As much as I love to paint, I also have a little side hobby I enjoy. My son and daughter-in-law have joined me in a little side business, making lamps and wall clocks from vintage dinnerware.
For me, the attraction is the thrill of the hunt. I visit estate sales and vintage stores, looking for the perfect pieces of vintage dinnerware.
My daughter in law assembles the pieces into beautiful lamps. My son drills out the assembled pieces and adds brand new electrical components.
Viola! a fun and unique lamp. The lamp travels back to my house for photography and storage until that special person purchases it. Then I wrap it carefully in bubble wrap and stryofoam to ship to your home.
I find many of my teapots in North Carolina, during my visits there. I had to have this leopard print teapot!
and this cute little black and yellow polk a dot piece.
These are just a few of our lamps. We also do commissioned lamps, using colors you request, or even your own special dinnerware.....maybe that special plate or cup from your grandmother.

Wouldn't these be cute in a child's room? They are made with commenorative plates.
Thank you for viewing my blog today. Next post, we will be back to art....I promise!
