Strolling through a favorite thrift store close to the yellow house yesterday I spotted this curious green ceramic lamp.
It is from the fifties I believe. It has one broken spot in the back, thankfully. I found the matching shade in another area of the store. I was so excited. Heart racing. I know that is weird.
It did not work when I brought it home. Joe, bless him, rewired it. I think it will be placed on a white wicker table next to our crazy floral sofa in the den. For now I took photos by a window in the den with some oil paintings and Minerva, a little statue I found recently.
Notice the matching trim on the shade. I like it!
I am linking with coloradolady for Vintage Thingie Thursday. This is my first time linking to this event. I hope I do it correctly!

OMGosh...I was a teenager in the 50's and my mom had a lamp just like this. I wonder where the heck it is now...think maybe THIS one of yours was her's, so you need to send it to me ASAP !!
ReplyDeletehaahhhaaaa....really..I am pretty sure we had one very much like this.
So glad you found something that makes you smile.

Beautiful lamp Olive. I like the green buttons? accents on the shade. Lovely photos, the teapots are pretty.
ReplyDeleteYour lamp is so neat. I've never seen one like this---I do love the shade trim. Happy 1st Vintage Thingie Thursday.
ReplyDeleteYour lamp is adorable! And that really is the perfect shade for it. What a great day at the thrift shop! But then, I always figure any day is a great day when you get to spend it thrift shopping.
ReplyDeleteHappy VTT and Happy Summertime! from Joy @ Joysweb
That is a beautiful lamp. Sometimes you wonder what makes people get rid of something this neat.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very unique looking lamp. I love lamps and love ones that are not cookie cutter and are different. Glad your husband could rewire it.
ReplyDeletehappy Vtt! Glad you found the matching shade.
ReplyDeleteI love that lamp. What a great find. I think I would spray paint it. But it's nice as is too. I just became a follower. Found you because you left a comment on my VTT post.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun lamp, I love the buttons on the shade. I think it looks great in the grouping you've got it in too, love the artwork and Minerva. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy First VTT!
