Today my dear Mary and I mark our 19th wedding anniversary. Nineteen years! What a wonderful, dear wife I have.
We can honestly say that our marriage has never been better. How God has blessed us so far beyond what we deserve.
But we didn’t know what to do to celebrate. Take a trip to Marshall, Michigan? Take a day trip somewhere else? Nah, it wouldn’t work this year. I had a short weekend, having to work Saturday and today. So we were kind of lukewarm on any plans.
Then about a week ago, we were browsing a yard sale and came across this floor lamp. We fell in love with it and knew it would look great in our living room
So, we spent the money we would have spent on a trip on the lamp instead. We think we made the right decision!
Below are some more detail photos of the lamp. The bird experts of the family don’t know what kind of birds are represented around the rim of the bowl. Let us know if you have a guess.

Congrats on 19 years!! Not only have you made each other very happy, your family loves you and you managed to bring 4 wonderful children into the world. Great job!
Love,
Jeff
FIve bucks says those are cranes. You see them a lot in art deco/art nouveau fixtures, probably because both periods had a certain amount of Asian influence, and those Asians love ‘em some cranes.
They are Imperial Pheasants!
I LOVE art deco and art nouveau! The lamp is wonderful - and so is 19 years of marriage! My parents are celebrating their 25th this year.
God’s blessing to you both.
