PRETTY PINK LAMPS


  
I have a pair of these pretty pink lamps,....I think they are called Fenton thumbprint lamps...They belonged to my mom, she passed away a few years ago and they came to me..  I can remember these lamps were always on her fireplace mantle, one on each end... When you turn them on ...wow...everyone looks so pretty in pink light..it makes you want to create a whole room in pink...
 The cream colored eyelet napkins are from Pier 1 and are about a year old, I love to pair them up with with bright colors...
 I love to use the faux food in the tablescapes, especially the chocolate dipped berries...
 So sweet the little Valentine plates...
I need to have the lamps rewired at the lamp store, there should be a light that goes on in the middle globe, just not sure how to make that turn on...I am afraid of breaking the glass, so I think I will let the lamp man take care of that....until then I thought they would be perfect for a little Valentine fun....
Of course if you are a follower of this blog you remember the coffee tea set....it is so fun to use in the photos...I mean really, what doesn't look good with silver...in some of the pictures I changed the smaller plates with some sweet heart plates, seems everything goes with pink and red...

The pretty red stem glasses are Lenox , the napkins are the only thing I purchased new this year...loved the little heart checks...they were at TJMaxx..
I love the little Valentine plates, so sweet...I saw them I think last year on Betweennapsontheporch.net, Susan's friend Marie had them at her house and I just adored them...I found them on Ebay for 2.25 each, what a deal, when I first looked it was 4 plates for 40.00...but after Valentines Day, there they were, what a deal...sure does remind you of the Valentine card exchange at school, what ever happened to that....
wow, now that is a closeup...
The chargers are from the Maryland Company...purchased about 2 years ago...
The lamp glass does look like big thumbprints, don't you think?  Such a clever name...I know the lamp design doesn't quite go with the decor in my house, but they sure fun on this Valentine's Day...I may just bring them out more often...
I know it is still light out but I couldn't wait to take some pictures of the table with the lamps on and off...I have never been good at evening pictures, you know it always looks like someone turned off the lights...I do need to turn the Pretty Pink Lamps..
I think sometime I might just take the top globes off and use them as covers for votive candles on an intimate little romantic tablescape, wow wouldn't that be a glowing pink table....
Thank you to Marie and Susan for the great inspiration of the Valentine Card plates...
I have used that faux strawberry cake in so many posts...it has held up over the years......

Thank you for stopping by, please leave a comment, I love to see them and I read them all...If you have any questions please feel free to ask and I will answer...as always I hope this tablescape has inspired you to make a little romantic table for your Valentines....
