I grew up in a farmhouse, one day my brother came in, having spent some time poking around by the old muck heaps, (as little boys will given half the chance) with this little gem of a lamp. Of course we didn't know it was a gem because it was covered in yuck. After a thorough clean we presented it to our mum for Mothers Day. She has given it back to me and I treasure it. The wonder of the thing is how it survived in a muck heap intact - including the glass.
How's this? Many thanks for the tips, I really appreciate the help (and will get better at this one day!)
It's just right! Great job!!!
ReplyDeleteThe lamp is very beautiful. I'm amazed it survived, especially knowing that I've already broken 2 chimneys on a small lamp I own, due to my own clumsiness.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a pretty plate!

Its amazing what will survive isn't it! I'm still trying to get the hang of photo's too. Some of mine enlarge and some don't - I've not worked out why but never mind!!! Keep going I'm sure between us all we'll get the hang of it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty little lamp! The story behind it, makes it extra special!!
