Thank you so much everyone for all your kind and sweet comments on our headboard. It was overwhelming and really touched my heart.
This week I would like to share our new lampshades with you. While browsing one of our favorite lighting stores in town, Gary and I saw these green lampshades that caught our eye, the green was so beautiful to us.
While reading the tag we saw that the shade was made my hand with real cocoa (chocolate tree) leaves and was eco-friendly.
Wow! we had never seen anything like it before. So what do I do?, well I smell the shade of course, the tag did say made with real cocoa. LOL, LOL.
We had been wanting to find new colorful lampshades and when we saw these well you know (we had to buy them) and here they are in all their glory.

Love those cool green shades. Beautiful and unusual, I would have definitely sniffed them, too. xo
ReplyDeleteThose are some really great lampshades, and I have never heard of using cocoa leaves - very cool! Hope you can stop by the enchanted oven to say hi.

The lampshades are beautiful!! I love how they add color to your already beautifully decorated room!! Love the cool crisp shades in the background too.. I want some like yours..
ReplyDeleteBTW did the shades smell like cocoa?
Love the shades. Yes, that store always has amazing things. Still in love, love, love with your ceiling fans!
ReplyDeleteThose are unique and beautiful. I love the intensity of the green with the blue of the sofas. Same intensity I think...terrific combination.
ReplyDeleteYour lamp is so cool and unique, love the look of those beautiful leaves..It is amazing how it looks when the lamp is on...
ReplyDeleteThey add such a personal look to your lamps. Love the green!
ReplyDeleteDearest Elizabeth and Gary,
ReplyDeleteYou both hit the jackpot! This is a unique and obviously a very rare find. I've never seen anything like those; good for you that you sniffed them out and adopted them!
Enjoy it and we still fight the rain, rain and more rain. Running the wet vac in Pieter's workshop. We will have to add broader gutters that will not overflow when it pours down like these past weeks. More pipes down too. If you own a home, it's always something!
Hugs to you,
Mariette
So pretty, but I couldn't stop looking at your ceiling fan...
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Cindy
Gorgeous, Elizabeth! Now let's talk about that amazing ceiling fan in the background!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth - I love those shades!! Such a beautiful shade of green.

Elizabeth, your shades are so unique. I love them! I didn't realize the cocoa leaves were so large. The fact that they are handmade makes them even more beautiful. Laughed that you smelled them. Sounds like something I would do. lol! Thanks for sharing with SYC.

The most unusual shades I have seen. Love the look light on or off, but the light on gives them so much depth and texture. Perfect for your already lovly room.
