    Hi, I'm brand new to this board and hope I'm posting in the correct area.

    What I'm looking for are directions for making a lamp, preferably a floor lamp out of old pottery, dishes, bowls, whimsical cookie jars and the like. I saw one a week or so back on HGTV though I only saw the very end of the show (not sure which show either!)

    Any suggestions on where to find directions?

    Thank you in advance!

    It seems like I remember this lamp. It was a decorating show that also includes how-tos. Now I wish I had paid more attention. I have a box of goodies bound for the thriftshop but now I will have to save them to see if anyone knows the program.

    Thanks for the reminder.

    Thanks Paint & Brush for confirming that I'm not completely out of my mind,lol!

    I've been on a "mission" for the instructions since seeing a very brief glance of that lamp. I'm sure I could figure it out though would prefer something more "tried and true". Not only do I have some "fun" mismatched pottery that I can't seem to part with though also some fun, though not "useable" pieces (small chips, etc.) from my parents that would be nice to implement in some way. Sorta of a "memory" lamp for both our home and Lake house.

    If I hear or find any instructions, I'll keep you posted.

    I remember seeing a T2T segment on Dec Cents where Rob made a floor lamp using teacups and saucers, it was really cute. I believe the show aired last week. Good luck.
