I may just have a problem, and I blame Thomas Edison


Just a little over 1 year ago I had such a hard time finding lamps that I liked...fast forward to October 2012 and I now live with 10 vintage lamps in my apartment...sigh. Each one of the cuties seems to have a personality of its own. But I may really have a problem; as we don't really need that many lamps in our small pseudo atomic pad...help me, Please.
 I just need to decide which ones I am going to keep and which cuties I will share with someone else who will love them. The new vintage Hamilton Industries black and silver lamp really is just too cool for words ( little thing really should be wearing Ray-Ban Wayfarers  ...it really is that cool) It has silver feet and a funky knob that allows to to raise or lower the lamp from its feet...see I told you it was cool.

Things have been dry around our Columbus for a few weeks hope this find breaks the spell. Had to pass on a cracked David Stewart turtle planter...insert sad face here. Did find another Couroc tray...I think am drawn to them because I would give anything to live in Monterey California ( shh I haven't told Mr. atomic Moxie that yet...we will keep that just between us...wink)
Just had to share some of them with you:) So what have you been finding?

  1. There have not many sales here lately, so I have not found anything. Both of the lamps are great. I like the little fellow standing by them too.

  4. Those lamps are so neat! Perfect accents, and great when you need just a little focused lighting :) And I love anything with that retro mustardy-brown color.
    Happy VTT!
