It was love at first sight the first time I spotted an antique alabaster lamp! Their hand carved beauty gets me every time!

What do you collect? I would love to hear!

  1. I have 1 which is similar to your middle one in your top photo. The silk grey shade brings out the subtle colors in my lamp

    1. I got floral shades for two of my lamps, but I’m not really digging the floral. I am definitely going to try gray now!! Thank you so much!!!

  3. This post is perfect. I love to collect vintage pottery, Fiesta Ware, frogs, thermoses, chairs and linens. I have a storage locker to store out of season items. I walk a fine line between collecting and hording. So glad I found this beautiful post on the link party. Happy Summer, Kippi

  5. I fell in love with these lamps years ago, when Rachel Ashwell first introduced them on her Shabby Chic tv show….but whenever I saw one for sale, they were just too pricey. Then early one day at a flea market, a young girl was selling off all of her grandmas stuff….she had one of these, a larger size one, the alabaster in beautiful condition…no shade, but it had its original finial….and it needed to be rewired. I asked the price – $5!!! I carried it around for the rest of the day, lost count of how many shoppers asked me where I got it. Cost me $30 to get it rewired. One of my best finds ever at a flea market.

    1. Sounds like an amazing find!! I would love to see it! Alabaster lamps are so beautiful!!
