My mother-in-law gave me the bottom part of this Gone With the Wind Lamp soon after we moved into our first house. It had a thistle pattern painted on the base, but alas, no top. I was fortunate to find a lady who hand painted china and had a reputation for renovating lamps that needed some TLC.
This is the before. Only the base part was intact.
Then, the china painter created a top...
and this is the finished product...
I am so happy I found my china painter!Please visit Cindy at My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday and Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for Pink Saturday fun.

Hi Joan!
Happy Pink Saturday. I love this lamp. It is so beautiful. I love the shape and the color is so happy. That is one thing I have noticed about a lot of the antique lamps, they had a lot of pink ones, and their glow was just beautiful. It gives the room a happy look. Thanks for sharing.
Please stop by and let me share my Pink Saturday with you. Country hugs, Sherry
