| 1970s clown nightlight and lamp with dog and balloons |
Confession time. I've always been afraid of the dark. When we stay in hotels, I keep the bathroom light on. Every night, we sleep with the TV on without the volume. Our home is filled with nightlights.
I had a favorite nightlight back in the 1970s. It was actually a lamp. There was a cute wooden clown holding a red plastic cane and huge colorful balloons. The clown also had a little dog. Both figures had their arms outstretched. The balloons would light up as a lamp and at night you could switch the nightlight on. The nightlight was his "Balloons 10 cents" stand. I loved this lamp.
Did anyone else have the clown with balloons children's lamp and nightlight as a kid back in the 1970s? My cousin had one in the 1980s as well.
I didn't have one but always wanted one!
ReplyDeleteI had this lamp too! I remember writing about it on my blog once. I just discovered last year that that very lamp was featured somewhat prominently on the '80s children's show "Today's Special" on Nickelodeon after seeing it in screen shots from the show. And after I blogged about my lamp, YA author Jay Asher happened to read it and said he had one too. That lamp is a great memory of my early childhood that I will never forget!
