Lampshade update

I have a thing for birds,

 as many of you know

so, when I found this lamp,

I knew I had to make it mine!

The shade was way too plain,

so I dolled it up with deep blue fringe..

It stayed that way for about a year, but I knew it wasn't perfect-

you know when something bothers you 

as you pass it by-

I accessoried the table it was on-

I changed the tchotchkes, now and then-

but,

it still wasn't right so-

I ripped the fringe off and grabbed some burlap-

cut it into strips, rolled it into circlets and created rosettes-

once they were done, I took some rope

 and glued it around the top opening to cover up the raw edges

I love the new look

 and it was so simple to change it up-

 I see the rosettes on so many blogs

 and I love the look and texture

with the burlap, don't you?

 

Well, take care, gotta fly- Claire
