Vintage Bambi Saga Continues

Because I'm obsessed with all things vintage Bambi, I couldn't pass up this vintage Bambi lamp that I scored on eBay for $46.00. Bargain! I've seen another one go for over $100. The previous one that got away had a prettier blue lampshade and had no damage. This one had lost it's tail which has been dutifully glued back on. I don't care though as it's barely noticeable. It's awesome and affordable. Not to mention just so darn cute!






When I showed my boyfriend he groaned and rolled his eyes. He is very familiar with my Bambi obsession and is concerned my collection will overrun our future home. But it's really not that bad at all. He certainly doesn't have grounds to to start a 'Bambi hell' blog where he can unleash Bambi related anger, frustration and ridicule like the hello kitty hell guy.

I've promised they will all be tastefully spaced around the house. Not like the freakish little Bambi shrine I have going on in my bookshelf. I'm just keeping them all safe there. I promise.

My darling gifted me some of my best and expensive pieces. Not to mention being the best boyfriend ever by expertly gluing the leg back on my favourite Bambi that was knocked off the shelf by the 1946 bambi picture book. Gah arg, my Bambi's are all turning on each other!

I'm surprised he didn't freak when I showed him the little deer tattoo I designed the other day. Ah! True love is a man that will support your weird obsessions.

    1. I have this exact lamp with an original shade. It is in great condition, not chips or cracks. I would consider selling it a reasonable price, if you are willing to offer please email me. I live in Western Australia.
