Roadrunner print isn't staying here but we haven't put it up on the wall yet.
The brass, doll sized claw foot tub, is a bit of a mystery. Not a production piece, very much one off, imperfect. As though given as a personal joke, made for a child, perhaps for a doll house, or a creative planter for a tiny succulent. Whatever it was originally made for, it fits here now.
D spotted this lamp at an otherwise not-for-us sort of yardsale. He put a red bulb in it, and it's now behind his desk. Nice foot/step-on switch. We think we know where it likely came from. A funky local furniture store where we got our sofa, and futon. We both remember a lamp very much like this, that was beyond our income.
And a parasol from Japan, so it doesn't have that strong lacquer smell of the Chinese ones.
Total outlay, just under $15.
And they have Eleanor's story on the Adoption center site.

Bargains, all good things, I like that roadrunner, and a nice neat Moby beside.
Moby has always appreciated art. Loves to sit by D when he plays guitar, too.
It's good to see Eleanor's portrait and story. What a success for everyone involved.
I'm not too sure about the tub, but the lamp certainly has some character.
Neat-o!
Both the second-hand finds and the write-up about your kitty cat: she's lucky, you're luck. Win win.
RR, Fresca,
We feel very blessed. Two great cats.
Phil.
It's a great lamp. The wee bitty tub is an odd thing, but it is shiny.
