I had a lot of reasons, looking back, to be wild. When I finished nursing school I had two older kids and a baby in the belly. It's been a busy life. <br />Yep- good eye! That's a little mermaid lamp. Mr. Moon got it for me. I love that chair too. I got it in an antique shop in Denver. They said it was a Southern lady's chair without arms so that the billowy skirts could flow about unhampered.
