HARLEQUIN LAMP



It was at a small Victorian house.
 There were so many folks packed in that house, both days, I nearly panicked. 
The small dining room had an enormous beveled glass dining table
 and I was carrying large pieces of garden concrete over it.
 Scary.

Then I saw the harlequin lamp:



I buy and sell lamps weekly but this one is a keeper.
 Just the right amount of whimsy and height. 
Sometimes bargains are found at estate sales, especially on day two. 
The lamp was $20.00 and it is more than I usually pay.
 But still I am loving it and may move it to my bedside table.











The lamp relates to the pillow in the chippy green chair. 
It casts a soft light on the the little desk at the base of the stairs.

On the good news front we had rain last night.
 On the bad news front I am sick. I just returned from my friend and doctors office and will be having an ultrasound, hopefully, in the morning for abdominal pain. Along with that I have a terrific headache and have not eaten much in two days. I  made white rice yesterday and that made me feel worse. Then I knew I was in real trouble. I am praying it is a virus and not a fussy "hot" gallbladder. I am about to medicate myself with headache medicine and lay down after I visit with some of ya'll for a few minutes then I will be back tonight.

I party on the internet@Wow Us Wednesday's.


joy and peace

  1. you have some of the most amazing finds and this lamp is one of them. It would be a keeper too for me. I see a pillow in a far distant chair too that would be a keeper as well.

    Take care of you, Praying it is only a virus. Please keep us posted on how you are doing.

  2. I am loving your lamp and that pillow - they look like bestest friends!

    I lost my gallbladder to an overly large lunch at a restaurant in Minnesota called FAT BOYS in 2005. Have to admit that I haven't missed it or the trouble it used to give me. Hoping you are feeling much better SOON.

    Blessings!

  6. The lamp is just perfect in your home. I would have fallen in love, too!

    Hope you get some more rain, I think we all need it after the heat wave. And I hope you don't have something serious. I will be thinking of you.

  13. What a great lamp ~ and $20 isn't unreasonable for one that you're keeping. It's okay to pay a little more when it's for you (: praying for wisdom for the doctors so you can get better quickly.

  15. Oh I am sorry you are not feeling well...you better take it easy. I am sure the heat isn't helping it either!

  16. I wouldn't even care if the lamp related to Nothing in the room. It's cute and a total keeper. I'd have bought it too and just made it work somewhere in my home. Love it!

    My husband is having some pain the past few days too... he will be visiting with his surgeon in a couple of days. It's no fun getting old, that's for sure.

  23. Definitely a keeper - so whimsical! Is that a buddha I see in that glass jar? Love him (I have a few of my own)!

    Hope it's not your gallbladder - I had mine removed a few months ago!

  25. I love it! It's my colors, design and yes, whimsy. I so hope you feel better quickly. I had gallbladder problems & surgery eons ago. Best thing ever! I got to the point that I couldn't even drink iced tea and having it out resolved all the problems. My best to you!

  28. Oh, my friend, you can't get sick! So sorry you feel bad and hope it's not gallbladder. I had mine out and have not had IBS since! I mentioned you in my blog but didn't do agreat job at photographing the pitchers. Will add some flowers and photograph again on my table or not-a-mantle-cabinet top.

  31. Fabulous lamp, Olive! I would have run over to grab that lamp! It looks perfect on your desk. Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. As someone who suffers from stomach issues, it can be very frustrating. The one time I thought I had a stomach virus it turned out to be appendicitis!

  32. Oh Olive. I hope you feel better and it is not the darn gall bladder thingy. On a brighter note I love your new lamp and can't blame you one bit for making it a keeper. It is the perfect compliment to your little table, chair, pillow and I think I spied a pretty picture of your daughter. NICE! Ann

  33. Like I said...I've got to get around more.
    I really hope you're right and it's not your gall bladder. Prayers going up.
    Can I just say I love your photos? They're such a bright spot in my day.
