It's time for Tuesday's Treasures! My treasured item this first TT is this big ugly lamp (as Jessie calls it!) This purple lamp was a wedding gift to my Grandmother and I took it from her estate when she passed. No one else wanted it. (I can hear Jessie snickering as she reads this.) My grandmother & I were not particularly close but I have fond memories of her. We shared a passion for the color purple and I love Lily of the Valley because they grew in her garden. The treasured lamp hangs in my bedroom. It casts spotted light and shadows at night when lit. Big. And purple. I love it.
To participate in Tuesday's Treasures visit our host at Clare's Craftroom.
Thank you for visiting my blog today!xox
Ha! You think that's ugly?! You should see one my mom has thats similar in texture and shape, but it is the color of....well, brownish/yellowish/orange...hideous!!! LOL! I love this!!! I think it is beautiful, I think those old pieces should be cherished as they remind us of special people. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI like it too! I'm sure your grandmother would be happy that someone was enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I think it's very pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteI actually think it's kind of cool!
ReplyDeleteThe lamp is gorgeous. I should show some of the things that I have kept just because they belonged to my Mum.
ReplyDeleteIt is a gorgeous treasure ! Thanks so much for playing along !
ReplyDeleteI like it and it's purple! It's nice to have something from your grandmother.
ReplyDeleteIt's charming in it's own way. You know that everything comes around full circle, so I think that the lamp is having it's second wind. It's very pretty.
ReplyDeleteBeauty is in the eye....I really love that lamp. It is indeed a treasure.
ReplyDeleteAs a fellow purple lover I think it's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteUgh; my grandmother had one of those in her house (it was there when she moved in circa 1975, only it was "gold"). I'm gonna have to go with your DD--It is ugly; or rather "they" are. Dear Grandmother had no love for hers, either! I don't like "colored" light, either. :P
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice keepsake of her, though, and awesome that it's also your favorite color! Thanks for sharing your treasure!
Well I have to be honest and say that purple isn't my favorite color but the lamp isn't so bad! I'll bet it's really pretty when lit.
ReplyDeleteOne of my gramma's had a horrid olive green version and the other had a brownish-gold one! I think purple is MUCH better... *GRIN*
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE it! I think it is awesome :-) and so nice to have your memories of your grandmother attatched to it too
