Thrift Score Thursday 37: I Love {Swan} Lamp

October 16, 2014 by Cassie 36 Comments

It’s Thursday and that means it’s time for some Thrifty love with Thrift Score Thursday.  I am back with my cohosts, Brynne and Trisha, and we have a special guest host for the next few weeks!  Corinna of For My Love Of is joining us with her own thrifty finds and favorites of yours!

thrift score thursday9PinAnd if you are new around here, here’s a refresher with how Thrift Score Thursday works.  You thrift, share your finds on instagram or twitter using the thrift score thursday hashtag #thriftscorethursday , and we feature our favorite finds, plus we each share a find of our own! As if you need another reason to thrift…

So let’s get to my features this week!  I just HAD to share this dresser that Sarah M. Dorsey found…. It is LOVELY and I know she will make it into something amazing!  (And as a sidenote, I found the matching nightstand last week.  She lives 5 minutes from me, but found her piece in another state, and I found mine 5 minutes from her home! HA!)

Be sure to visit her on instagram and give this photo your puffiest heart ever.

Next is this chair which was just posted yesterday and OHMYGOSHILOVEIT.  Casacavaliere found it!  Wouldn’t it be amazing in a chic home office!ttcasacavalierePin

Head on over to give her a follow and like her photo!

And now it’s my turn!  I gave you all a little teaser yesterday on instagram.  Did you guess what it was?

I was walking around the thrift shop last week and perusing the lamp section when I saw a big white vintage ceramic swan, and I thought to myself, “How did that swan get mixed up with the lighting?”  And then “Wait!  No!  It can’t be?!?!  Is that a…  It is!  It’s a Swan Lamp!!!!!”  And I picked him up off the shelf and swung him in the air with glee and sang a lovely swan song to him.  And I named him Vesuvius because he pours out light like hot lava.  Of course I am not sure I have a spot for him, but I stuck him on my desk just for show.  (And I am using cell phone pics- GASP!  Sorry, I have been working on the playroom in my spare time and just didn’t get time for a great swan lamp shoot).

It doesn’t look like a lamp, does it?  Well, check this out!  Show us what you’ve got, Vesuvius!  Behold!

    Oh Vesuvius is so fun Cassie! I actually think we had the non-lamp version of him in my childhood home, that totally brings me back!

    It’s a TV lamp! My mother-in-law had a TV lamp until two years ago when we got her a flatscreen so she could get rid of her old console TV. (They’re pretty collectable.)

    (But do you really love the swan lamp or are you just pointing at things in the room and saying you love them?)
