Hoooorse.

Are you one of those who have jumped on the ceramic animal bandwagon?  I can say I am a fan.  So, when Ona and I stumbled on a dirty, antique pair of horse head lamps this weekend at an auction we stuck around.  They were at the end of a table full of glassware.  In auction language that meant "forever."  So kudos to my little girl for sticking with me.  Okay, I may have had to bribe her with some bunny crackers.

The wiring needed to be replaced, so I disassembled them during nap time.

Then today, I picked up a new wiring kit.  That is after finding this shade in the clearance aisle at Target.  It was ticketed at $13.98 and I was stoked.  After a meek attempt, I pleaded with my brilliant electrician minded sidekick for help. 

Come to find out, the lampshade that I fell in love with bought was actually for a hanging lamp.  Womp, womp.  It required drilling a bigger hole in the bottom of the base.  Now, our horse head pal is looking like this.

Now, to find another shade.  I am thinking complimentary, but not too matchy matchy.  Thoughts?
