Thanks for nothing, blogger. You suck. You make me ill. You lack integrity and have become money hungry just like the rest. Shame on you.
Ok, after that little outburst, I'm a tad more calmer.
I've decided to make a new blog, but keep this one open to the public as well.
It's going to take me a while so please be patient, bookmark me if you haven't already done so and keep an eye out weekly to see if I have the new blog ready.
I've also decided that the new blog will be invite only, through ravelry.
If you don't know what that is, go here ---> RAVELRY to sign up for free, because that's the only way you'll be able to contact me.
So please stay tuned, more info to come!

Today, I was happily blogging away... then went to add some photos BUT I GOT THIS!!!
" Whoops! You're out of space. You are currently using 100% of your 1 GB quota for photos. Upgrade storage
Photos
are stored in your Picasa Web Albums account and are included in your 1
GB free quota for photos. Additional storage you purchase is shared
between several Google products and is in addition to your free quota. Learn more "
HUH?? WHY?? I THOUGHT BLOGGER AND UPLOADING PHOTOS WAS FREE??? And what are they telling me about Picasa Web Albums? I don't use Picasa Web!!?? I'm confused!
I'm stupified, horrified and mortified. Is it a joke? Is it a prank?
Looks like blogger does not want me to post any more photos. Seems as though blogger is giving me an ultimatum ; either cough up the extra money or ship out.
Well in that case, I'll ship out. Unless somebody can enlighten me as to WHY I got that message?

Freebie light shades found! BUT. You'll notice with the first three shades, there is nothing to hang them from the ceiling light fixture. I often find them like this, and only in rare instances I find them WITH their own metal socket (is that what they are called?).
When I do find them, I hang on to them like gold! I've been to various lighting stores but all I'm usually told is 'no sorry we don't sell them'.
I browse eBay occasionally and I do find a small amount of them... and they are either vintage or if they are new, they cost a heap and /or in another country. And of course there is no guarantee that they will actually fit the light shade - even if it's a few millimeters too big, this could be disastrous for the poor shade!
I had found this working lamp sitting outside a neighbours front yard amongst some other rubbish a few years back, but I'm not sure why I never posted about it. Why somebody would throw out something like this, I'll never understand.
The glass panels you see were very different - they had a lovely red flower on each of the panels. Then one day the lamp came crashing down from where I had placed it and my heart sort of collapsed as well.
Just recently I found these glass panels on the metal frame that somebody was tossing out and although it's supposed to be a ceiling shade, it fits just right on the lamp. Aaahhh, everything is dandy again. :)

Sweet 'Koma' dome clock found for $3. AND it works. :)
How cool is this cotton fabric?? It's approximately 2m x 1m, which is a substantial amount. I only paid $2 - clever me.
Hong Kong spoon found for $1.
Lovely bamboo coat hangers for only 50 cents each, found last year. I never thought I'd say this about hangers, but they were worth every cent - I love them... as simple as they are.
