I think one of the hardest ...Ugh. You and Eddie :)<br /><br />I think one of the hardest things about flea market finds is envisioning something **without** all of the junk that's lying around it at the market. You're totally right, it *all* looks like junk on the table! But, here, in this space, it looks whimsical and fun and just perfect. Like how Eddie can make picnic cloth from 1972 look elegant. I'm just going to keep reading you all and looking at your inspiring posts - maybe I'll learn something eventually and absorb some of your style :)<br /><br />It looks great, Lauren.<br /><br />~Jacci in OhioJaccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06104879143621094527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030308239398272700.post-33939205437514009042010-01-17T12:18:40.656-05:002010-01-17T12:18:40.656-05:00I love that driftwood piece, it's so sculptura...I love that driftwood piece, it's so sculptural..., and the lamp fits right it.Maya @ Completely Coastalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15755183585583197881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030308239398272700.post-45285158608005566432010-01-17T12:01:57.255-05:002010-01-17T12:01:57.255-05:00It looks fabulous in your space!

As someone who is in finance by day but secretly loves all things design and fashion, it's one of my go to blogs. And I live in DC, so it's neat to read someone's blog who lives in the area. Anyway, I love the lamp, and I love the DC flea market (I went to the one in November after reading about it on your blog and found a fantastic vintage green coat and antique diamond ring...see, fashion). But what I really want to comment about is your post title and how much I hope it is a reference to Anchorman. Such a great movie and oh so quotable. Congratulations on the new baby (I mean it, although I feel a little creepy saying it, as if I'm a stalker...knowing personal things about people from the internet is still new for me)!Elizabeth B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11876937133176343093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030308239398272700.post-33866445762277998992010-01-15T19:47:23.395-05:002010-01-15T19:47:23.395-05:00It is hard to resist a good lamp!

I discovered your fabulous blog recently and have been keeping up with you in my reader--when I saw your lamp, I knew I had to leave a comment. :) Last year I scored two identical faux bois lamps with their vintage fiberglass shades--and store tags still on!!!! I almost hate to tell you...for $25 for the PAIR. I was so excited to find them in a dusty junk shop--even though my husband didn't share the joy. :( <br /><br />Hooray that you found some time to get out and shop. And congratulations on the new bebe!<br /><br />I've been on a blog break but am starting up again with a relaunch this spring. Until then, I'm just playing around, getting my feet wet. :)<br /><br />Enjoy that awesome lamp!angela | the painted househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04097189273749523896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030308239398272700.post-1055483890258735722010-01-15T19:44:20.987-05:002010-01-15T19:44:20.987-05:00Lauren, what a fun find.
