He told me he wasn't sure he could do it so I should bring it to The Lamp Menders in Minneapolis (wow, really? you tell me that now). So The Lamp Menders replaced the main wire and all five sockets for $136 bringing my total to $240.00. Tom planned on hanging it on Saturday but we had too much running to do so he PROMISED Sunday would be the big day. 
And he made good on his promise...but not without him seriously wanting to kill me. Listen to this: So Sunday morning about 8:30 he starts working but discovers the "black" and "white" wires weren't marked so we drive to Home Depot. We were told by a lighting "expert" (I use that term loosely) to buy this $17 gadget...got home, it didn't work. Went back to Home Depot, found a different lighting expert who actually knew what he was talking about. Told us how to LOOK at the wires to tell which was which. Got back home, work a little more, find that the screw (or as the lighting people call it, "nipple") from our fixture we were replacing was smaller than that needed for the vintage chandelier. Tom went back to Home Depot, replaced the bracket to fit the bigger screw that he also got a home depot. We got the chandelier up, tested it then held the base up to the ceiling to find that the base didn't cover the hole. I went back to Home Depot to buy a medallian. They only had white so I found my ivory spray paint but it was out in the 30 degree garage so I had to wait an hour for the paint to warm up, got high in the basement spraying the medallian and now we're SURE we're good to go...no more trips to the hardware store! 
We take the chandelier back down, string the painted medallian, make sure the hole is covered, connect the wires, test to make sure it works, start to screw in the base...only to find that the new screw is not long enough for the darn vintage base thats about 3 inches deep (refer back to pic 1 to see the pretty scalloped base). So down it comes...again...and by this time Tom wants to throw the darn thing out the window (and me with it.) We already know that Home Depot doesn't have a long enough screw so we try Menards...no luck...they just don't make the 1/4" screws (nipples) anymore, they're all 1/8". As a last resort we head to our local Frattalone's Ace Hardware and they actually have another 1/4" screw the same length as the one we got at Home Depot BUT they have a little coupling that hooks the two together and VIOLA! We now have one that's long enough and that pesky (but pretty) vintage chandelier finally gets hung at 3:30. I don't know why Tom was so upset...it only took 7 hours and 6 trips to various hardware stores.
Final cost of the $79 chandelier = $302.00 (and almost my marriage)
Moral of the story = Don't buy a friggin' vintage chandelier (ok...maybe one more, just don't tell Tom)
And I found this hat, I don't collect hats, I only buy them for the millinery. And this one came in it's original Daytons box...lucky me! 
And I found just a few other odds and ends, neither of us found anything spectacular. 
I love, love, love these blue flowers, the metal key hole and the vintage hat label that I saved from a hat I took apart (it might even be the hat that I got the blue flowers from?)
I love old religious medals and pins, buttons and paper ephemera.
And I really love this fabric (wish you could see the pretty clear button better)
More of my favorite fabric and a bit of an old pillowcase.
And the Marie Antoinette look-a-like I got from my swap with Cerri of 
This floral fabric is my absolute favorite and I can't find anymore anywhere.
More vintage ephemera and an old locker number.
A little chenille flower and the prettiest lace I've ever seen.
And these are all the tags tucked in the pockets and bags...although I found that I missed a pocket and it's completely tagless so I've got an old recipe card I'll use to stuff in there. Now I can breathe a little easier knowing that all my "good stuff" still belongs to me and it's all in a pretty look book I can fill with my favorite photos.
