This trip my sister brought 3 lamps she purchased at auction. I also found one at our antique store in town. The first picture is a Fenton milk glass lamp in a Poppy pattern with a marble base. I found this at our local store and it sits on my sister's bedroom vanity. The second lamp is one my sister found at auction. Seems to be older as it's converted. Pretty pink satin glass with hand painted birds and flowers on a Eastlake style brass base. This one is on a small side table in the dining room. The beautiful spatter glass lamp seems to be a marriage as the ruby red quilted satin glass shade while it works somehow doesn't seem to be the original. Also I think the crystals were added too. Still a beauty when lit and it sits on a table next to the living room sofa. The last picture is a 30" Fenton lamp. I'm on the fence about this one and I'm not a fan of yellow anything. The shade just seems too much with the floral painted base. We haven't found a place for this one. Maybe the upstairs hall once the painting and the half bath are done. -Mike-
Good to see you back and looking forward to more stories and pictures of renovation.
Thanks sklo42 it's good to be back. Last year was crazy with working on the house and then losing Mitzi just before Christmas.
Super cool Mike, these are all fascinating and beautiful. Nice to see the reno is going well and hope you and sis continue planning it so well.
Thanks Phil...I really loved having her here enjoying the house as it is so far, but the week just flew by. Next visit probably not until June or July.
