I was at an antique mall a couple of weeks ago and was just browsing as usual and then there it was! I gasped when I first saw it and ran over to check it out and to take a peek at the price with fingers crossed. Yes, I can do that. Let me show you what came home with me and a new vignette that I put together.
Here is a closer look at the scalloped edge.
The finial.
I rounded up some of my old leather books, the bronze blood hound, a large demijohn, an old bottle, and a silver tray holding a magnifying glass, old keys and a vintage print.
Somehow after I got to looking at this combination I felt like I was channeling Sherlock Holmes or something. "Elementary."
I picked up this vintage leather bound Dickens book, too for ten dollars.
I guess this may stay like this for a little bit until I start changing up some for fall.
You just never know around here.
Do you have a lamp fetish or a fetish for something else?
Joining the following:
Oh, and the lamp was $6o which I didn't think was very bad and I have never seen one like it before. I like to have unique items especially lamps.
The lamp is beautiful! Yes, I too have a lamp fetish. It's a wonderful sickness...lol.
ReplyDeleteChairs! and really, I had to quit! But I love them, big, little, for people, for dolls...don't matter!!
ReplyDeleteThe lamps is so pretty and looks perfect where it's placed!
ReplyDeleteKim, the lamp is darling and has such fabulous details as you said. The dog is so right with the old books. I love it all. I almost bought a set of 1937 classics the other day but was in a hurry and let them go. hugs♥O
ReplyDeleteKim, your lamp is stunning. I love the colors and the pretty flowers. You definitely found a treasure. Your vignette is fabulous as usual. Your book collection is really growing and you find some of the greatest things. That dog is gorgeous. You can just send that along to me. lol Beautiful vignette. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteLovely lamp...and a great deal. My fetish is of course fabric. I just can't control myself sometimes! Anyway...great post as always.

Luv the new lamp Kim! Funny I just did a post on my lamp obsession! I think you did real good, I've seen lamps similar to yours in Pierre Deux for much more! Martina
ReplyDeleteCeekay and I have something in common....a chair fetish.
ReplyDeleteI think if I had seen that lamp and the price was out of my range I would have had to get a job just to be able to buy it! Its beautiful, I love the double pull chain and the scalloped edge. Ya did good!
Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteI'm always amazed at the way you put together such lovely accessories and vingettes. I love your new lamp and the table top looks perfect.
I have too many fettishes to list but one of them is of course, pillows. Also, benches, side chairs, little stools and little tables, plus more! LOL!
hugs

Kim, Love your lamp, great find! Hubby has always said I had a lamp fetish, I didn't think so until I started cleaning out for a possible move, I have to admit he is right.
ReplyDeleteSandy
Lovely lamp, Kim! I will admit to a lamp fetish. Which leads to a side table fetish so I have something to put those lamps on! : ) Love your vignette - I think you need a deerstalker or a Meersham {spelling?} pipe propped there, too.
ReplyDeleteSo elementary, dahling... I too have a lamp fetish. And I'm all over that one.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Very pretty Kim, you do have a way with things..Love it girl..Hugs and smiles Gloria
ReplyDeleteYou know I love lamps. I don't think that was too bad for that beauty. She is so unique. Enjoy
ReplyDeleteLove all the details on the beautiful lamp - delicate and "fun" for the eyes...I have a thang for little tables.
ReplyDeleteLovely lamp! You do such great things with the "Details"....
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Penny
According to Mr. Shadymont, I too have a lamp fetish. Which reminds me, I haven't "fed my fetish" recently. Need to do something about that! You found a gorgeous one there!
ReplyDeleteLovely vignette!
Kathy
That is perfectly gorgeously French Country Kim! Gorgeously is a word, right? LOL! I love the entire vignette and yes, I have a fetish...I have a serious thing for trays. Don't ask me why, I just love 'em! :-)
ReplyDeleteVanessa
That lamp is a great find, Kim. I love it. If I have a fetish, it is for silver. Okay, yes. I do have one for that.... ;)
ReplyDeleteOh that lamp is gorgeous! I love it. I, too, have a thing for lamps. (and dishes, and bedding too)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I do too! I love lamps and I love your newly found one, it is so pretty. I love everything about it, the colors and the shape and all. You created a lovely vignette, Kim. I have not seen you for eons!...Christine
ReplyDeleteThe lamp is GORG and the vignette is lovely! Thanks so much for the website re chandie...hope to get one next payday!! Sorry for the typos...I am driving.
ReplyDeleteLove that lamp!! The vignette turned out stunningly! I have a thing for dishes and lots of other things, but not lamps...well not yet anyway!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous lamp, Kim! I think lamps can make or break a room, and yours definitely adds a great touch to your beautiful vignette.
ReplyDeleteOh that tole lamp sooo belings in your home Kim!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
I have many fetishes.... collections, and things I love... to pick just one?
Ok.... old oil paintings.
That's my fetish!
Love your new vignette.

