I can't remember the last time I spent more than $200 on a lampshade. Okay, it was in a past life, if ever.
However, I am a huge admirer of the artistry, imagination and sheer, strange beauty of this Tropical Giraffe Blue Drum Lampshade. It ranges from 12" diameter X 11" tall to 18" by 10." The description by the vendor, the FabFunkyPillows site on Etsy.com—which features wonderful creations—is more poetic than any I could muster.
"Wildly extravagant crested and winged giraffes grazing in a gloriously coloured [I love that UK English spelling] forest; watched by horned birds in a range of neon colours, and other strange and exotic fantasy creatures.
It's $225 to $325, depending on size.

A little parenting, a little humor, some poetry, news, essays, a lot of music. I don't want to waste your time, just send positive vibes into the blogosphere. Oh, yeah, my name is Sarah Torribio. Enough about me, how are you?
