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?
Just leave it that way. It's perfect! :)

it's lovely! how about beach glass? sure it'd be slow gong but it'd look so pretty. but it looks great anyhow!
ReplyDeletep.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.
ReplyDeleteI love it! just the way it is- clear, clean, pure. great job.
ReplyDeleteThanks 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!
ReplyDeleteWow I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteI would leave it empty. I like the kind of minimalistic, clean look of it.
Hello, I enjoyed your blog, I always come back here
ReplyDeleteScotch eggs and jelly beans please
ReplyDeletei dont know...the shells are kind of cool....
ReplyDeleteLayers of natural and blue colored sand would look neat.
ReplyDeletelove it anna. i think i'd leave it. although brightly coloured felt balls sprang to mind for some reason! x
ReplyDeleteMarbles! Beautiful swirly bluey green ones. You might need quite a lot though...
ReplyDeleteI love it, too! It's beautifully simple. I love it empty, but it would also look lovely filled with driftwood pebbles.
