They really are. I have a floor lamp whose shade I hate. Never really thought about buying a shade I like. Anyway to make a long story short, I was in Hobby Lobby the other day and saw a frame (found out later it was a frame for a topiary). It was metal and had three spokes that swirled around the inside. The idea I got sprung to life. Bought it then went to the place I use for new lampshades (custom shades). We worked with several different ideas. Then one lady said, why not set a cylinder inside the frame. Perfect idea. Now I will have a floor lamp that looks like an ancient lamplighter. Under it will be my oriental Hibiscus plant and will use a low watt grow light. Yes, quiltingis just great. How else could I have envisioned that kind of a light for a floor lamp. Will send picture when shade is finished and I pick it up. I'm so excited, but have to get busy have a table runner that has to go to UPS tomorrow. Bye for now!
