It's usually about this time of the year that I am so ready for a road trip. Aren't you too???? I've had a few small road trips to antique centers nearby, but everyday off it seems to snow or sleet. And of course, tomorrow is my day off and we are getting the BIG one. So I guess I will have to be happy with Ebay and my regular favorite web sites.
The spring classes have pretty much filled up. I've got a full house on Saturday.Great to see such interest. Some emails have thanked me for being so generous with my knowledge and sharing tips to help them make lampshades. I am happy to pass my knowledge on; there is plenty of business out there. No worry there. And we all have different styles. If there is one thing I have learned in all my lampshade years, is that everyone beauty is in the eyes of..... you know.
How are you drum shade makers doing? Have you had success in making some funky drum shades. Send me some emails and I can post them (I think). I just made a great one for a client with her washed out turquoise squiggly chenille. Size was nice, 18" top by 18 bottom x 12 high. Very modern with a soft country feel.
The shade on this post is a 5" top x 8" bottom x 6" high. Sweet Doggie needlpoint with rose vintage french in other panels and to die for Houles rich rose gimp.$95. Hex Clip. Call me at the shop if you need it. 802-325-6308
