Fun…Hmmm. What’s that? 😆 Just kidding. 😉
Besides painting, I do alot of reading. Not magazine reading, although I do get a couple cooking magazines. I read anything by Stephen King, Dean Koontz, John Saul, and the Alex Cross series by James Patterson. I’m not a big non-fiction reader.
I like to fish, camp, hike, and walk.
I also collect antique hurricane lamps.
I draw alot. Even if it’s doodling while I am on the phone. 😆
Otherwise, I have a pretty boring life. 😯What are hurricane lamps?
Cus there’s gonna be a lot of hurricane lamps this year with all the hurricanes and all….. 😯
Hurricane lamps are those windproof/waterproof lamps that sailors and the such used back in the day, yes? No? I’m way off?
LOL! Hurricane lamps cover a wide range of lamps. From the old train style that burn oil to the newer ones. I collect all of them. But my favorites are the dual lighted table lamp forms…
That is the type I mainly collect…I do have some of the oil ones too. I also have an extensive collection of fancy oil lamps. They have come in handy nore than once when the power went out. If you burn oil lamps when you have no heat, they can warm a 900 sqft apartment with the use of 5 lamps. Dave and I did this while the power was out for 3 days. Everyone else in the building left, we got to stay and boy was it peaceful! 😆
Do you have any lamps that are old/vintage carnival glass? I’ve always loved those…

I have an old milk glass one. And a couple pendant lamps. I also have 2 stained glass swag lamps like you would see in a bar/pizza parlor…But no carnival glass. My hurricanes I have are green, cobalt blue, ruby and amber colors. I did however buy a lamp that the man at the antique store told me that it was the ugliest damned lamp he ever saw and I wasn’t allowed to EVER bring it back…I still have it, have since rewired it, and use it daily. I love it! 😀
Any pix? I do luuuurrvv glass… would love to see your milk glass and the urgly one 😆

LOL! I wish I did. Once I get my pc up and running I can photo them for you. 😀 I can take pics now, but I already tried to hook up my camera dock to this pc and what a mess…Deleting programs is a pain in the butt! 🙄
Trust me ont he patience thing…You are NOT the only one! 😆 😆 😆 (But, at 35, I am slowly learning it. 🙄 )
twindragonsmum, I’m still waiting for pix of your glass….unless you posted them and I missed it. 😉 😆
