Birthday week thrifting orgy, part the first (status: keep on lookin' to see)

So last year I found two Paul McCobb chairs and an awesome Baumritter Danish style lounger on my birthday.  This year I did not find anything on my birthday because I was at the vet with a sick kitten (when I say "my birthday was poop", I mean that one of my kittens had some baaaaad diarrhea).  I decided to do some hardcore thrifting over one week, and hit 34 stores in 5 towns and 3 counties- that's why I call this my birthday thrift orgy; I will present my finds in several parts.

Today we view the lamps:

Ummy, three really nice lamps.  It used to seem like I saw cool lamps pretty regularly and so I became very picky about how much I would pay for a "common" mid century lamp ($4-5); those salad days of finding lamps seems to have ended so now I will jump on them for anything under ten bucks.

Gaze on the drip glaze glory of this huge 26" tall lamp.  I need to clean the base as it has a few spots of surface rust but, otherwise, this baby is good to go!  This came from the west side Volunteers of America in Columbus.

I actually have another of this white  24" tall "onion bulb" base lamp (twins!); the photo doesn't really show the "pebbly" or "lava" texture of the base that contrasts to the smooth wood neck.  I found this lamp at the Indianola V.O.A. in Columbus.

This last lamp came from a Goodwill in a small town near my hometown.  The chevron design is pretty cool, I think it's supposed to look like the veining in a leaf or like a palm frond.  This is the shorty of the trio and only stands about 22" in height.

BTW: sick kitten is not frequent blog guest Bubba- but is Mimi, who is one of my two Manx kittens.
