In Salina, UT, along US 89 there is the Consignment Store, Hometown Treasures. This is their sign.

I purchased this lamp in 2012 and and created this photo arrangement as a header for the blog entry relating the story of its purchase. The shoot is intended to represent the uniqueness of the lamp but also to provide a subtle anachronism with the juxtaposition of the Stiffel and the 1950s copy of Look magazine and the iPhone. The blog entry follows in its entirety.

A few weeks ago I was sitting at home and realizing with some annoyance that I needed a lamp. I’d found myself in the habit of turning on every light in the apartment just to read at night so I took myself boldly unto the local furniture consignment shop to peruse their offerings. Because of the arrangement of my apartment at the time the added bit of furniture would have to be a floor lamp and sadly all the consignment store had on hand was an assortment of table lamps. I gave up the search and went home to my chimera of an apartment but was nagged by the image of one lamp in particular. In a fit of energy that evening I rearranged the apartment to accommodate a table lamp and bounded hopefully back to the consignment store the next day.

I arrived at the store, held the door for a woman coming in behind me and found the lamp that had caught my eye yesterday, referred to hereafter as “the Stiffel”, still awaiting a buyer. Placing myself next to it in a clearly “this is my lamp now, back off” posture I looked around to catch the eye of the proprietor. As I looked up I found the woman who had come in just behind me looking at me with eyes the size of saucers. She approached gasping, “are you interested in that lamp? That’s my lamp!” Over the next several minutes she related the lamp’s history as it served happily in her mother’s house for many years. In her home it was always referred to simply as “The Stiffel” and so it shall be known in my home as well.

All this rather unlikely happenstance does put one of a mind of just how oddly the world operates at times. If I had stopped anywhere different for lunch that day or failed to drive that particular route or even left five minutes earlier I would never have had the story. One hesitates to assign such things to some intentional mechanism but it is certainly very welcome when things somehow turn out in such mysteriously perfect ways.

I guess I should put the street numbers back up.

Catherine found this little 'treasure' in a Romeo consignment shop the other day.

Hmm, Antiques Road Show material?

Next time you clean out your closets, clean out the refrigerator too.

B4 we left on the trip we cleaned out and tossed everything in the icebox. If I'd known this place was waiting in Big Spring, I'da taken it all with me.
