I'm so in love with this lamp from The Bella Cottage! It's a vintage porcelain lamp that has been rewired. 
Love this lampshade with creamy white paper roses! Just gorgeous!
I love everything about it...the shape, the color, the roses.
This lamp just speaks to me. It's out of my budget, but I can dream...
Julia at Hooked on Houses is having a "Hooked on Friday" party, please visit to see some other goodies
(this is not a paid advertisement~just something I found that I love and wanted to share with all of you)

Hi Cindy! Those are beautiful lamps! You have the best taste :) Since we are dreaming, I'll take two of those for my bedroom ~ Have a beautiful day ~ xo Joy
Just beautiful - and so right for your home. I would try and duplicate these, somehow, I know they won't be the same, but it would be a fun project!
super cute! DH would never go for Shabby Chic in our house--too girly. So I live vicariously through your blog :-)
Oooh...that's so pretty! Great find! Maybe you can find something similar one day? Or, it will go on sale? Here's to wishful thinking! :)
How beautiful! I can see them in your home too Cindy....
Penny
That has your name written all over it, but I bet you can find something just as nice but a lot less!
Debbie V.
I agree, both that it's BEAUTIFUL...and out of my BUDGET, too!
I viewed her site...and saw some other BEAUTIFUL items!!!
~Blessings,

ps...have fun dreaming and figuring out a way to do this project...I hear those wheels turning from here!
Wow. I agree with you. That is a dream lamp. You've got me dreaming too.

Your lamp love certainly qualifies for Julia's Hooked On Fridays. That lamp would be perfect in your home.
I'm not sure what I like more, the lamp or the shade! I wonder if you could make teeny coffee filter roses and glue them on a lampshade.
Very pretty. I love the shade.
I found a vintage lamp for #4.99 at Goodwill after dropping off a donation. It is cream, with a curved base and raised roses (all tone on tone) with a cream drum shade with gold piping. It was so feminine, I had to have it. It had the manufacturer on the bottom and it turned out the lamp was from the fifties. I got very lucky.
Reading your blog has inspired me so much to start taking on some "pretty" projects for my own home.
I can hear your wheels turning in your brain Cindy. You can copy that lamp girl, I know you can !
Oh, how pretty! You don't see lamps like that much any more, do you? Thanks for joining my blog party and sharing it with us! :-)
Oh, such pretty photos! I can see why you would dream about that lamp!
This calmed me right down.
Stop over and see my latest "find"
That is absolutely lovely, really! I would love something like that! :)
When I first saw it, I thought, look what she has done with that lamp! You are so creative, I am sure you can invent one on your own. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Cindy! I'll bet you could easily duplicate this look!!!! It is gorgeous, so feminine and fresh! Have a great weekend - Sincerely, Jeannette
Ooooo La La - LOVE IT! Everything about it too, so much that I don't know where to begin! I can see why you swoon over every single detail.
Wishing you a blessed New Year!
Debbie
YES CINDY,THIS LAMP IS AWESOME AND IT LOOKS JUST LIKE YOU.I'M GOING OVER THERE NOW.OH DEAR........ANN
How beautiful! Perfect for a romantic home! (I found you through Hooked on Houses.)
Beautiful lamp...but I bet you could come up with something creative and just as pretty!
That's very pretty. I particularly like the shade.
Hi Cindy,
I really like the shade! I think you could duplicate it fairly easily. I particularly like the small roses. Have a good week end.
Sandyt
I totally love that lamp too Cindy. It is so romantic and elegant. I could picture that in your home for sure. You have very good taste! Amy :)
Hi Cindy,
As talented as you are you could make this lamp. Find a nice creamy base, and I know you could transform a regular shade into this one. It may not look exactly like it, but I know you could make it beautiful. I love your blog and read it everyday. Thanks for all of your wonderful ideas.
Lorri
That lamp is out of this world. I love your taste. Gives me something to think about.
Keep dreaming, some dreams do come to pass.
Smiles,
Pat
Oh how i could sit curled up in a warm and cozy blanket, with a cup of tea and a good book--not reading of course, but staring at that pretty lamp.
I love the lamp it's gorgeous and will definitely fit into your home. I have faith in you, just post a pic of your version when you make it, I know you will...
My friend and I ran by an antique store while we were at lunch, guess what I bought...a lamp! The shade is cream and the base is a light pink. I bought it thinking I could recover it. I come back and check my favorite blogs and I find your pic of the lamp...karma???
Cindy,
That lamp is so you. It would be a perfect compliment to your living room or your bedroom!
Cindy, your post is gorgeous as is your blog!
Hello Cindy, I came over from Beverly's blog and your dream lamp is gorgeous. The all white look is so clean and lovely to look at. I think Beverly wants that lamp. She fell in love with it!!!
Hugs...Jeanne
Cindy, I LOVE that lamp, it's beautiful. It would be a lamp that you would have, and love, for the rest of your life. Whatever it costs, worth every penny.
Holy Cow $390.- It sure is a beauty, though. Maybe it'll inspire us to glue together a vase to a base and glue pretty roses to a creamy white shade... You've already got the wiring part down :)
Thanks for sharing the website - I just love to browse and dream...
Have a great weekend,
Karin
Now thats a BEAUTY, just GORGEOUS! I'm sure if you look around a little bit, I bet you can find something similar with a reasonable price. I know things like that happens to me quite a bit.
That is a beautiful lamp. Shabby Chic has a large lamp that has a similar look on the bottom.
It would be out of reach for both of us. Time to search the thrift stores again......
Ciao
Yep, it truly looks just like you. Would look perfect in your place.
Brenda
Love your gorgeous blog!
Hello Cindy; I love that lamp too. It is just so gorgeous looking. I would love to have one in my home.
Have a great weekend
Hugs;
Alaura
What, you don't have an extra $390 to blow on a lamp? GULP!! That is very pricey!! I'm sure you will be duplicating this very soon with your thift store finds. I just feel it!!
Blessings,
Sher
Ooooohhh...I can see why you love this lamp! Its stunning, so elegant and charming. And it would look PERFECT in your lovely home. :-)
Gorgeous lamp! Bella Cottage is only 1/2 hour from my house! I bought my tea cart from her and furniture appliques.
Thanks again for sharing-have a great weekend!
Any projects planned?
Donna
Oh, Cindy, my grandmother had TWO lamps exactly like that!! The shades were slightly different, but the bases were the same. I loved those lamps! Thanks so much for sharing that pic. It brings back many sweet memories for me. And I think you ought to splurge & buy it!!
Big TX Hugs,
Stephanie

