I think that if you are approaching smudging with humility and the right intentions, there is nothing wrong with pursuing it. My best friend is also a "card carrying" First Nations (Canada) citizen and I know she would have no problem with you "stealing" this. She would want you to be informed and serious about it though and then happy that something from her traditions have been thoughtfully considered, respected and practiced by another person that was in need. Good luck, break ups are tough!

How do you find out about most estate sales? Company websites, Craigslist?

My alarm clock is set to my Ipod so I just put whatever song I want to wake up to on the night before. It's sooooooo much better than a screechy siren which just makes me want to hurl my alarm clock at the nearest wall.

I've done it and it worked out fine (it was a super old school lamp too). I don't remember what kind of paint I used, it was definitely something cheap and not special at all...probably just depends on the lamp though.

Not a bad transformation, especially for a temporary fix. I would suggest getting rid of the frosted glass shades altogether and just having bare bulbs (if you can find some cool looking bulbs).
