Vintage Ceramic Stoneware Whimsical Castle and Dragons.

I love the whimsy of the figurines in this piece. A charming night light shaped like a castle with its tower spires and complete with two friendly dragons and maiden and her suitor or perhaps a prince and princess. Marked on the bottom M. Hagenson 1992. Enjoy!
This special piece is listed in my Etsy store here.

 This was taken with the room light off and a flash so you can see where the night light shines behind the maiden/princess in the window.












  The only damage I could see was the tail tip had been broken off at one time.

Vintage Accents - Lamps, curtains and clock

We have a growing collection of unique lamps and other vintage treasures that adorn our shop and make it part museum and part store. It is fun to see the vast variety in teapots, lamps and clocks. Here are a few pieces we our enjoying. 

 Such a fun lamp! Love the little lantern look. It has a regular sized socket in it though you could put a low wattage bulb in so it serves as a soft accent light. I love that feature in many vintage lamps that have a soft night light that lights the globe or glass accents.


 Picked up this fun clip on lamp shade and found it a home on this little lamp.
 Great vintage curtain panels from an estate. Found their way into my little hideaway room at the shop.



 And what a fun clock! It runs so quiet and has a wonderful presence!

 Do you remember pole lamps? Oh yeah!

Antique Dietz Driving Lamp

This interesting rusty lamp left our shop today. It's the only one we had so kind of hate to see it go but went to a good home!

Getting out my trusty magnifying glass helped me identify it as a Dietz Driving Lamp. And researching indicates its from the early 1900s. Glad I snapped a few shots!

You Light Up My Life

Somewhere along the way of putting together our vintage store my husband and I found ourselves drawn to a wide variety of lamps from many eras. Ranging in age from the late 1800s to the 1980s we enjoy the diversity of styles. Some have a timeless, classic feel and others transport you to another time and place. I will try to share them here so you can enjoy a virtual tour of our growing collection!
