Look what I won!!!!

Back on January 1st, I found Linda Merrill's beautiful interior design blog. She was having an awesome giveaway for RESOLUTION Ought Nine. The drawing was held this past Monday. I'm so excited, speechless, and grateful to both Linda and artist Tracy Glover.
This is one of many exquisite creations of artist Tracy Glover. She blows the glass using Venetian techniques.

Veronese Lamp

With it’s inspiration drawn from 16th century Italian paintings, this lamp is an homage to the Veronese vase manufactured by the Venini company in the early 1920’s. Ribbon-like latticino canes co-mingle with solid striped canes in shades of white and opaline.Hand-blown in Rhode Island with traditional Italian cane techniques.
6 inch round, acrylic base
26 inches tall from base to top of finial
White dupioni silk shade, 8.5 inches tall by 14 inches at bottom and 9 inches at top
Nickel dimmer switch socket, 100 watt max
All nickel hardware
Striped glass finial

This beautiful creation makes me drool. What a lucky Lamp Tramp I am! Just to behold this vision of loveliness cheers me up. To actually possess this lamp, to wake up to it each day, and to lovingly dust it's dupioni silk, takes my breath away!

Thank you Linda and Tracy!
