Ah, there was singing and dancing and happiness at The Love Nest this past week. Why, you ask?

You remember The Tragedy of the Milk Glass Lamp, right? Where I knocked over the lamp and broke the lamp shade? Tragedy, I tell you!
Then my subsequent hunt for a replacement shade and I settled on this one, shown above.
Imagine my joy and surprise (and a bit of hugging SuperGuy and clapping my hands and a bit of jig in the middle of the Antique store)…I found this!!

Yep, I found another lamp! The milk glass part of it matches my old lamp, but the stand is a bit different.

So now I have two lamps, if I want. Or I can put the top of the new lamp onto the old base (’cause I like the old base better) Ah, life is good, I’m telling you!! Color me happy.
(Found at The Brass Armadillo out of Kansas City. (Grain Valley) Huge antique mall, but very hard to find!)

Arranging a bowl of flowers in the morning can give a sense of quiet in a crowded day – like writing a poem or saying a prayer.

I’ve become quite taken with old Mason Jars. I love them for vases, candle holders…well, just about anything. I love the perfect shade of blue they are. I bought a whole boxful to use for candles outside in the courtyard…you know, if the sun ever shines again.
Not that I’m not addicted to other vases too…like milk glass, you know. But Mason Jars just really appeal to my sense of…I don’t know…my sense of blue??
Enjoy your weekend, my friends. Hope you have some sunshine in your days.

After a whirlwind of decluttering and having a bunch of stuff hauled off…we decided to reward ourselves with a day of Antiquing.

Went back to one of our favorite Antique Malls.
The Pink Elephant Antique Mall on interstate 55 in Illinois. Such fun.
We had to have a Twistee Treat this trip…because it was open and selling ice cream. (SuperGuy slunk off and ate most of the ice cream cone while I was photographing…he doesn’t share well with others!)
I got some cute photography propos while we were browsing.
Another old camera. This one I’m going to use for through the lens photography where you shoot through the old camera with your new camera. Can’t wait to experiment.
..and this mint green rotary phone that I just had. to. have. Not sure why…but I picture it in a future photo shoot…
