Well, even if it is a bit of an odd one, I still quite like it. The lampshade was from a charity shop on our last trip up north, and the bottle was in the "hardcore" skip at the recycling centre a couple of weeks ago. I swapped it for some sheets of horrid non-reflective glass that I wanted rid of since I've decided to stop picture framing. Bottle lamp kit was £3 from ebay and hey presto!
I remember my auntie having a bottle lamp when I was little that she'd filled with yellow periwinkle shells like these. I loved it!
Any thoughts on what I should fill mine with? Or leave it empty?

it's lovely! how about beach glass? sure it'd be slow gong but it'd look so pretty. but it looks great anyhow!
p.s. i found lots of periwinkles on my cornish camping trip. they really remind me of childhood too, because of the lovely seaside-y Ladybird book i used to love reading.
I love it! just the way it is- clear, clean, pure. great job.
Thanks all! I love the beach glass idea Nath, that would be so beautiful but like you say rather slow work... It might be a good excuse for more beach trips though!
Wow I love it!!!
I would leave it empty. I like the kind of minimalistic, clean look of it.
Hello, I enjoyed your blog, I always come back here
Scotch eggs and jelly beans please
i dont know...the shells are kind of cool....
Layers of natural and blue colored sand would look neat.
love it anna. i think i'd leave it. although brightly coloured felt balls sprang to mind for some reason! x
Marbles! Beautiful swirly bluey green ones. You might need quite a lot though...
I love it, too! It's beautifully simple. I love it empty, but it would also look lovely filled with driftwood pebbles.
