The Misfits

It's Monday and time for Metamorphosis Monday

hosted by Susan at Between Naps on The Porch

and for The Knock Off Knock Out party at

It's So Very Cheri.

Be sure to pay both our host and all of today's

participants a visit for some very

wonderful inspiration.

Welcome to the sad little story of the," Four Little Misfits".

My .50 lamp shade and .25 bag of white feathers were

laying on separate shelves at the thrift store. Sadly day

after day they kept thinking, why has no one taken us

home and put us together, we could look as good as

that designer lampshade in the magazine and we

wouldn't cost $30.00.

Across town waiting to be sold at the community yard

sale, a little out dated lamp sat wondering what her fate

would be. Will someone buy me, or will I be forced to be

stored away in a cold dark basement for another year?

I just know for, $1.00 someone could take me home and I

could be glamorous again!

I would look soooooo good in silver!!

And we still have another little misfit across town,

waiting in a box for someone, (me) to rescue it and

all his little friends. We are old, but very beautiful

with just a little "Wright's Silver Cream", we would

shine for you, (thanks Bill for the tip).

A $5.00 rescue was in order.

I had to take action!

So as the rescue continues. The feathers and shade are feeling proud, they look

as good as the designer shade in the magazine.

And the little lamp is standing tall again feeling proud

to be wearing her silver. She thinks she looks just as good as the lamp in the

Christmas Gift Shop.

And here they are standing tall, self esteem has been

regained, no longer Misfits.

I hope you enjoyed your visit.

I must go now and try to save more "Misfits".

Please don't forget to,

leave a comment, suggestion or question. I love

hearing from everyone.

Bye For Now,

Sandy
