Where can I buy those twig floor lamps?

I've seen loads of them in the past and they were all really cheap. I've been looking now and they all seem so expensive.

Has anyone seen them anywhere?

The ones that look like a bundle of sticks with christmas lights threaded through ?

they have one in the Next Directory, but you have to put it in a vase or something. £22.99 - 993 101 G30 if you want to look it up.

NomDePlume · 22/07/2006 08:31

what's the cheapest price you've found them at ?

I'll see if its in the sale as they've changed the site to Adobe so you can't see the pics.

I'll check it out though, thanks

I've seen some in TK Maxx for £19.99 each but I didn't get them as they were quite heavy and typically we don't have a store near us.
They do have the same ones on Ebay but the seller wants £10 postage!

They haven't changed the site to adobe, we're just getting the listings preview screen because the site has crashed (too much traffic I guess). When I went on as a VIP (I got a preview shop on Thurs) it was the normal sale set up.

What page number is it on the directory NDP?

Cheeky sods ! Although I suppose if they are heavy, they may well cost that much to package up and send securely.

Seriously, I might do that Misdee.

Do you know, you couldn't move for them a while back and the minute I bloomin want one I can't find them!

misdee · 22/07/2006 08:37

NomDePlume · 22/07/2006 08:38

YellowFeathers · 22/07/2006 10:59

Yeah I like them but am also a big tight bum so don't really want to have to pay £40 for 2.

Thats the thing I want though, the darker ones.

In our old house i got some twigs for £4.99 from ikea and a set of £1.99 xmas lights and threaded them through and they looked just as good as the others.

biglips · 22/07/2006 11:06