Wonderful lamp. Amazing beauty.
Alfazema
Yes, this lamp was great.
Hope you have a nice weekend.
love Elzie
Cindy, It is a beautiful lamp but I'll bet you find something similiar while your thrifting. I bet you could recreate the flowers and glue them on to a lamp with a similar shape.
Have a great weekend!
WOW!!!!
It's beautiful :)
I love it!!!
Iza :)
Hi Cindy..gorgeous!..I found a vintage lamp with hand pin tucked lampshade I am re-creating! I finally voted on HGTV for you! 17 degrees wish I was there..big snowstorm coming tonight and tomorrow.I was given a couple of gorgeous furniture pieces I am going to paint..probably not till spring..sigh..LOL Denise
Cindy, you are so creative, I know you can use this lamp as inspiration, and come up with something equally beautiful. The lampshade part should be easy, after all you already know how to make the paper roses (time consuming, but easy, right?) As for the lamp, even if you attached roses somehow, the white paint would unify the whole thing. Good luck!
I could see why you liked it :)
Thanks for sharing this with us♥
Love. It.
Cindy
This lamp is so lovely...and I took a olook at your 2008 projects as I witnessed your working on them all year. You really are such a talent and inspiration to others. your home is gorgeous and says come in and put up your feet. Warm and wonderful!
I too love the lamp, simple yet elegant, I want one too Cindy!! Mind you "want" not "need".
this lamp is too good to be true......I think this must be one of the kinds they have in Haeven...
Cindy - that is really pretty! If you have a Target store close to you, they have the prettiest reed diffusers that come with white ceramic vases embossed with white flowers. My daughter bought one that looks to me like a lily design, but they also had a gorgeous dimensional rose reed diffuser/vase that had the same type of 'look' as the lamp you posted. At our store, they were on an end cap near the candle aisle. Have a great week!!... Donna @ An Enchanted Cottage
Nice!!
Ooohhh!! Thanks for sharing this. I actually have a lamp much like this one. I want to add roses to my lampshade. They are so beautiful!!!
Thank you, thank you for sharing this!
Blessings,
Elizabeth
Cindy, I have been dreaming of this lamp since the day you posted it. I've even talked about it at work. I need to erase it from my brain.
I'm supposed to be cleaning my little house today, but I'm sitting here with my cup of tea enjoying your home..... :-)
I'll go vote for you on RMS........
Blessings,
Spencer
I don't know how much this lamp was because I couldn't find it on their web site, but I bought a pair of these for $25 (yes, $12.50 each) in Huntington, WV, in December. They just had plain shades, though. I love this shade!
