My favorite is the big one you asked for, but I also love the whale oil lamp...I appreciate the warmth and coziness of your home. The lamps will add to that feel.<br />You have a wonderful husband.

They're like the 18th century sparking, betty and aladdin-style lamps with only an open flame, just a step up from a candle. Chimneys diffuse light better so it's a shame it took so long for them to be used on lamps that burned oil.magnoliasnteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517995125207145961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332471591254149295.post-67105342320674476172013-07-23T08:48:28.510-04:002013-07-23T08:48:28.510-04:00How nice of Goodman to take the time to look for w...How nice of Goodman to take the time to look for what you might like.
