Monday is Fun Day - Oriental Lamp

Monday is the day we look at fun things I've collected from antique stores, flea markets, garage sales, or new items from good, old regular stores.  I decided I had way too many things that used to be fun when I first bought them, and now I'm ready to let them go.  This weekend I started bagging them up to donate to a small, local charity.

I bought this lamp at an antique mall several years ago.  There was always something I liked, yet didn't like about it.  I think part of the "didn't like" was the underside of the hat reminding me of a mushroom.   Nowadays when I shop, if there's any aspect at all that falls in the not-sure-how-much-I-like-it bucket, I don't buy it.

I've only used this lamp for a few months in the years since I bought it, so it's time to move it on out.  I hope the next person gives it a good, permanent home.
