A pair of lamps graced the homemade vanity in my bedroom during my tween & teenage years. I always called them my "foofoo" lamps. One of them moved around with me from the time I left home & currently resides in FL with me.
I always wondered what happened to the other one of the pair.
The long lost foofoo lamp was discovered a couple of years ago when we cleaned out my parents house! My mom had kept it & was using it in my old bedroom where she did some sewing & crocheting.
Of course I wanted the long lost pair to join me in FL, so it was packed away in the car & moved to FL. Alas! It did not survive the journey. The plastic lampshade cracked! Despite it's broken shade I kept the lamp. I just could not part with my foofoo lamps. There were too many memories attached to them. For the past two years I always thought I would replace the cracked shade.
The other day I was zipping down the aisle of Walmart headed to the checkout.
A display of lampshades caught my eye!
I noted the measurements & proceeded on my way.
When I got home I measured my foofoo lampshade.
It was almost the same size as the shades I had seen in Walmart.
The next time I was in Walmart I purchased two new lampshades.
My new lamps!!
