I was already so into this lamp for a long while, but it was one of the only few things that weren’t being sold yet. There was a tag with the text ‘Not for sale’. I already asked the shop owner once about it, and she said she was going to sell it, but just not right now.

Like on several Wednesdays, I went to the thrift store looking for new arrivals, and the beautiful beloved lamp jumped up in my face. Again, I asked her about selling it.

Me: “WHEN you’re going to sell it, how much will you ask?”
She: “€2.”
Me: “I’ll give you €5 right now.”
She: “I need to think about that, there already asked me a bunch of people about this lamp.”
Me: “So what about €8?”
She: “Okay, you’ll get it for €5. I’m not into ripping you off.”
In my head: “Yeah, I got it, I got it, she likes me, she likes me :)”

The lamp itself is behind the middle gold part, so it’s not a candle or something but a real lamp. And the beads are real crystal, not plastic or glas. Two beads are missing, but I’ll fix that.

Sorry for being so late with this post, but I haven’t really been at home that much, so that’s why I couldn’t upload it before. I took this picture while making up our Christmas tree. As you can see I wasn’t finished yet. Our tree is actually a lot bigger than in this picture, quite weird. Or maybe this just seems cause I’m tall.

And late too: Our Christmas decorations

I actually need to say that a lot of the decorations are there the whole year, lol. First picture is of the ‘completed’ tree. I know the shape looks quite stupid, but it costed only €1,50, so.

A girl asked me today about the painting on my wall she saw in a previous post. So here it is, the full shot. The D stands for David, my boyfriend, and the R is of course for Renée, myself.  I painted it about, errr, a bit more than a year ago.

Sorry for not posting yesterday, but I didn’t have any time. 

Because I’ve got 72 belts, I need enough room to store them. This is where and how: On the inside of closet doors, and in every corner of my closet.

On my chair, because there’s no room left. Plus in a basket, on another closet, for the large ones, that don’t fit anywhere else.

I found out there’s a thrift store in the same place I go to school, so immediately went there. Too bad they don’t sell clothes or bags, but I did found some really cute things. I bought 8 little porcelain kitten sculptures (just bought all they had) and one of a dachshund (I have a real one, so that’s why). I’m starting a porcelain kitten sculptures collection, I just love cats. I paid just €1 for all of them! I also bought a little footstool (with a beautiful old pattern) for my room and a coat and hat rack.

Then, I found out they did have jewelry and grabbed 10 things. All tiny things were just €0,25 each and the necklace costed only €0,60! Like oh my god. I’m so in love with the turquoise bracelet! It’s really wonderful! Then I bought 2 dishes to hang on my walls. For all these things I paid just €16!

All 10 sculptures: €1
Footstool: €6
Coat and hat rack: €5,50
Necklace: €0,60
Pins and bracelet: €0,25 each
Two dishes: About €1

I can’t store them, already for years now. Soon, I will be getting a 17th century closet from my grandma, so I can finally store them. Nowadays, they’re hanging at the ends of my curtain rail and lying on the floor.
