THE CUTEST COTTAGE LAMPS, ETC.

Thursday, January 20, 2011

I don't know about you, but I am ready for spring! I'd love to get to my garden and fluff it up!!! What a long winter! This winter we have had the most snow since we moved here, almost 7 years ago. It's been cold, snowy, rainy, icy, then snowy again! But the sun is out today and all is pretty. Didn't God make a beautiful place for us to live? The whole earth is so beautiful and there is so much to see and appreciate! We just got back from a visit with our friends on Whidbey Island, Washington. You have to take the ferry to get there, so here are some pictures! Whidbey Island looks alot like Vermont, except that they have the green trees all year long, and not as many orange ones!

I took this picture from our truck of Mt. Hood in Oregon on our way there.

As one ferry is going west, another is going east!

Getting ready to unload in Clinton.

And below is a photo of a vintage kitchen gadget that we don't know what it is! Anybody out there in bloggerland, have an idea?

Fran's unique gadget! It comes apart and all the parts are numbered with UH 1 or UH 2 or UH3.

All the parts come off; and something would have to be pretty thin to go through the rollers!

Well, better go now; get dinner going! You all have a wonderful week! And a wonderful Valentine's Day! (At the rate I'm going, it will probably be Valentines Day before I get to another posting!)

Meggie said...: Debbie doesn't know what the gadget is, now I've asked my ever knowing librarian friends. Perhaps I'll ask my 90+ year old friends...; February 2, 2011 at 7:32 PM

My grandfather had one..but it was flatter..sat on a table.
Interesting...
I'm not 90, but 74 is up there. :)

WELCOME TO THE CUTEST COTTAGE LAMPS!

Hi, my name is Marilyn and I make and sell lamps, lamp shades and also I paint and fire reproduction half dolls to make into finials for your lampshades. My favorite style is a "cottage or shabby" look; although I have done plain white or even hawaiian, mission, or other styles. Each is a one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted by me (nothing done by little hands in China, where they make thousands of the same things, so that everybody has the same one you do!) No - not here! Nobody will have a lamp like yours! All my lamps and shades are completed both outside and inside, with the finest quality materials; and great care taken in making them. I usually use old frames, vintage lamp bases, vintage materials and embellishments. Please email me if you are interested in any of the lamps or shades you see below or if you would like something specific. I also have other lamps not pictured. And, I would appreciate any comments or suggestions! My email address is: RMBROGG@msn.com Thank you for stopping by to see me today!
