I am doing a happy dance. dancing Stopped in a small antique shop on the way home from errands, because a 3 section room devider caught my eye. Well the devider was way to expensive to convert for a stained glass one, but I found some beautiful crystals. They range from2 7/8s, to 3 1/2 and 4" top to bottom. $2.50ea
And I scored a brand new stool for my studio. Perfectly brand new condition. dancing dancing

Joan, watch second hand and scrap/recycling places for the chandelier crystals too! I've bought them at those kind of places in the past.

I love that stool. You really had some good finds. I have two lamps that were my mom's with crystals. Had they not been hers, the crystals would not still be on one of the lamps.

Those "tear-drop" shaped ones make great angel heads - more realistic than the round ones. Grind off the end with the hole in it to a) get rid of the hole and b) make them solder more solidly to the top of the body
