Thanks Bill, I'll get some of the red and green lamps tonight and post those.
Frogs are good, pretty soon those will be the only kind we see.
I'll try to get some different angles to show some of the Bosko stuff etc...

Agreed but I need to get a yellow one to do that!
Although I do want a yellow one when you have time.
PM me and well talk about it.

Taking orders now for float lamps for Tiki Oasis .These can be delivered right to
your hotel room .Pm me your color preference and if it is going to be outdoors or
inside .Just an FYI ...you are saving yourself $35-$40 in shipping cost,insurance
and packing materials by picking your lamp up in San Diego at Oasis and not having
to have it shipped.

Cheers-Billy

Thank you to all that picked up lamps in San Diego and Oasis.Your support is much appreciated .
Would also like to thank Notch for displaying several of my float lamps in the new RAKU BAR.

have liked to.

Tried to get a good photo of all 4 at one time but it only came out so so.
I took some more with my Nikon instead of the Canon tonight, I'll see if they come out better and post tomorrow.
For now this will have to do.

Bill,

Took some additional shots but I'm going to have to play with different settings to come up with better exposures.
It's hard to find angles in the yard to capture all 4 at once.

Thanks Bill, it's constantly changing. We got this cool stand to hang them on when not in use.
Diana's going to decorate it and make it into a float lamp Christmas tree this year.
She's really, really good at it so I can't wait to see it. Last year it was a palm tree Christmas with gold disco balls as the coconuts.
Maybe we'll see you at the crawl?

Jon, thanks for the compliment. You and Janelle gotta come visit sometime. Lots to do in Nor-Cal.

Another successful shipment to GREG_D_R in St Louis with one of my glass float lamps.
Greyhound shipping is doing a fantastic job on handling these fragile packages .
I will continue to use them and support them with handling and shipping my lamps!
I am sure Greg will post some pics of his lamp when he gets a chance .
Thank you to everyone here on TC that has helped and supported me on this difficult
project .
