Grannies 111, 112; Sunday Snippets


111









Both of today's grannies are from the book :  99 Granny Squares to  Crochet.








112






















Garage sale snippets...This wonderful dragonfly (which admittedly is missing the tip of the tail) was only 25 cents.  I love it.

















This lamp base is made of aluminum, I think.  I'll rewire it and make a lampshade and it will have new life.  I love the base, it's so graceful, and the price was only fifty cents~



















The rest of today's snippets are from North Lake Union Waterfront Park.


































































The row of shame.

    I was impressed with so many parts of this post, including thinking you must be insane to make all those tie-offs on the granny squares. Then I saw that gorgeous lamp shade. I believe there is a real treasure under that paint. This is Art Nouveau from the style. Two very popular lamp makers from that era include Bradley-Hubbard and Tiffany. Although I doubt it is a Tiffany, it has value, and far more than fifty cents. BTW, all Bradley-Hubbards were signed on the bottom, but the paint may have obscured it. Dates for this would be between 1905 and 1917.

      I also am sure that it is not Tiffany. Even if it is a knock off, it's worth far more than 50 cents! The bottom has felt stuck to it, poor thing, so I will be working at removing carefully what should not be there. Thanks for the input! Was the signing on the visible surface of the lamp, or on the bottom?

    I've just been thinking that I have to find time for some crochet and then I saw your post, it must be a sign!
