Milk Glass Table Lamps

I fell in love with the pair of these adorable little hobnail milk glass lamps the second I laid eyes on them. They don’t get any cuter than this!

Just look at the “crown” above the heavily skirted shades.  Both shades of each of the milk glass table lamps still retain their perfect organza bows.

When you stop by to visit us, be sure to check them out. I’ve got them upstairs in  in the “boudouir” room at Hourglass Cottage Antiques.

Gives it the perfect touch. Circa 1950′s.

Turned Walnut Wooden Lamp

One of my favorite things about this wonderful walnut, turned wood lamp base with this fringed shade is it’s versatility.

You can dress this lamp up in less than 2 minutes by simply changing the shade out for another one in a different style or color.

The neutral tone of the wood goes with just about anything. Try a more formal look for this lamp with a 5 or 6 paneled silk shade in a cream or maybe a rich cranberry color. Hang a tassle over the side for a nice custom touch.

Lemonade Jar

This beautiful pink Lemonade jar only remained in the Hourglass Cottage shop for a little over a day. Don’t you just love it? I know I did.

But why am a sharing a photo of a lemonade jar we don’t have any more? For two reasons.

• Mainly because the jar is just so uniquely beautiful, I thought you’d like to see it.
• Secondly, it just goes to show how quickly a unique treasure is snatched up and taken home to be lovingly displayed.

I love treasure hunting for beautiful home accessories that command attention. It’s fun to share our finds with customers.

UPDATE: This piece sold within hours of being showcased in our shop.