Love the lamp! Looks great.
ReplyDeleteI love lamps too! I wonder what it is about them that is so exciting. LOVE the detail on your new lamp. Gorgeous and so YOU! Beautiful vignette. I would give anything for a couple of those demijohns! XO, Pinky
ReplyDeletePS, does Mr. Savvy ever come home and think maybe he got the wrong house???:):):)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lamp and vignette Kim. I also have a thing for lamps, dishes, old silver, stemware, chairs, and the list goes on and on lol.
ReplyDeleteGreat find! I like the vignette.
ReplyDeleteI seem to have a current fetish for rusty metal and barn stars.
I have always loved lamps...and I have more of them than I know what to do with. The one you just found is very sweet though.
ReplyDeleteIt does have a Sherlock Holmes feeling to the whole thing there, Watson! xo Diana
What a beautiful lamp! And I love the vingette, it looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI have a chair problem, I cannot stop buying them and I am out of room!
Love the lamp! I have a milk glass fetish, so I understand!
ReplyDeleteThank you for such beautiful posts!

Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteI have a red and white transferware fetish - and a little bit of a Blue Willow fetish - then there's the linen fetish.....
That lamp is very french country. Great color. I'm sure putting together that lovely vignette was elementary to you. You make it look so effortless.
ReplyDeleteThe pull chains are my favorite part of this pretty lamp. Great find Kim.
ReplyDeleteLove the finial on it. I've never seen one like it either, and I do a lot of looking. I'm a lamp hoarder, too. My philosophy on it is, you just never know when you may need one, so I have a closet full waiting to make an appearance! Anyway, came by to tell you that the e-mail you sent me went into my spam and the domain was blocked (I had apparently blocked a spammer w/ a hotmail address, and my e-mail was blocking all 'hotmail' addresses, but I have corrected it.) If you would like to re-send it, I will respond, but I couldn't see what you wrote, so I didn't want you to think I was rude. Can't wait to see what you did with your hutch. Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteKnow what you're saying about the lamps! I've taken to stashing mine in my daughter's attic as I've so many in my own. Shhhh don't tell my husband!
ReplyDeleteHugs~
Kim that is my kind of lamp. I love it.It is gorgeous.You found the perfect spot for it.
ReplyDeleteKathy
Kim,
ReplyDeleteYour new lamp is gorgeous! I've never seen one like that either. Love your new vignette!
Love it, love the old books. Wish I could make such cool discoveries.
ReplyDeleteKim, love the lamp. Your vignette is right out of a magazine. Love it.........

I love lamps, too. I seem to be collecting me lately! Always room for one more.
ReplyDeleteI must be on the look out for the Dickens book, that's our last name!
Love the new look on the chest! How fun to find a new thing and it changes everything else!
XOXO
Love it Kim! You are a vignette Queen! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Yep, good find...and looks lovely in your entry. I am an admitted lampaholic. Missed last night's meeting. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful Kim and I don't think the price was bad at all! Goes so well with the items you put together!
ReplyDeleteGreat find, Kim. Both lamps and chairs tend to find their way to our home. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI just learned that the Pierre Deux Stores are closing. So sad! Have you been to the one in Atlanta? Big sales going on. ~ Sarah
Ahhhhmazing vignette!
ReplyDeleteMy fetish is Chairs...I Love them all!
Such a pretty lamp and your entrance is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteXO
Kristin
Sooo beautiful Kim! That is a wonderful find!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really cute lamp Kim. I like your new look on this entry table. I love the books you find. No good dealers here. My fetish would probably be transferware. Oh, I really like a lot of things, shells, old books, and fabric too.
ReplyDeleteSherry
Love love the lamp! Nina and I bought 2 sets of tole lamps - one yellow pair reminds me of this one... I really love this shape and it's perfect in that spot!
ReplyDeleteCheck out Nina's inspired home up today! You'll see the yellow tole lamps in her master bedroom!

Love the new lamp, so pretty! I snapped up some vintage pictures and dishes last week, love the hunt. If you get a chance please stop and visit our fiestaware posts. Thanks, Mom From Cottage and Broome
ReplyDeleteLamp fetish, glad you finally put a name to my obsession! I absolutely think they are part of the jewelry in a room, and we all love the bling! Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous...it's almost ready for fall, maybe a few silk leaves spread on the top will bring it into the fall. Donna
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that lamp. If I saw it in a store, I would sell Mr. Sweet and throw in a grandchild, just to buy it. :)
ReplyDeleteIt really does looks super good there on your chest..
ooh......love the detail Kim!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat vignette! I love it! Vanna
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to the party!
