vintage tole lamps

I just came back from Martha's Vineyard with a pair of sweet vintage table lamps.
They have a curved gilded lampshade rod, an enamel base with gold detailing,
 and sweet little porcelain flowers with metal gilded leaves.
They are darling!
 Perhaps better suited for a boudoir, 
but right at home on my dining room sideboard.
A closeup of the painted detail. 
They came from this funky antique junk shop in Vineyard Haven.
Sitting on the counter, getting ready to travel to their new home....$25/pair! What a deal!
 I also picked up bamboo bangles and a beaded bangle that reminded me of Indian style moccasins. 
I put some basic off white linen shades on them. 
These little darlings are a delight!
Our home...the perfect nest.
