I showed you a few months back how to make these sweet little tea cup lamps click here to see How to...Well I have made them for 20 years now and sold them at a shop I use to work for called "Country Living" I bet I have made over 200 of these now...But you never know the home it is going to when you sell one...
Now one of my Dear friends Chari at "Happy to Design" I made one for last year, we met on RMS and became instant friends...Can you love someone you never met ?? Of course you can...I have met so many sister's on RMS and here on my blog...And I know I will never meet them this side of glory...but do so love my Sister's...So Chari told me she was leaving in June to go to Texas to see her Family and how her Mama loved roses and anything to do with tea's...
So right away I emailed her a few photos to show her I still have a few things left to make her a sweet little tea cup lamp...Do you think I have enough shades girls??? This is only one container...I have 4 of these still filled...
Oh My !! and tea cups and saucers..Well she emailed me back and just said her mama love pink...OH JOY!! my favorite color to work with...But her living room was more Burgundy.... 
Now this is the lamp I made for Chari's mama...you see how sweet the little birds nest and bird is in the cup....
So here it is in California all ready to be shipped to Colorado... This was in April...
Now here we are in Texas with Chari's Mama opening it up...she had not a clue that Chari had custom ordered this for her...
Now girls!! this was by far the BIGGEST pay day I ever got on my tea cups lamps...just look at that beautiful smile Chari's Mama has on her face...this just made my day when she send me these pictures of her Mama's smile...I just felted my ole heart skip a beat when I opened this email from her...Oh Girl I love ya...You just made my week my friend.....
The one thing I will always remember about my own Mama was her smile...she also would light up like a Christmas tree over the littlest treasure...Chari your mama is beautiful my friend...The BIG smile says it all...
No matter what you are doing today take the time to make someone smile...it will make your own heart feel so HAPPY...No you don't have to make them a lamp...but sometimes just a kind word will change the day for someone and put a smile in their heart!!
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY " my Dear friend...ps since I did this post I have gotten to meet Chari in real life just this month in Vegas...Dreams really do come true... I hope to be back to blogging by next week...am very weak still and sleep alot ha ha!! Hey but I lost 11 pounds but don't recommend this kind of diet ha ha!! Love you guys and THANK YOU all from the bottom of my heart for all your prayers...Hey they seems to work just GREAT...So now would you pray for Len to hire a house keeper for me lol!!
Until next time from my mountain top to yours,
Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria

Hi Gloria. Those are the cutest little lamps.You do such a wonderful job on them.
Beautiful.
Oh Gloria, I love this post. That little teacup lamp is definitely the most precious little lamp in the whole world. So perfect for her with the pink and burgundy. Her smile is truly wonderful. Such a sweet and thoughtful gift. I hope you get back to normal soon and that your mom gets to feeling better also. I will continue to keep you both in prayers. Love you, Hugs, Marty
I remember reading this post, Sis! I too, was touched when I saw the pictures of Chari's mother. And I was in awe of the lamp. I wouldn't know how to wire something if it jumped up and bit me! ;-D. The lamp is just lovely.
I am glad you are feeling a little bit better. If I lived closer to your mountain I would be popping up at your door with my feather duster!!
Prayers and good wishes coming your way!
xoxo

Great news that you are feeling well enough to post. Looking forward to more from you in the future, but please take care of yourself and get completely well!!! Sally
THIS is both FUN and WONDERFUL ! What a perfect post for Chari's celebration! The little lamps are sweet.
Oh Dear Gloria,
You always make my day with your notes even when your sick!!! That lamp is just gorgeous, you really are so talented! The smile on Chari's Mom says it all! What an absolutely perfect post for her party! I love it! And now for that housekeeper that you need. Tell Harold he can double up on his duties. hehe. And eleven pounds? Girl, your already a tiny little thing! I think I have lost 8, but I had a few to spare.
Hugs and keep taking naps,
They sure are helping me too.

Oh yes, look at that wonderful smile and it must have felt so heartwarming to know that your gorgeous tea cup lamp put it there:-) Just precious!!! Your tea cup lamps are so adorable, what a great idea. I must show them to my mom, being the crafty person she is, she will probably want to make some for other people:-)
Hope you're feeling much better soon, my friend. xoxo
My goodness! It's great to hear from you -- hope you're feeling better and stronger each and every day.
This is absolutely adorable and it's so great to see the smile of the person it was made for! I posted a link to your instructions on CraftersCommunity.com - you're sure to get a lot of visits from there! ;)

Hi Gloria,
I absolutely love your teacup lamps! I saw a Rose Chintz teacup lamp somewhere that you had made; perhaps it was Chari's. Loved it and I may try to make one myself following your directions. Have a wonderful weekend.
Blessings,
Sandi

What a pretty little gift you made for Chari's mom. Looks like you covered all the bases to make something she would love.

