Shop Local Saturday...mum's the word!

Saturday was "Shop Local" day.

I did my duty.

We had lunch at a local eatery,

bought goodies at the local candy store,

and shopped at our new favorite

thrift store.

I found a pair of lovely chrysanthemum lamps.

I did some research on them

and I believe they are from the

Marbro Lamp Company.

If they are indeed Marbro lamps,

this will be my luckiest find to date.

Dana at Mid2Mod did a post on the

company. You can read it here.

Notice the Greek key design at the top.

And on the Marbro lamp (I spotted on

a google search), just below the lip.

The hand painted flowers are almost identical.

Also note the design at the bottom of the lamps.

Both lamps dotted with gold leaf.

The blue lamp is for sale here.

(for $2,250.)

I found mine for a whopping $15.00!

Shop local indeed!

*I found another pair at a website here
