Lamp It Up

So, did I tell you that I’m trying the Paleo diet for the month of April? I’ve heard such good things, and my friends that do it seem to love it. I’ve never done anything this strict before, and I’m basically married to carbs and in a serious relationship with dairy, so we’ll see how it goes. So far so good, but I’ve only been at it for like … 26 hours. Any other Paleo eaters out there? I’d love some recipe ideas, otherwise it will be a loooong month of chicken and sweet potatoes over here.

And speaking of lamps, Paula at Sweet Pea had one! It was unnatractive. So unattractive that she found it in a dumpster, not even cute enough to be donated to Goodwill. That didn’t scare Paula off though. All it took for a happy ending was a little rust removal, fresh paint, and a pretty paisley lampshade.

And now that Christy got her hands on this thrift-store lamp, it looks like it could easily be for sale in a fancy and overpriced catalog. Her price? Three dollars! See more on her blog Our Southern Home.