This is just so precious, just like you!

Those lamps are so sweet. What a great idea. You are one talented lady and that smile was well deserved.
Chari's mama is smiling because that tea cup lamp is gorgeous, Gloria, and yes, she is beautiful!. You are truly talented. I am so happy to see you blog. Are you feeling better now? Hope so...Christine
Love!!! Your post on flying your plane over at Susan's BNOTP. What a great post on you. I really enjoyed seeing you with that plane. Hope you and your husband are doing well.
Just discovered your blog through Between Naps On The Porch. Love your story on how you began to fly. I also am a pilot and love to fly. I just spent a few days at Sun N Fun with the Nintey-Nines in Lakeland, Fl. Are you a Ninety-Nine? Love your blog! Hope you get well soon. Blue skies.

What a great post. So you're the lady that makes that beautiful little Tea Lamp in Chari's bedroom. I can understand the big smile on her Mom's face. Who wouldn't be thrilled to get one? You do lovely work!
Hi, Gloria! My name is Gloria too! I just read your post here, the making of the beautiful little lamp for your friend's Mom. It was adorable! And you can see that the Mom was THRILLED with your creation! I also just read about your learning to fly on Susan's BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH. WOW! You were truly a brave girl! And your plane was gorgeous. I am sure that you look at the pictures of it with much love. I am also sad to hear that you have not been well. I will pray for you, plus say this one right now: "Good St. Anthony, please come around, something has been lost (dear Gloria's good health) and must be found." God bless you, Gloria.
Best regards,
Gloria
I am thankful on this Sunday to know you are feeling more chipper ~ we need you in our lives Ms. Gloria!
I just love those lamps! It's such a great idea. Now I know what I'll be doing next week...browsing through antique shops for pretty tea cups.
So sorry you are not feeling well, Thats crummy when things don't feel good. I have been spring cleaning and not posted, but next week I will be back if that dang carpul tunnel in my wrist gets better, you always perk up my day, and it's just not the same when you are not blogging...take care sis...I'm always here for you
Good morning Gloria....
You must be feeling better...I'm soooo glad!
I actually remember this post! That little lamp is just ADORABLE.... I LOVE it...

Gloria,
Sorry to hear you have been ill. Being sick is not a fun way to lose weight. I hope that you are getting better (even if slowly). Take it easy. We miss you, but you need to take care of yourself & get better.
I love, love, love this little lamp you made for Chari's mom. It is a great post to reshare for Chari's party. Especially since Mother's Day is in a few weeks. The little lamp is just the sweetest.
I can see why you have made so many of them. They are fabulous.
Well take care & we look forward to you blogging soon.
Kim
hey Gloria! Hope your are feeling better, girl!
Those are the cutest little lamps! You are a sweety.
Hugs
Rose
Well, this post really made me smile! No, not because of the birthday's or the ADORABLE lamp, but because it means you are feeling better sweet girl! Doin' the Bootscootin' Boogie all over the place! :)
Please don't try and do too much! (Yeah, right!) Please? Seriously!!
Gloria,
I am so glad you are feeling better! I enjoyed this post so much and want to say thank you for having a tutorial on how to make these beautiful lamps!Thanks again and have a blessed day!

Hey, Gloria!
What a super birthday gift--or anytime gift--idea this is. You are so talented, and it's so darling.
Hey Miss Gloria,
I just needed to stop over and tell you I am thinking of you and hoping each day your feeling a bit better. It takes awhile to get your strength back, boy do I know that now. I know your resting and being a good patient for Harold. hehe.
Hugs my dear,
Cindy
Dear Gloria! Oh, I'm so proud to see you've posted! I've been praying for you, Dear One! I'm hoping and praying you're feeling much better now. But you take care of yourself and please don't do too much. How sweet of your grand daughter to let us know about you.

You must have a very happy heart because you have made me feel better many times since I started blogging...I know that many others would say the same thing. I've been away so much that I didn't realize you had been ill...I'm so sorry that I didn't know and didn't send you well wishes. I hope you are doing better.
