I Have A Secret Giveaway - Hint no. 2

I just received the most special Christmas gift ... a lamp
Hard to imagine a lamp being all that meaningful of a gift right ?


See if you can guess my secret for this Wednesday's Giveaway ( think metaphorically ! )

So, I get a little nutty when it comes to antique white marble and alabaster anything.
When I spied this darling  lamp from Lynn at Paris Hotel Boutique several months ago
I knew I needed to get it !
Needing better lighting in my bedroom, I lovingly placed on one of my bedside tables.
It was so pretty, but couldn't help but notice that
the charm of the room seemed a little unbalanced. 
 I needed another one but remembered Lynn informing me she had no luck herself.
( And she's a rockstar at that sort of thing ! )
 Certainly  wasn't holding my breath in my own attempt.

And just as I thought Ebay, Alameda, nada, nothing.   So I forgot about it.
But then, a week before Christmas,
a brown box arrived from Austin Texas

Another one like mine ??? Could it be ???
YES ~ another lamp !

Obviously from the same maker but unique in it's own right
and more importantly, they were the PERFECT compliment to each other
... better than identical !  

Meant to shine together again ...

I love how they go together and yet don't match perfectly. What a fantastic gift.

I am going to stick with my first guess. You-Cinderella, a beautiful alabaster lamp was all alone looking for her perfect mate. Then one day the perfect Prince Charming arrived when you least expected it- a beautiful pair to light each other's path.

Oh Lisa ~ I do love a good guessing game! I'm going with the idea of 'opposites attract' and the strong attraction never waivers even if it is 30 years before the magic fully explodes into a reality of love never to be neutralized again.
