Grandma's Rooster Lamp



This adorable lamp belonged to my dear sweet Grandmother and was her pride and joy. I decided to borrow it from my Mother as I needed to feel some closeness to my family during this long hard year. The only problem was, it needed a new lampshade. I have looked all over for a shade with a country theme from California, Wisconsin, Connecticut and more states, but not able to find one. I was using a shade that I bought from Walmart in the interim, but it looked really out of place as it had a french theme and hanging beads. My Mom who is visiting me, thought, why not make our own lamp shade and came up with this idea. I think Big Red looks so much better with his new bonnet. What do you think?
