What's Happening?...

January passed by fast and furiously didn't it and now we are already midway through the month of LOVE.

The last year was one of personal firsts as well as reaquanting myself with past passions...mountain biking, tramping & travel (Portuguese Camino), camping, alot more music gigs & dancing, roadtrips & fitness including the latest pushupchallenge

NEVER a dull moment

Don't throw out your old lampshades!

Until you have decided if it is simply the covering you dislike but love the shape! Frames are often in perfect condition and they can be reused, saving your pocket slightly and saving them being dumped.

 Contact for advice.

Leaving the biggest news until last....

After 11 years owning this wonderful niche business I have decided I want a change and more flexibility to spend time with my UK very elderly mum. So I am on the look out for a new person(s) to take the reigns and continue the art of lampshade making and teaching.

 This is not a rushed thing and it will remain Business as Usual until the right person shows up so don't refrain from placing orders!

I will still be here.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Claire
