... gimme a light after midnight (abba version). in the past, when i found a light number like this a-one, it either didn’t work, wavered or creaked when flexed. or it was way too small. creme (pixar!) beauty as shown here crept up on me, as i was inspecting an ersatz vintage blender. the blender looked pretty, but would not do. then, all of a sudden the humongous table reading lamp next to it rose to the occasion. i saw her, grabbed her and checked out, quick as a wink! she shines, does she ever. and what’s really enjoyable, she stretches and plies effortlessly, smoothly and silently. a true star.
scrutinized by the said light, sits this old’n’tattered light weight serving tray, which i fell in love with for its graphic design. they talk, sometimes, inanimate objects. sophie’s treasure-house here.
Oh this lamp screams Pixar, but its fabulous, and in working order.. what a great find!
ReplyDeleteLove the lamp. There is something very elegant in the slim line design of these lamps and the way they arch. I love them. Haven't been lucky enough to find one that works but you've inspired me to just keep looking, just keep looking...(Pixar reminded me of Dory from Nemo..just keep swimming).
ReplyDeleteLovely lamp and light...

The lamp is a cool find but I do like the graphic designs of your tray too. It reminds me of all those 50's barkcloth designs.
ReplyDeleteOh, a lamp that can do plies... lovely!
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely lovely lamp, very jealous. a fabulous beautiful find! : )

ReplyDeleteBeautiful finds,Nadine. I'm in love with your service tray ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat lamp! (Squeak, squeak, bounce!) :)
ReplyDeletePixar lamp was my first thought, too. Love it and that gorgeous tray!
ReplyDeleteSo a lamp that shines not only when plugged in and turned on. If you had not taken it away perhaps it would have followed you home.
ReplyDeleteWorth waiting for.
I really like the graphics on the tray. Hard to find here. I love anything industrial. That lamp does the job!
ReplyDeleteI like the graphics on the tray too. Nice lamp, nice light!
ReplyDeleteI never find those lamps in working condition, one day..one day!
