Twilight - Cullen Crest Leather Key Chain from Creative Rampage

Yay! My Cullen key chain came in the mail today from Amanda at Creative Rampage. What a wonderful transaction this was. I had placed the order but an emergency came up and Amanda was going to be out of town for a week or so. She promptly emailed me and explained the situation. She offered to either ship the item out once she got back and also offered me one of the handmade bottle top pendants or cancel the sale, no harm done. Not only do I love the key chain, but she also sent a Mrs. Cullen pendant! Both were packaged in a great little drawstring organza bag. Love it! Not many businesses go out of their way to make customer service a number one priority these days so hats off to Amanda! She went out of her way to make this customer a loyal one!

Let There Be Light!

I've been working on the studio for the past week and I need more light. Currently I have a floor lamp and a small desk lamp that don't give off nearly enough. I went over to IKEA (the web version since the closest store is 344 miles away) to view my favorite piece, the Knappa Pendant Lamp (seen below). I know some of you may find it hideous, but I think it's just lovely. I was a little miffed however when I found out that I couldn't order it online. *Sigh* Initially I wanted to purchase two along with IKEA's Kallt hang lights or something of the sort. How great would that be? The two lamps hanging over my work table and the hang lights on the wall in back. I'm scrapping the hang lights idea since I covered the back wall with cork, my ribbon rack and Ansel Adams prints. I'm open to storage ideas, so if anyone has any, pass 'em along :D
