What a fun
Pink Saturday Today!
Not only is it
Valentine's Day
but it's my
100th Post!
and
you know what that means...
It's time for my first Give-A-Way!
You know that Jacob has been hard
at work creating the perfect gift.
Ever since he was a little boy
Jacob wanted to be
an Electrician.
With all of the knowledge that he
has accumulated over the years
I think that all he needs
is his license!
He has wired his log cabin, my shed,
placed lights in my garage.
Put the recessed can lights
in our kitchen,
replaced outlets and switches.
He even makes lamps.
He has created this
wonderful
Antique Ball Jar Lamp
just for you!
The fun part of the Ball jar lamp
is that you can fill it
with anything that you want!
Just like these cute
Pink Conversation Hearts,
or how about
Jelly Beans....
or you can even leave it empty.
I love the look of the antique blue/green glass.
The jars were manufactured by
the Ball Brothers Glass Manufacturing Co.
from 1923 to 1933.
They used to be easy to come by
but around these parts
the jars are becoming scarce.
Especially the zinc caps.
Jacob and I travelled to many
Antique stores to gather the parts!
The lamps are the perfect size
to place on your kitchen counter,
bathroom vanity, sewing room,
or craft room.
I think this lampshade goes with
the color of the glass perfectly!
Here is a close-up of the dangly, little hearts.
This lamp was handcrafted by Jacob.

Now not only will you receive this darling
Antique Ball Jar lamp
but you will also

This blog is the first thing I do in the morning,

Robyn, Congratulations on your 100th post. The antique ball jar lamps are really clever. I have some of the jars filled with old buttons. I could use them for a lamp and put buttons in them. Your Jacob is certainly talented. I'm going to visit his site.
Hugs,
Sweetie

Happy Pink Saturday, oh, and ♥Valentine's Day♥ too!! What a beautiful pink day today. Thanks so much!
PS: A little late. Spent the day and evening yesterday with my little grandsons. Nothing like three, handsome men for distraction!
WOW Jacob really went over the top with this marvelous prize!!! What a great job he did on that awesome lamp! Congrats on reaching 100...do you feel old? I for one have sure enjoyed finding your blog and sharing the ins and outs of your life. Thanks for sharing with us!
Hi Robyn,
What a great post, the lamp is darling. I hope Jacob does become an electrician, they make a good living. ;) Our bestman and now his son are doing very well in that field.
I love visiting your blog, just to see what's going on with you and your son. It's always a pleasure.
We made little lights with our granddaughters, they collected sea shells while visiting here, and I gave them some plastic mayonnaise jars to put them in. So we wired them and bought inexpensive shades, which they decorated. It was a fun project on a rainy summer day.
Congratulations on your 100th post.
(((((((HUGS))))))) & ONE FOR JACOB TOO (((HUG)))

Hi Robyn, I'm just trying to get caught up with my blog visits. Am I too late? Tell Jacob I think he's done a cracker jack job on that lamp! You are so lucky to have a son with so much talent!

I love Ball jars. My husband's grandmother did a lot of canning and when she died, each of her children and grandchildren took one of her jars.
Congrats on your 100th post!! That's something to celebrate. And what a nice giveaway. Thanks! :-)

Good afternoon Robyn..thanks so much for coming by girl and seeing my little 1 room cabin in the woods...and girl to do a post about that stove I would have to clean it all up..and I hate cleaning stoves now I'll do toilets but stoves Yuck!!I have been trying for 4 months now to find someone to come in once a week and help me clean..its gotton to be too much for me at my age and too big now..of course if I stopped collecting I would't have as much to dust..ha ha!! hope you had a great day...hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
What a neat lamp! So unique! Your son is very talented. Love the little chicks too.
My tooth has settled down a little. I went in yesterday and Dr. Bishop shaved part of my tooth down, it definitly helped. I'm anxious to see what the endodontist finds. All I know is it's been hurting off and on going on 10 months now. Maybe I'll get it taken care of soon, Kristen
Hello Robyn,
I was thinking of you today!
Sending warm thoughts,
Kathi :)
Congratulation on your 100th post. Jacob is a talented young man! The lamps are amazing!
