~THEY LIGHT UP OUR LIVES~


All of you who sent me such warm get well wishes...from the bottom of my heart, thank you! I couldn't believe such warmth and kindness could be sent to me from people I have never met personally! I am so touched and grateful!

When I arrived home from the hospital, this was waiting for me to open! The sweetest little lamp ever. I want to thank Penny at THE COMFORTS OF HOME/LAVENDAR HILL STUDIO for this lovely cottage creation. Lighting has always been a big thing with me and lamps are a passion of mine. I think most of you will understand. I have 22 of them in this little cottage of mine and I love all of them.

I love this lamp! I saw the one that Penny had made for another customer, and fell in love with it! Unfortunately you can't see the tiny rose buds that are on top of the tea pot.
If you enlarge the photo you can see them around the rose.


Look at the precious custom made shade. Is that not adorable? I am delighted with this little accent lamp! And you KNOW me and roses...


this is just a closer view of the lamp base. This lamp is something I will always have. I have a feeling it will survive in our family for years to come. Thank you, Penny! Thank you for all the wonderful custom work you have done for me!

I am doing better today and I have no doubts I will, with all the wonderful prayers and get well wishes that have been sent to me, be back on my feet in no time at all!
My heart felt thanks and love to all of you! I am one lucky woman!

I am anxious to catch up on all you have been doing since I have been gone. Starting tomorrow I am going to try and start doing some catching up if I can.

~Smiles and love~

  10. What a beautiful lamp -- this sort of art always reminds me that God can take our broken pieces and make a new creation of it -- never quite the same - but still of great beauty and joy. What a beautiful rose lamp. Hope that you are healing well.
