Fun fact: all of the shades in the “Crayon” series are made from recycled frames. eBay and thrift stores are amzing places to look when looking for an unusual shade shape. Next up is my eggplant purple shade with a lavender trim and yellow gold fringe! #lampshade #lampshades #recycle #refurbish #victorian #victorianstyle #victoriandecor #boho #bohemian #indoordecor #handmade #buylocal #rhodeisland #crafts #sewing
