…treasure indeed

September 26, 2013 by christen | 13 Comments

Thank you for all my beloved readers that suggested I find out the value of the artsy lightbulbs that I found in the trunk!

DH did a bit of research on the brand & make and it turns out that they are worth between $250-$400 each to a collector! What?!

I value old pieces for their look & history, but I must say that someone it is nice to hear that these treasures have a bit of monetary value. Lesson: look through your old trunks & drawers.

PS – I will be celebrating 36 years on the planet this weekend and am taking off tomorrow to….sit down. xoxo

    I found your YouTube videos when I was first learning to chalk paint and just loved them. They are fun to watch and very informative. I just started my own little business this past year and have a booth in an awesome antique/thrift/ and more mall. Once my daughters turned me on to Bloglovin I started following your blog and love it as well. Now my next project is to start my own blog and I took tomorrow off work ( I am an educational technologist for a school) so I could begin creating… And because I will be celebrating my birthday this weekend also. Sp Happy Birthday and thanks so much for always sharing great ideas!!

    Very cool about the light bulbs! So, will you sell or start a collection yourself? I could see them in a beautiful painted(of course!) shadow box.
    Happy birthday!
