Good morning, Dear Pink Ones and welcome to another grand Pink Saturday! This wonderful Pink event is hosted by the sweetest and Pinkest One, Beverly at http//howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/ . There is so much wonderful Pinkness to be found every Saturday on her blog. To view the Pinkness and all the Pink participants, please hurry over!!
Now, my contribution to Pink Saturday today really doesn't belong to me but to my Mr. Precious! This is his Gone With The Wind Lamp. These lamps are lovingly called by this name because so many were seen in the Gone With The Wind movie. Their stunning appearance in the movie has caused the name to stick.
Mr. Precious truly loves this lamp which was given to him by my Mother! She gave this beautiful lamp to him!! It was purchased in Natchez, M I crooked letter crooked letter I crooked letter crooked letter I humpback humpback I! Now I had to do that because my Daddy always would spelled Mississippi that way to me when I was a little girl and do a little dance. I loved it! He's in Heaven now, so, that was for you, Daddy!! ;)
Okay...I got off track just a bit, I'm sorry!
This is a very old kerosene lamp that was converted to an electric one. But look at the beautiful hand painted pink rose on the bottom globe!! I think it's so lovely.
The top glass globe has the same pink rose painted on it. You know I have seen some of these lamps in antique shops but the top globe had gotten broken and replaced with another globe. Then someone had attempted to paint a flower similar to the bottom globe. Usually they just don't match up very well. How special to have both the original globes.
Mr. Precious really does love and enjoy his Gone With The Wind Lamp. He loves it almost as much as he loves our little Chloe Dawn - she's really into Pink Saturdays!!
Have a beautiful Pink Saturday!
I'll leave you with a little Note Song~
Puppy Love
And they called it puppy love
Oh, I guess they'll never know
How a young heart really feels
And why I love her so
And they called it puppy love
Just because we're in our teens
Tell them all it isn't fair
To take away my only dream
I cry each night my tears for you
My tears are all in vain
I'll hope and I'll pray that maybe someday
You'll be back in my arms once again
Someone, help me, help me, help me please
Is the answer up above
How can I, how can I tell them
This is not a puppy love
~ sung by Paul Anka & Donnie Osmond
It's cool, knowing Mr. Precious loves Roses, too! Tom loves 'em as well!
ReplyDeleteThe lamp is gorgeous...and I like the photo of Mr. Precious and Chloe Dawn!!

The lamp is very special!! I, like you, always see them with the not-so-good replacement shades. Enjoy your weekend. Sally
ReplyDeleteThat lamp is really special - no wonder it is so loved!
ReplyDeleteI posted Pink Sat today - but don't have much pink in my house. It's mostly blues and lavenders.
Happy pink saturday to you tool.
Ooh, it really does look like it should be in Scarlett O'Hara's parlour, doesn't it? Love the Mississippi spelling!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday to you, Chloe Dawn, Mr. Precious and your mother.
ReplyDeleteYour mother must love Mr. Precious very much to give him such a beautiful gift. My mother has lived with us for over eighteen years.
You all are very blessed to have each other.
Sheila, Your hubby's lamp is perfectly beautiful. The colors would so match my house. Those 'Gone With the Wind' lamps are rare indeed. The fact that this is still all there makes it even more special. A lovely treasure to share on Pink Saturday. Happy weekend dear Sheila.

Hi Shelia...That's exactly the way my grandmother taught me to spell Mississippi too...oh, the memories...and now I've passed on that bit of southerness to my grandson. Your lamp, I mean Mr. Precious' lamp is in outstanding condition...so pretty! ;-) Bo
ReplyDeleteThe lamp is beautiful...but that puppy love picture just warmed my heart!!!!! Have a lovely weekend Ms Sheila!
ReplyDeleteYour lamp is so beautiful. I can see why your hubby likes it so much and especially because it came from his mother. Our hubbies really love those little schnauzers don't they? It warms my heart too. Have a lovely evening, Carol
ReplyDeleteThe lamp is so lovely - Mr Precious as good taste and his mom does too. That is such a precious photo at the end of your post, just precious. Chloe Dawn is gorgeous, who cold not love her.

Mr. Precious and Chloe Dawn. How adorable!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday, dear Shelia!
ReplyDeleteI love hurricane lamps! This one is especially beautiful!

The lamp is absolutely beautiful. But - better than the lamp is "Mississippi" and "Puppy Love." I understand those special memories that our Daddys gave us.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Sweetie
Hi Shelia,
ReplyDeleteLove that lamp, especially the colors. I can see why Mr Precious likes it so much.
Hope you have a great weekend!
Happy Pink Saturday Shelia!
ReplyDeleteI love your "gone with the wind lamp"! Very pretty! I have a couple antique globe lamps too, but they are in shades of brown and gold.
Shelia...I love your lamp! Isn't that amazing that we both posted about Gone With the Wind lamps today?! :-) I love the way you write...especially love it when you "get off track." And that photo at the end of Mr. Precious and Chloe Dawn...that is an awesome pic...love it! In my next life, I'm coming back as a doggie in your household...because that's the life! :-) Susan
ReplyDeleteI do believe Mr. Precious has some FINE taste in lamps, dogs and women!!! (YOU are the female I'm referring to!)
ReplyDeleteI just love it that they enjoyed the lamps so much, they would make them electric! What thrifty folks. We all need to think a little more like that!
Hope your PSat was full of Pinkness! Dana
