Lamp re-vamp

I don't like clothes shopping. Shopping groceries - no fun. To motivate me to get the grocery shopping done I treat myself with a stop at my favourite goodwill/thrift store. THAT makes my heart beat faster.

This must be the most quirky find recently:


While being nearly so kitchy that it had been fun to keep the lamp foot as it was, I still decided to give it a little make over:


I gave it a good cleaning, filled it with fake apples and glued some burlap around the yellowed plastic base...


I like how it adds some fun to my living room. The shade I got at another goodwill. It looked like new!

And I like how I can chance what's inside the lamp.
Any ideas what I can stuff inside?

Edit: 
Mr Viking likes the lamp.
He thinks I should fill her with candy.
I think she won't be left alone with candy inside. ;)
