Ornament shopping, and coming home with a lamp.

Hello chickies.
I went shopping for Christmas ornaments this afternoon, and came home with a lamp.
The last thing I needed was another lamp...but when I saw this ticking shade(you can't even tell it's ticking, can you), I fell in love. I also love the shape of the shade.

Most of the other pieces I have are white, but it seems I'm gradually bringing in a burlap color to decorate with.
The last lamp I bought has a burlap shade, which I REALLY like.

 The color, and the ticking match my newest pillows, which are burlap and ticking, of course.

I also love the fact that the base is actually a magazine rack.

I DID find some mercury glass balls to decorate with for the holidays..but that's for another post.
I was pleasantly surprised to find some mercury glass acorns today...they look great on the white tree(one of many we have here at the lakehouse.)
Soooo...that's my new lamp.  I think I'll go and turn it on, and sit on the sofa and look at it for awhile.
Hhhhhmmmmm.....
See ya!

  1. That is totally something that I would do...and I love the lamp/magazine rack. And funny enough - I am loving burlap right now and have been working it in as best I can into my house.

  2. Hey~ it's cute & looks like a perfect spot to chill with a Jeanne d' Arc. :) It's a nice wide-shaped shade. We must both have lamps on the mind because I just posted about my new one. ;)

  3. I would buy that lamp too! It's so pretty and I love that it's a magazine rack. I see you have displayed the pretty Denmark mag. Love it!

    Can't wait to see your mercury glass. I have a serious love with it.

  8. Debbie- Just wanted to thank you for all your nice comments while we have been decorating! I love this lamp- and the shade. I have a thing for shapes and I really am drawn to the bell shape with a twist.
    Pillow ticking is so cool!
    I love the way you decorate with only whites- and a hint of burlap. I do not have the discipline. I wish I did.
    Hugs- Tete

  10. What a delightful find. I like burlap and the white combo. Still light and gives a nice touch too. One of my granddaughters and I made little acorn ornaments and gave them to everyone at Thanksgiving. They are symbol of good fortune and it is recommended you hang them on your Christmas tree or even carry one in your pocket. I did a little on line research to find out this is a German custom and I wanted to share that with my family as there are some German ancestors in our family tree.
