Collecting Irmi - Clown Switchplate


Hello friends!
I started collecting sweet vintage wood nursery accessories a few years ago.
Created by Irmi, also known as Nursey Originals and Nursery Plastics.
They created switchplates, lamps, wall hangings, mobiles and more.


I love the sweet hand painted style and colors and have managed to find several pieces that I am excited to share with you!
I have yet to find a permanent place to display my collection together due to how much space the lamps can take, but I dearly love them all!


This happy little clown always makes me smile!
Do you have an Irmi piece or remember them back in the 50's - 70's?


Wishing you a happy day, Lindsey

  7. I think you were the first person to introduce me to Irmi and I began my online love affair with it! I finally have some some of my own now through blogging friends since I never find it local! ♥

  8. I never knew what an Irmi was until blogging. I have one I bought 50 years ago, it's a pink lamp for a child. I gave it to my daughter at one point but seeing how I loved them she returned it and I use it for my bedside lamp.
