Lamp Baubles...


Is there anything that you "do" that you don't even realize?  The other day a friend was over and she noticed my little lamp baubles...and she was "smitten".  I guess I was surprised...I guess I never really thought they were a big deal.  Kind of like putting on my earrings after I fix my hair, you know?  It's something I do.  It hadn't occured to me to post about it...but then I looked around my house and noticed quite a few of my lamps and fixtures have their "accessories" on...so I decided to share them with you...


These were the ones my friend Shannon really loved.  Just some assorted trinkets hanging over the shade on an S hook...


You might remember these little junk goodies from my FUSSY CHRISTMAS MANTEL garland...anybody know what they are???  I have no idea, I just thought they were cool...rust, numbers, perfectly "aged".  What's not to love :)


Another one...love a little sparkle too.


And then there's this one...can you tell what that is?


An egg yolk separater and a little twine...


...and there you go.  This naked lampshade got a little more "modest".


Or how about a little seam binding and a couple of birdies?


And you are probably sick and tired of this blingy fixture by my front door.
(If not, you can see the rest of the post HERE :)


But have you seen my "P'd" fixture in the stairway?


And then I noticed this sad little fruit basket fixture in my kitchen...no accessories...can you believe it?


A quick couple of flash cards will fix that...for now :)

So there you have it...my little lamp decorating "fixation"...that I didn't even know I had.  How about you?  Any little decorating "obsession" that you want to share with the group?  It's OK...we're all friends here ;)

    I don't know what those number things are but they are great! Love all your "earrings" on everything.

    Blessings,

    I love all your lights and baubles, but especially your burlap and baubles.

    I just can't believe how much stuff is out here in blogland to enhance our homes. I think you may have cow tags and if not cow tags some type of animal tag. I think!

    and the ribbon wrapped burlap with little tiny clothes pins and birdies... cute!

    Soooo creative. I'm a different kind of blogger. My posts are mostly stories right now, but I do manage a shop and love to junk. You will find a few things if you visit. I am new at this and hope you will follow me and offer some suggestions.

    Cute accessories. The numbered tags look like vintage cow tags. Love 'em.

    I love all the extras on your lamps, so cute. And I agree with some of the others, your numbered tags are most likely ear tags from cows. My hubby used to be a cowboy on a cattle ranch and those look mighty familiar.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting on my Edison lamp.
