Beloved, did you know that your smiling face can brighten up another's day? 
You never know when another person sees your sincere gesture how it may cheer them up. What they might be going through may be difficult to bare and your smile may become a natural remedy for healing. Even those that seem to have it all at times need a encouraging word or gentle hello.
I cannot wait to see this treasure transformed into a lighted accent piece resting on the diningroom window ledge. Standing tall at 18" soon she'll be wearing a glass chimney. As time passes, she'll glow with a decorative globe on her new frosted chimney. I've been looking and think I can get a 14" chimney to fit this electric wired white metal lamp. L&L WMC is embossed on the bottom.
This lamp put a smile on my face. From what I can find out L&L WMC stands for Loevsky and Loevsky White Metal Casting. This New Jersey Corporation closed in the late 1970s. If you have any additional information that you'd like to shed some light on, I'd appreciate this.
A few weeks ago I attended a garage sale where some of the furniture was still inside the house. The Granddaughter and Daughter were running the sale. The Granddaughter said her Grandmother had entered into a Nursing Home. The Daughter appeared to be nearing 80 years old herself, so I imagine that her Mother is around 100. Just a guess.
Most the furniture was already gone, but this lamp caught my eye for a dollar. One dollar. Amazing. She came home with me to my Haven and is respectfully waiting for a new chimney and to be used.
May life be all that it is suppose to be. A gift to treasure and enjoy.
Just like you...you also are a treasure. So let your light shine!
Blessings to you,

Hello there.
Do you have a favorite lamp in your home that means a great deal to you?
Enjoy hearing from you.

Deanna,
The lamp is lovely. I like how you used it to demonstrate how we can be a lamp to others. You're right all it takes is a smile or a kind word.
Thanks for being a light in the blogosphere!
God Bless.
Love the lamp, thanks for blogging about it! Will be on the lookout for chimneys. "8^)
Yes Deanna, I have a favorite lamp. It is a kerosene lamp that I bought for our anniversary almost 30 years ago. Wow, can't believe we have had that lamp that long. It is light green bottle glass (depression glass?).
Although we have a number of lamps that are very nice, I think that one is my favorite.
Can we go treasure hunting together after I get the roofing done? It's about time to add to my elephant collection again, have bought one in so long.
Thank you for teaching me that there are "treasures" to be had out there at yard/garage sales, junk stores and auctions.
Much love. Rg
Hi there Deanna,
I found your website through Bethany---what a lovely blog you have. What a sweet lamp, as well, and a thought-provoking way to remember who our Light truly is.
Prayers,

What a great post, very sweet. I like the lamp, it's beautiful!!! I don't have a lamp that means that much to me but if I had to pick one it would be my livingroom one that I bought at walmart....it's the only one I can use for my cross stitching, if I couldn't cross stitch, I don't know what I would do.....Hugs, Jennifer
Thanks Deanna! You're always encouraging us:)
I do have a favorite lamp. It was a wedding gift from our friends grandmother. It is actually the perfect touch in our living room and I always enjoy looking at it and remembering how we got it!
What a gorgeous lamp! I can just picture it with a beautiful handpainted rose globe. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, Deanna, thanks for commenting on the trailer paneling!!! I predict that maybe YOU will be out there collecting this stuff to put in your stone house!!!
Amazing find, I love it! I am kind of a lamp freak...I have lots of them in different shapes and sizes and styles. I love the soft glow a lamp emits...a favorite? Hmmm, that I'll have to ponder on... :)
