My Pink Saturday entry is an oil burning lamp that was given to me by my mom. She
in turn received it from her mom. I'm not sure how old this is but I do know that my mom says she remembers my grandmother having it for a very long time. In fact, I'm pretty sure my grandma bought it at an antique store. One memory I have of this lamp is when I was about 3 or 4 years old. I was touching things I knew I shouldn't and sure enough, the hurricane top broke. Since then it has had many different glass tops. The base has been through so many moves I am not about to count, and has never cracked or broke.

What a beautiful lamp...the flowers are do delicate looking. I have been looking for an oil lamp..we have alot of power outages and that would work so great! Happy Pink Saturday!

Happy Pink Saturday! Beautiful lamp!
Such a special and lovely lamp you have! And that it has so many memories attached to it. :o)
The lamp is a real survivor, surviving all of those moves, and your little hands as a child...and it came through looking great! Its a really lovely lamp. :-)
What a great treasure passed down to you from some very special ladies.
That lamp might be sturdier than you suspect. Globes? Unfortunately not. Thanks for sharing your beautiful lamp. It's a treasure.
All the best, Lana
Happy Pink Saturday, Syndee.
Your oil lamp is such a wonderful and beautiful treasure. Do you ever light it?
Yes I've been known to light it every now and then. It has come in handy when we have had power outages.
It's a beautiful lamp. How cool that you have such an early memory of it!
