cottage whimsy...

Waaay back in September, I shared with you some of my dried hydrangeas.
In that post I mentioned that I was looking for a different lamp for this space...


I wanted a more cottagey looking lamp instead of this french looking one...


Well, guess what I bought at the shop with the money I saved from not buying the knives at the shop?
(That story was my last post.)
You guessed it...




I have been admiring it in Patricia's booth for weeks...



Love the cottage style with a touch of whimsy...



I think it looks so much better...



Don't you?

Joining Common Ground for Vintage Inspiration Friday.

    I sure do. Is that milk glass? It looks so much warmer and so charming sitting there on those awesome drawers.
