I’m having a cute attack. No, I don’t mean that I’m cute. Let me explain.
Some of you might remember my birthday gift from Don a couple of years ago. If you don’t, here’s a photo:
It was this parakeet lamp. I fell in love with it when I saw it in Heidi’s shop and Don took the hint and bought it for me.
It is truly one of my very favorite things in this cottage. I love it. I adore it.
Now look at this:
This little bird lamp was part of the same Petite Princess line as the chest. I didn’t know there were lamps in the line until I saw it on eBay. Then I let out a little shriek and bid on it. It was only a few dollars. It just arrived in my mailbox.
Don’t you think it’s just perfect for the bedroom? It may sound a little crazy but when I saw it, I felt it was meant to be. It’s one of those things that will have a special meaning for me. Both of my houses will have sweet bird lamps. I’m smiling.
My order of beadboard and trim arrived on Friday, as well. Now I can get back to work on the bedroom. I haven’t even touched the last two rooms which will be the bathroom and the craft room/studio. I will have to hold off on more furniture for the time being.
But I have that 1/2″ scale dollhouse kit waiting for me in the meantime.
Linking to Beverly’s Pink Saturday.
You`re right, so cute!

A re-creation of your own home! How wonderful.

Claudia! That was definitely meant to be! It is perfect. I am with you. I didn’t know that Petite Princess made accessories, but maybe there are fewer of them left than furniture? I love both lamps.

How wonderful that you found that! Too cute. Your birthday present lamp is just gorgeous.
Yes, I do indeed recall the precise time he gave that lamp to you. And it was a perfect gift. The man knows you well! Your little cottage is looking very warm and cozy, Claudia!

I love both lamps! I see another dollhouse in your future, Claudia!
The parakeet lamp is just beautiful. And how fun is the miniature one for your little house.
Loved your first sentence. Yes, you are cute!LOL
It’s serendipity!
Have a lovely weekend,
Sue
Ohhhh, I love the lamp and can relate. My mother had one, which my sis has ~ she gave me a similar one for Christmas one year. Fyi I have plastic dollhouse furniture somewhere and will dig it out and send you pix. Have fun.
WOW! How much fun is that!!!
It is so sweet on the chest, Claudia-which is the sweetest furnichure– and your own lamp is so beautiful.
Have a happy week-end.
Hugs,Dorthe
How adorable! Yes, It was meant to be. Enjoy!
Blessings, Joanne
Just darling! I love BOTH your lamps. I have cute attacks all the time. Nice thing about a blog. I have a place to indulge. Like Pink Saturday! Hope yours is great!

Hi Claudia, boy it’s been a long time since we visited! So glad you stopped by my blog today. I LOVE both of your lamps!! In fact, I’ve got the EXACT same lil one myself. Got the entire dollhouse and furniture for my 9th bday/Christmas gift! Still have all the furniture.
Need to catch up on some of your past posts now.
Happy PS!

Talk about being at the right place at the right time! You were so lucky!
Awwwwwwww! What a neat find. I am looking forward to working on a dollhouse with Dear Bebe someday. I really like those chests too.
You were meant to have these treasures! So sweet! I hope your weekend is wonderful.
I love the parakeet lamp. How cute is that? And the little bitty birdie lamp too. I love what you have done so far with your doll house. I would love to build a doll house but I am angle impaired so I just don’t know how it would turn out. Have a happy Sunday.
Love your birdie lamps Claudia! So cute!

Both lamps are darling! I am going to have to check some dollhouse stuff out on Ebay!~Hugs, Patti
Sweet finds and love the vintage chests ~ they are charming. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. Happy weekend to you!
Ciao,
Suzanne
Oh my gosh, Claudia . . . can this dollhouse get any cuter???? This lamp is so special. Keep sharing. I adore seeing what you’re adding to this little house!

Oh my….. I think I’m being inspired… how EVAH would I find enough time to actually build a dollhouse? I did make one, years and years ago, for my daughter…. I have no idea whatever happened to it. I’m loving seeing the progress on yours…. :-)
I’ve spent about forty eight gazillion hours trying to make the favicon for my blog. I’ve reduced it to the right pixels, I’ve changed it to an ico, I’ve played and played and played……..I put it in the little spot where it’s supposed to be. It shows up there, but not on my blog. What am I missing? I love yours……..and darn it all…….I want one for my very own!

Hi Claudia, I was so glad to see your comment! Thank you so much for stopping by..I have been in a fibro fog lately, but trying hard!
Love the birdie lamps..oh my I don’t blame you for bidding and getting that sweet little lamp, they are both perfect!
Have a beautiful week,
Barb
It was definitely meant to be–and it’s gorgeous! I just wrote about a similar thing that happened to me with regard to a Kwan Yin statue–one big, one miniature–fun!
That parakeet lamp is so realistic, it looks a great deal like the two parakeets that live at our house. That is so dear, that you found that sweet little lamp for your dollhouse, it sure is coming along nicely, Claudia.
Absolutely. You had to have it. It was meant to be.
And, I love the lamp from your Don. It is gorgeous.
How is Heidi? If you see her, please tell her I asked about her. She used to do Pink Saturday. I miss her.
Oh my goodness, I love your parakeet lamp! So pretty!
