The irrepressibly curious turkeys inspected the cool, retro lamp I got at the Salvation Army thrift store yesterday for $2.50. It seemed to meet with their approval.
I have been buying this 1970's style of lamp whenever I come across one inexpensively since we moved to the farm. I have acquired many similar lamps in the typical 70's green and orange colors, but this is the first specimen with blue glass I have found.
No, our house isn't decorated with these retro lamps. I have been disassembling them for use as fence post finials. Rog mounted them on the fence posts along our driveway and I inserted solar-powered landscape lights. They glow like glass pumpkins and squashes at night, guiding guests in and casting groovy light patterns on the driveway. We also stacked a couple on either side of our patio gate for a more colorful entrance. Silly, but I get a kick out of them.
