    One day while scouring a local thrift shop in pursuit
    of some nice clothing for a man in need from our
    church, I found this wonderful half-doll lamp.

    Needless to say, I quickly grabbed it and took
    it to the counter to pay for it. There were
    several other customers at the counter, and
    they were all looking at me like I was crazy for
    buying the lamp. Little did they know!

    My intent was to use it on my "tea porch" on
    the front of our home, but the color was too
    bright. I was so disapointed until I realized that
    she would be wonderful in our bedroom.

    I don't know much about collectibles, I just know
    what I love and what works with my other decor.
    My belief is that the lamp is probably from the
    early 50's.

    Several of my friends, fellow junque lovers, have
    threatened to sneak in while I am not home and
    take her home with them.

    It is still hard for me to believe that I found such
    a lovely lamp in such pristine condition. The Lord is
    good.......seems that each time I go out looking to
    find something for someone else, He allows these
    old eyes of mine to find a treasure for me as well.
