New French Toile Lampshades from Roses of Yesteryear

Here up for sale is another one of my romantic, handmade lampshades. In a tube shape, this shade will add alot of romance to any room.
This shade has six panels that I embellished with a lovely french toile fabric. I finished the shade with a designer trim and a rich sparkling beaded fringe. I used soothing colors cream, lavender and pink. This shade has a soft glow when lit..Top opening measures 7.5" across. Bottom opening measures 9" across.The overall height of this shade is 11.5" tall. This includes the 2.5" beaded fringe.This shade would look nice on many styles of table lamps, up to 36" high.

Did I live in the 1920's? Lampshade designers DREAM?

I often wonder why I'm so drawn to VINTAGE. After all, my home looks like something out of a 1920's romantic movie. Maybe I was a Flapper girl in the past? I love beaded fringe, fancy fabrics, lace, feather plumes, sequins and anything BLING BLING! "Why?" I ask myself. "Why did I just fall into making ROMANTIC LAMPSHADES all thoses years ago?" What a passion I still have for them today! I've made over 300 so far......here are some of my latest.
