Tales from the City-The Little Lamp GIrl of London

The little lamp girl

I love mooching around. London has plenty of places to satisfy that craving. I saw this little lamp in a second-hand shop, and just could not resist taking a photograph of her.  I played around a bit and here is the result.  I always wonder about items like this, where did she come from, who owned her before, and who let her go and why? The shop owner had no idea and so she remains a mystery, but mystery or not,  I’ve named her– The Little Lamp Girl of London.

It’s rare to catch me without coffee, a form of camera, or my beloved wire fox terriers. I love the history, the art, and it’s a massive part of my life, as I either paint, write, or get interrupted by my dogs, reminding me of the real world. I hope you enjoy your time here. It’s such a privilege to have readers.

    Is that a photograph or a painting you did of the photograph? It’s very eye-catching.

      Hi Crubin!

      Thanks! It’s actually an Iphone photo. I did some manipulations and there it is. I like the little girl lamp but don’t think I would buy it. So I hope she’s found a home!
