"Thursday; July 21, 2016 -- Organ Grinder & Monkey Lamp"

A "Fabulous Find" in need of TLC ... there is a break in the cast iron and the wires have been cut on this interesting, unique lamp -- an Organ Grinder and his Monkey.

Wish I knew how to repair this piece offered for sale on eBay ... 

"Wish List -- Lladro No. 5046 -- Organ Grinder & Monkey"

Those "in the know" understand my fascination with Organ Grinders and their loyal Monkeys.  This beautiful rendition of the subjects was produced by Lladro of Spain and retired in the 1980s.  The piece can still be found if one is diligent.

"Wish List -- Handmade Wooden Yarn Bowl -- Darn Good Yarn"

Sooooo beautiful!  Available from Darn Good Yarn.

I'd love one to work with ...
