Years and years ago, my beloved grandmother, Memaw, gave me this antique blue, bubbled Atlas Mason Jar. I have no idea how old it is or how valuable. I made it into a lamp and have had it by my bed for years. It has potpourri inside. I bought a new shade for it 6 years ago when we moved here to Mansfield. I have looked at that ugly shade for 6 years. I wish I would have taken a before and after picture! I was shopping for ideas in World Market and saw a burlap shade with a black stenciled fleur-de-leis on it. Hmmmm! I knew what to do to mine! I thought covering the shade with burlap might be tricky because of its shape, so I just wrapped it in twine. I found the stencil in Home Depot by the paint! Americana makes the stencil (Traditional Medallion). I love my lamp now.
