Poodle Lamps

Remember those cute little poodle lamps from the 50's?   Well, they had a pair of them at the auction last Saturday!


Only one other person thought they were as cute as I did ..... so, I was able to get the pair for $7    The lamps are Chalk Ware and are marked  "Flair 1956".   I bought them without shades, but I had some on hand  (from a yard sale, of course) that worked perfect.
I put them on the coffee table right in front of my chair so I can really enjoy them.   They put off a nice soft light at night when H and I are watching TV or just relaxing. 
I "altered" them just a little......I thought they would look better with a little glitter on their "pom poms".  They also got a pretty pink dog collar.

I glued a few strands of pearls to the shades to brighten them up a  little......I'm not real happy with the shades and may add something else to them later.    Aren't these fresh roses beautiful?  

Now,  I'm going to have a nice cup of tea, relax,  and enjoy my new poodle lamps!
See you later.....

    I have never seen poodle lamps before! Cute. I wonder if someone bought the chalkware dogs and then made them into lamps.

    How do you plug them up? Do you have cords running in front of couch or do you have plugs in the floor right there. Just wondering if you have to be careful if you use the couch at anytime. I put plugs in the floor when I did my house. I knew at some time I'd be putting lamps in the middle of the floor/room but didn't want to deal with cords running everywhere. So just wondering how you did yours.

    I have seen poodle lamps before but I can't remember where. I like them sprinkled with glitter. Can one have too much glitter? I don't think so! Love the teacup and that pretty plate too. Thanks for coming to tea. Blessings, Sandi

    We love poodles, we have 3 standards, you know the ones who weigh in at 45-65 lbs. If I'd been at the auction there would have been more than 1 other interested party LOL.

    Penny, of course those poodles needed a touch of pink. And the glitter really made them sparkle. I bet they are dog-gone happy. lol! Sure did snag them for a great price. Thanks for sharing them with SYC.

    Those are so cute! I had a pair of poodle lamps and a poodle bank...and a large Standard Poodle for a pet...in the 1950s. THAT brought back long forgotten memories.... Nice find! Looks lovely with the china also.
