This Little Light of Mine...

Happy New Year everyone! I just wanted to share a few pics with you of some of my recent finds! I have been looking to find more "prim" lamps for my home, but am on an Extreme Budget, so......you know how that goes! I love to see all of your black tinware(?) lamps....I WANT one..or two or three!!!!! Anyway, I found these lamps around Christmas with some of the money that my Mother in Law gave us for Christmas. I really like both of the looks, but finding affordable shades to go with them is proving to be the problem!

I just LOVED this lamp....$4.14 is all I had to put for this one.... I SNATCHED it right up!!!  It i a gold/mustard kind of color, and I am toying with the possibility of spray painting it flat black....what do you think???  I kind of like the mustard color too...hmm..what to do.....I had the shade already...haven't found anything else I could afford  :D

What do you think of this little 'firkin' lamp?  Isn't it cute?  I found it at Katydids Antiques...the little Antique Shop that I have my booth in...LOVED it!!!!  Not so happy with the shade again, but am looking! 

I am counting my blessings in the New Year.  We saw the movie The Blind Side yesterday and it remided me...  We have so MUCH to be Thankful for...our warm home and a each other to share it with....clothes, family, friends, hopes for the future....have you ever thought of that?  Most of us actually HAVE hopes of the future because most of us have what we need in the NOW>>>     There are those out there that don't have that luxury...they are hoping for a warm meal,someone to talk to, somewhere to sleep, something to sleep in...clothes, etc.....

I am trying to mindful of this as I move into 2010....maybe we ALL should  :D

oh, yes!  I almost forgot to share this little lamp that my DH surprised me with for Christmas!!!!!  It is simply Scrumdilyprimilicious!!!
