  Yep!  And in using mix-n-match teacups you can assure you have a one-of-a-kind lamp.

  Agree with Lib and May. My first thought was how easy that would be to recreate with a $10 lamp from Kmart

  Just because I can doesn't mean I want to

  It'd be hard to make the hole through the center of the teacups without breaking them though.  While I'm usually all about diy, that's a bit of a different story

  He's the single greatest thing I've done in my life and reminds me daily of how fun (and funny) life can be.  He's turned out pretty swell for having such a heartless and evil mother.

  That's my thought as well.

  You use a special bit for ceramics. They're ~$4.00.

  Either way, there's no way I'd spend ~ $110 on a single lamp for a kid's room.

  I wouldn't buy the shade.  There is a plain one I would get at Target for $12.
  

  Just the lamp.

  There's no way I'd spend ~$80 on a lamp for a kid's room.  Or any room, for that matter.

  I'd buy it - and I did get a floor lamp and shade from PBK for our nursery. I say if you like it and can afford it why not?

  There are lots of things that I like and can afford, but I don't buy them just because I think they're cute.
