Though I never understood that in shirts, why turn perfectly nice colorful patterns inside? The equivalent of prewashed jeans, maybe... But I'm getting of the subject here. I miss the days when the chunky resin lamps could be found at the flea markets. I did find a Capiz shell lamp though recently. They seemed to have been used much more in Hawaii than on the mainland. Laney, I still wanna photograph your parents' neighbour's backyard, and your firedancer lamp. Would there be an opportunity now??
