Popular Providence People of Rhode Island were growing increasingly uneasy. For months, rumors had been circulating about the Breakers Mansion in Newport and the trio of Providence interior designers working within its walls. 

No one knew what was really happening inside, but all could feel the incredible imaginative presence of talented interior designers at work, because this was the first time in 100 years that the décor of the mansion had changed.

Jenna, Natalie, and Spencer were three established Providence, Rhode Island interior designers. They each had adorable dogs - Jenna had Charlie a cream colored Frenchie, Natalie had Lucy a strawberry brown Cocker Spaniel, and Spencer had Daisy, an adorable gray colored Mini-Schnauzer.

The trio had been working on a new interior design project for the Breakers Mansion in Newport for the past few months and during the whole project their dogs never left their side because they were Official Registered Service Dogs.

The team had worked tirelessly to come up with the perfect design for the mansion and were almost finished when they encountered an unexpected problem. One of the items needed for their design was a rare lamp that could only be found in a small shop somewhere in the state of Rhode Island.

Jenna, Natalie and Spencer had all agreed that having the lamp was essential for the project, but now they were running out of time.

The team decided to split up and search for the lamp across the state. Jenna and Natalie headed to the shops while Spencer stayed behind to work on the design.

As Jenna and her little dog Charlie headed north to search the shops from Burrillville to Woonsocket, Natalie  and little Lucy searched the shops from Warwick to Narragansett.

Finally, Natalie and Little Lucy dog found the perfect lamp at a little shop called Shaw Pottery in Wyoming, Rhode Island. But when Natalie went to purchase it, she was told the custom made display model wasn't for sale and that the shop had already sold that lamp to someone else.

Jenna and Natalie returned to the mansion, empty-handed and discouraged.

However, when they arrived back at the Breakers Mansion, they found Spencer's Daisy, his little Schnauzer playing in the closet when she dragged out a box with an equally beautiful lamp for the design, right on the Breakers Mansion estate. 

Jenna, Natalie, and Spencer all looked at each other and smiled, realizing the moral of their story...

A lamp in the hand is better than two in the catalog.
