My Love Affair With The Lamp

I'm not quite sure exactly when my love affair with lamps began, but

I know that it has been a very long and lasting relationship.  Every lamp

I have ever loved has possessed a distinct one of a kind personality.

I have lots and lots of lamps.  David loves to tease me about how

many we have, but I can't seem to help myself when I see one that

I think is unique and adds an extra bit of charm to a room.  

In our family room, den, great room, or whatever you choose to call

it, I have lots of lamps that are designed to give the room the old 

English country house look.  There are lots of corners to grab a book

and curl up by the soft glow of an old lamp.

There are lamps that give warmth to nooks and crannies.

A lamp that shines over the shoulder unto the Wall Street Journal

or a good book, or to complete the crossword puzzle.

A lamp that lights up a table between two easy chairs.

Of course there is a bit of an equestrian theme going on here too.

And here.

And here ....

And here too.  

So that's our room with lamps aglow.  It's cloudy out today, so we

really need the extra light.

Before it begins to rain (always a possibility) I am going to head out

to the garden to pot some flowers to attract and feed the hummingbirds.

Until next time!

The Scoop

Bentley ~ it's your job this afternoon to chase away the squirrels

from the feeder so that the birds can eat too.  I know Bentley will

gladly accept the job.

Big Texas Hugs,

Susan and Bentley
