Fall Candle Holder from a Lamp Base
Fall Candle Holder from a Lamp Base
A few months back, I pulled a wicker lamp out of the neighbors junk pile. The cord had been cut off but the rest of the parts where there. I keep lamp parts so I took it apart. The lamp shade was "toast" and I really didn't want it.The base of the lamp was wicker and in good shape, but I didn't like the color (sort of dirty blond). Sorry, I don't have a picture of the original lamp base. I didn't think I would be using the base. I put it aside for awhile.
Then one day I found the wicker base and had an idea. I found some brown spray paint. I got so excited that I forgot to take a before picture. While the paint was drying, I headed to A. C. Moore for a couple of items.

Vintage Bobbin Spool and Old Spring Display
 |
| Vintage Bobbin and Spring Fall Display |
Bobbins and the machinery they ran on were some of the greatest inventions of the Victorian Era. Since most textile mills had their own machine shops and their own favorite shape of bobbin, we see many varied bobbin designs.
Recently I came up with the idea to combine vintage bobbin spools with old springs. I found these unique spools, which are different from most of the wooden bobbin spools that I've collected. Someone thought they might have been for quilting, but I can't find any reference to that. If you know specifically what they were used for, please let me know.
