I’m joining Nester’s Lampalooza Party at
Here’s an old lamp that I’ve had for years. It was made by my grandfather. The little spinning wheel turns when the peddle is pushed up and down just like a real spinning wheel! He made two of these lamps. I’m so glad that I have this one!
I wonder if grandpa used this pattern when he made the lamp?
I think mine needs a new shade. Or maybe I’ll cover the shade that I have? Something like this might look pretty?

Now for my “new” lamp! I found it on the back of a shelf at the Habitat Store here in Birmingham!
It was $1.00 and it works too! Reminds me of a Hobbit House. Isn’t it cute?!
Look at all of the darling little details!

Should I paint it to brighten up the colors? What kind of shade should I use? I love it! Love the mushroom roof, the little chimney, the windows and the little steps leading up to the front and back doors! I have no idea where it came from but I am so glad I found it! I’ve never seen anything like this, have you?
Hope you enjoyed my little lamps. Don’t forget to check out all of the other posts too!
Blessings, Kathi
That lamp reminds me of the smurfs! But it's cuter than smurfs. How sweet would that be in a girls room?!
ReplyDeleteYou have some great lamps. Love the history of the spinning wheel lamp. My father does a lot of woodworking and I love the idea that it is made with his hands.
ReplyDeleteHow special to have a lamp made by your grandfather!!!
