The best thing about the lamp is the finial at the top. Yes, the lamp works great. It's next to my side of the bed, so it better! and not a chip on the lamp anywhere. It truly is nearly pristine. If Dave and I ever get our pics up on flickr, I'll post a picture of the topper over my bed. BTW- The dozens of hankies... I could never bring myself to cut them, so I just hung them diagonally over a rod as a valance. Best thing, I could take them down, mix 'em up, etc. And my apron collection. I made a valance our of those for the dining room window. It turned out really cool. just used the old fashtion squeeze curtain clips on a rod and tied the apron ties to each other. Ya gotta see it.

Yes, the lamp works great. It’s next to my side of the bed, so it better! and not a chip on the lamp anywhere. It truly is nearly pristine.

Most of mine are tucked away in the closet but you have inspired me to turn them into curtains!!! I have snatched up so many for next to nothing yet they stay hidden away and the whole reason I got them was for their pretty prints. I would really need to line them with something to make them heavier since my windows are so terribly drafty. Maybe I should sew two sheets together? I bet your window topper is to die for! atomicbowler – Ooooooh, I am nuts about vintage linens and doilies, especially sheets!
