My son has a passion for world history and geography and everything that entails. He also collects globes.
I LOVEd this idea of taking a globe (they are a dime a dozen at the thrift) and Cutting it in half ...yes, marked easily by the equator....and fashioning it into a "globe" lamp with a simple light kit.
Perfect for his desk!
And for my Thanksgiving tablescape:

Leigh,
I love that early Banana Republic look your son has going on! I used to be crazy about that look. iit is really timeless, British Colonial. Very cool idea with the globe. Love your brights for Thanksgiving too.

Leigh, I really like this idea~ So unique for someone who appreciates the old globes with the now outdated country names! I wish I could get them for cheap in this area- they are always so expensive. It is rare to find one that is reasonably priced. But, I'm always lookin'. Thanks so much for hosting once again. Cute tablescape- I like the green placemat/napkin combo used with the amber glassware. :-) Sue
A very pretty table setting. I will be serving buffet style again this year. Like the light shade made out of half of a world globe. Have seen them done before, but did not know how they held up to heat from the light bulb.
Thanks for hosting again this week.
oh my gosh, i LOVE that lamp. genius!
Great idea for the lamp. I have a friend who also loves maps and globes. that would be a perfect idea for her. thanks.
Thanks again for hosting another party. I don't know why, but I JUST NOW realized that I am not a follower! What the heck? Well, I rectified that situation!
Thanks for hosting the linky party. I love the globe idea - what a unique light.
Sorry, I didn't mean to be a "linky piggy", but I ended up double-linking & can't seem to remove one. I'm really enjoying your party!

That globe idea is perfect! My son loved that look when he was still at home too. He had maps all over his walls. Now, he has traveled the world. Your table looks so welcoming for the holiday. Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Leigh!
LOVE the globe pendant; what a great idea for a boy's room or for a library. I've got to go to better thrift shops -- never saw a globe at one.
Lovely tablescape. I REALLY like the goblets and glasses; very nice.
Happy TT... Cass
Hi Leigh, so glad I stumbled upon your party, thanks for hosting. Lots of cute ideas! Hope you don't mind, I linked up two of my posts. Figure the more the merrier. :) Stop by and visit The Tattered Tag sometime.
Your Thanksgiving table is beautiful, Leigh!
Very cool idea for a light fixture! Is that one you made or the one you saw? Very creative.
Hugs,
Kat
I found your wonderful blog from my friend Sue and her blog, Sue Bee and Butterflies. I'll be visiting everyday.
Beautiful placemats and napkins!!! I like the break away from the traditional Thanksgiving motif. Have a Happy Holiday!!!
I too love globes. I have seen them made into lamps, and into bowls. Alas, they are not a dime a dozen around here. Your tablescape is lovely. Thanks again for hosting this week.
The globe pendant is a great find...your son's room rocks! Good job on your tablescape. Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
That was a great idea Leigh. I bet he's glad to have such a creative mom.
Sorry I haven't been by in a while, and didn't get the loveseat linked up. It's been a crazy couple of weeks.
Have a great Thanksgiving!
Dawn
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, may all your wishes come true!
