoy...
Love it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a happy marriage.
