Antique ?

Mom gave me this lamp years ago.  Hippie cleaned it up.  There is a tiny crack in one of the panes of glass.  She had it for years and years.  The base is very heavy. Mom says its brass but we're not sure. I can't even pick it up.   As far as I can tell there are no markings on it to tell me where it was made.  Anyone have any ideas of how I could find out?  It sits on the end table next to the couch.

I did it

I called a real estate agent and me and Ron are meeting with her Thursday at mom's house. My brother won't be able to be there because he will be at work. It will be an "as is" sale, if we can even sell it. I might have to pay someone to take it off our hands LOL. I was so apprehensive about calling but the woman I spoke to was very nice and helpful. Turns out she graduated from the same high school I did a few years before me. Wish for luck that someone will want this house. With a little love and tender care it could be great.

Check another one off

Today was our usual day to go to Mom's. Earlier in the week, Ron and I decided we were finally going to get to Mom's junk room. Why I picked a day that was going to be 90 degrees and humid, I'll never know but I did. It took us most of the morning and early afternoon but we got it all done. Now, we can go in there and get cleaning supplies and other things without having to go through an obstacle course. We threw a few things out and there is still some junk in there - but at least it's organized junk now LOL.
