Purple transferware lamp and Salvation Army finds

 A sweet purple transferware sugar bowl made into a lamp!
I found it on Etsy, and it is just darling. I had the lampshade so that was magic~
it arrived the same day another transferware treasure from Etsy came.
This mulberry platter just might be my most favorite of all!
Mr. Maison Decor knocked one of my collection off of the wall.
Well it was actually the second one he knocked off the wall and smashed.
 sniff*sniff
Maybe I will ask Penny, of Comforts of Home,
 how to make something like the things she makes.
I have a box filled with my favorite broken dishes.
~~The Empty Spot~~
So it was time to get a replacement, 
but now I am too afraid to put it on the wall,
so I set it by the sink and put the lamp on the other side.
It looks nice with my fading purple rose~
I know, I know...
too much of two many things going on here...
so they will be moving.
But for now I can admire as I load the dishwasher.
These were in the mailbox today when I came home
 from an all too rare trip to Salvation Army.
I had my 9 year old step son in tow, 
and he really made out this time!
A complete drum set is now his!
 Scott is on cloud nine~he takes drum at band practice.
Have I lost my mind?
 This may be one purchase I will totally regret!!
 I was able to score two "Debro The Original" beach chairs. 
These chairs are my absolute favorite beach chair.

A classic chair and the most comfortable one I have ever sat in.
 I also use them at Scott's outdoor games. 
I only had one in hot pink~
so I was more than happy to buy these for our lake trip.
The other really cool thing I found was a 
pair of lucite lamps with fabric drum shades in turquoise polka dots.
These lamps make me think of Nita at Mod Vintage Life.
I am going to plan something mod with them for her new party
Mod Mix Monday.
 So you will see these next Monday, 
with Maison Decor going Mod!

  1. Your transferware is gorgeous. Love the lamp and the platter, both are stunning. Great find on the chairs also. I laughed at the drum set. I remember my daughter going through that stage and just giggled. Hugs, Marty

  2. Beautiful pieces, that's so sad your pretty plates got broken, but it would be pretty if you had them made into a pretty mosaic design.That is a great drum set, the kids gotta practice right? if it gets too bad ...earplugs LOL.

  3. Oh my gosh, I love that transferware lamp, Amy! I know about hubby's breaking things ~ I'll bet it would make for a great mosaic something or other though. The purple and white is so pretty, too.

  5. Wow! Lots of good stuff. First, love that lamp! Perfect. But I think your new transferware might be in even more peril sitting on the counter near where he might wash his hands! I think you are insane to get the drum set but I'm happy for Scott. A boy needs to be able to express himself. Yes, I love those lucite lamps. I would have grabbed those myself to use in my bedroom. Great finds!

  14. OK, the first thing to cross my mind was, do the drums stay at your house or can they go to his Mom's???? I love transferware, I don't think I have seen many in lavender...love it!

  22. Ok, that mulberry platter is my favorite of all your plates, what a perfect color, and the photo together with the faded purple rose should be in a magazine.

    And oh my god, your stepson must have been blown away by the drum set, it's so nice that you and he can have such a loving supportive relationship, and i know you were tickled to death to surprise him like that.
