There is a Marshall's right behind the company I work for which is why it seems I'm always buying things from Marshalls. I went there last Wednesday on my lunch hour with one of my coworkers and didn't find anything (which is a good thing because I'm running out of room in my little place). Then last Friday I went with another coworker because I didn't have anything better to do at lunch. I really didn't expect to find this "perfect for me" lamp! A lamp is something I don't need! I have a lamp addiction. I have so many that I have lamps I'm not using in the closet! But how could I resist birds and toile! I couldn't because it was only $29.
I have it in my kitchen for now but I'm sure it will be moved around to different locations because that's what I usually do. There's even a little bird on top!
I also found this cute little bunny to hold Easter candy. He was marked down to $5.

The lamp and bunny is adorable. Perfect for your little home. xoRachel
At the price they are asking for lamps these days, you got a steal of a deal on this little beauty! It is SO you! Mr. Rabbit is pretty cute too. (I think I'm overdue for a trip to Marshall's! LOL!)
I too have a lamp addiction, Cindy! LOVE the lamp. I also have no where to put them all. I have learned I also have a bird addiction, a cherub addiction and a vase and purse addiction. Is there a cure? lol.
Love the lamp. How can you go wrong with toile?? Marshalls is on my todo list today and hopefully I will find a couple of treasures as well :0)
Like always great finds and great prices. The bunny is adorable.

I was just at my Marshall's on Friday and if they would have had one it would have been mine, too! Just lovely :-) Rosie
I couldn't resist that lamp either I bought the same lamp at Home Goods not to long ago. Mine is black with black paisley print. They are adorable.

I am SO glad to see someone else with lamp addiction. But there really are just too many good vintage style lamps not to bring them home. And you can always use a little more light, right? It prevents eyestrain. So it's, um, a medical necessity. :) (Just trying to help you justify the addiction among my fellow lamp addicts.)
Tooooo cute especially your bunny!

The lamp is very pretty. The bunny, however, is holding my very favorite candy in the whole world. I start looking for those right after Valentine's. Cadbury mini-eggs- yum.
You were obviously meant to go into Marsahalls that day.
A lamp just made for you and a sweet bunny - fabulous

Love Marshalls! I would be in BIG trouble if there was one close enough for me to visit during my lunch hour!
Cindy, The lamp is adorable and I almost bought that same bunny in pink.
Hugs,
LeAnn :)
Well, of course, you couldn't resist! It's beautiful, and perfect for your romantic home. Love the bunny, too.
Have a wonderful Easter!

Hi Cindy:
I love lamps too. Great find, as usual....toile is so YOU!
Debbie Kay
Well darn. I went to the library today. No Romantic Cottage. Then I went to the supermarket. No Romantic Cottage. I have one more place to try. Please keep your fingers crossed.

Love the lamp. I'm pretty addicted to Marshall's too.
Well of course you had to buy the lamp! What you should have left it alone there and then think about it day after day. You totally did the right thing, and saved yourself a lot of stress and tension! Enjoy the lamp!!!
Great lamp, and how could you pass up that bunny? Wish I had a Marshall's close. Wait. No, I don't. I'd have even more stuff than I do now!
*and another vote YAY for the Cadbury eggs!*
Oh Cindy,
That lamp is perfect for you. It just had to be beckoning for you to come and take a closer look. I would have bought it too. You have so many places you can put it, because your kitchen, bedroom, and living room, all have blue. Have fun moving it around, and enjoy! Great price too!
I couldn't have resisted either :) I love that lamp! At least lamps are usually small and you don't have a chair addiction like I do... yikes!
Rue :)
I would like one of those lamps. I wonder if they have them at my store. I'll check tomorrow.
Mama Bear
Oh my gosh, I LOVE that lamp! I have the same lamp addiction that you do. How funny, I thought I was the only one! My husband walks into a room and always asks the same question - "Why are there so many lamps on in this room?" What can I say? - I love lamps!
I got my issue of Romantic Country today - YIPPEE!! I'm going to settle in this evening with a cup of tea and read that article featuring you! Congratulations again!
Have a great week.
Hugs,
Erin
Oh the lamp is so adorable. I wouldn't have been able to resist it either. And I love the bunny too. :)
I am hyperventilating over that lamp!!! Marshall's closeby - I'm going there tomorrow!!!!
I love your blog and although I don't always comment, I am so inspired by what you have done to your beautiful cottage!
Cindy, I would have bought them too!!
I picked up and paid for the mag. and when I got home found it was an earlier issue!! I'm going back tomorrow to look for 'your issue'!!
Hugs - Mary.
Blue toile and birds? I don't think I could have resisted either! When I was a little girl, my Godfather owned a lamp shop in Stonestown (yes, the mall is SF). I used to wander through the shop and pick the lamps I loved and the lamps I didn't like at all. To this day, I have a thing for lamps. So it was fun to read that you have more lamps than you need. I have blue toile in my home, too. Who could resist that charming buy?! ~ Arleen
Very cute - matches your home.

Cindy, I left you a comment on Happy Nesting!
Lots of hugs,

I love, love the lamp and I have to have one. That looks to be my bathroom wallpaper! And I have an addiction as to all things birdy. Great buy!
Thats adorable!! I LOVE Marshall's!
What a perfect lamp! I'd grab it, too, if I saw it. You could hardly leave it there. And that little bunny is just C-U-T-E! ~Adrienne~
I'm glad you didn't resist this adorable lamp! It fits in perfectly with your charming decor.
What a puuuuuuuurfect lamp!
Mari-Nanci
The lamp is gorgeous and the bunny is too cute! Geat finds!
That is an awesome price for that lamp! I've fallen in love with birds, nests, etc. I actually purchased a few birds statuaries and this other little bird item and still haven't put them out yet. I love your bunny too!
I would have bought it too!
Rosemary
What a cute lamp! I totally have the lamp "problem." -- I don't know what to do with the extra ones, but when I see a good one I have to buy it!
~Angela :-)
Cindy...How could you NOT buy that precious little lamp? It's perfect for your nest. It's lovely & quite the bargain too. You did good!!!
Seattle Sue
Both great finds. I've seen rabbits similar to that for about $40. Love the lamp too.
Hi Cindy~
What great finds!!! I love Marshalls, too, and have a T.J. Maxx, and Home Goods all withing a 5 mile radius of eachother...woo hoo!
Everything looks so beautiful as usual.
Have a blessed Easter dear Cindy!!!
xxxooo Ruth
Just the perfect lamp! I adore lamps of all sizes and have so many but each one is special. I love a home aglow with little lamps...
And the bunny is adorable!
Have a happy Easter dear Cindy!
Happy Spring!

OMG i just love the bunny with the candy! That's so cute.
I could not have resisted that wonderful lamp either...You did good! :-)
Love your blog (and I went out and purchased the magazine featuring it...Great article)
You have such beautiful style! Your home seems so cozy and warm, I really like how you have decorated. And your toile and bird lamp is adorable, I love it.
