In SO many ways!!

Freddie Oversteegen was a Dutch woman who was celebrated for luring nazis and nazi collaborators into the woods as a teen girl so she and her sister could shoot them to death.

We can absolutely play dirty.

The YES has won in Virginia; voters approved the constitutional amendment to adopt Dems' congressional gerrymander.

This is likely to deliver a 10-1 (Dem) congressional delegation in November, compared to 6-5 (Dem) now.

The remaining obstacle: State supreme court will be weighing in still.

I know of what you speak and my thoughts could strip lead paint

Might say they’re… Roman’ the countryside

Screenshot of a Tiffany lamp replica by Meyda with a very similar base to the mystery lamp

Screenshot of just the lampshade of a Meyda Tiffany replica, which has similar green/gold foliage against a purple background

Update: I haven’t identified it with 100% certainty, but I think it might be a discontinued Meyda Tiffany Laburnum replica! The base looks like a much more detailed version of the lamp on the left, and the shade has the shape/palette as the shade on the right.

SO many!!

Colorful stained glass lampshade made of an elaborate mosaic of glass pieces, creating the image of yellow and green leaves against a backdrop of blues and browns.

Base of the lamp, seemingly cast in bronze in the likeness of a tree with a fan of roots. My incredibly pale hand is grasping the tag, which reads "vintage Tiffany Lamp, $885" which is a significant number of smackeroos

Friends, an immensely low-stakes mystery for the day. While out thrifting yesterday, I found this purported Tiffany lamp. What do we think, legit or nah?
