OK . . . you are probably going to say . . . you are showing us another treasure?
Yes, I am! 🙂
When I was placing some things on the table
that is between the two chairs in the dining room sitting area . . .
I thought, it would be nice to have a lamp on the table.
Then it came to me, after releasing my senioritis, that I bought a lamp at the estate sale!
This lamp was in the guest house living room where the chairs were.
I thought . . . the lamp looked like it was part of the family
and I could not leave it behind. The chairs thanked me.
A beautiful brass candlestick lamp with great patina.
And to have such a beautiful lamp shade as its crowning glory.
This has become my new place to retreat and enjoy the view.
Even if it is just for 5 minutes, which is what I seem to have lately.
And when the sun sets each day, the lamp will help me remember that someone else happily
kept the light on for their guests.

That is such a pretty vignette and the lamp just makes it better. You know I adore lamps and would have one in every spot if I could. I bet that spot is so cozy at night. Have a fabulous weekend!

I love it!That shade just takes it over the top.I’m wondering if you have window treatments in this space? I’m looking for ideas for a room with Windows all around and I will need privacy.
That’s a great find, Shirley, and I love the shade. I just killed off my first orchid, but yours looks like it’s thriving. Feel free to share any tips! LOL
