New Treasures

  Thought I'd show you my new lamp today....

and another treasure I just found.

So above is the top of the pole lamp I just got.

 I think it is a kerosene lamp, and there is still wick in it too.

Wonder what the glass part looked like.

(of course they are always the first to get broken).

Anyone know anything about these old lamps?
Just found out from one of my readers,
this is an Aladdin lamp, pre 1952.
Here is link if interested in reading more.
Thank you Granny Sue for this great info.

 Here is the base.

Isn't it wonderful too??

And here is my next treasure today...

Can you tell what it is?

Does this help??

Probably not, but love this old leather handle.

OK. Now I'm sure you have guessed it.

Yep. A vintage Victor speaker.

(is Victor short for Victrola??) =)

Hope you enjoyed my treasures today.

Oh, here is just a little something I made 3 years ago..

I really only added the song title across the top 

to a free graphic from

My Little Raggedy Blessings.

She makes the cutest things,
and and also does wonderful graphics she
lets us have them all to use for our art.

Do hope you will go visit.

Be blessed every one and have a great week.

Sweet Little Booklet

This sweet picture is from
Renae at
My Little Raggedy Blessings Blog
and this is the direct link to wonderful pictures for us to use.
My Little Raggedy Blessings Pictures.
Thank you Renae!!!

I did my cover (no pic of this part)
and then cut 5 little sheets of paper to fit inside.
(cut pages a bit smaller than cover).
I stamped the corners of the pages lightly,
(click pic. to see better)
then laid them out on the inside cover and stapled on the seam.
Fold the booklet closed and press on seam to flatten a bit.
Then I added trim and a little key.
My booklet is only about 3x4",
but you could make it any size.
These booklets would be nice token gifts for a special friends,
for them to fill with little thoughts, or you could add
some special notes or scriptures to it your self.
or......
Other ideas?????

Here are some other cute pics you will find
at My Little Raggedy Blessings.

Be sure if you make anything from my ideas
or tutorials (see side bar) to let me know so I
can share with my friends here.

Blessings all
