The vintage industrial secret is out….

My lovely friend Suzanne, the Italian Girl in Georiga (who has marvelous photography in her Etsy shop), surprised me this weekend with snail mail!  There’s something quite nostalgic and magical about receiving a letter in the mail, don’t you think?

Inside her beautiful photography card was a useful article on vintage industrial lighting she clipped for me from Country Home.

For those curious about the fair pricing of vintage industrial lamps and cages, the article is a great guide — and who knows, you may even stumble upon a rare piece next time you are at an antique fair!

    Gorgeous lamps! Although I have to admit that you are only encouraging my desire to steal. The lab I work in has some beautiful industrial old desk lamps, and I’ve been resisting the temptation to give them a new home since I started working here a few years ago. I may crack soon, and I’ll hold you responsible!

    Rachel, I like the way your mind works! If they looked like these pics, I would steal them too.

    @chels I know what you mean, its hard to find good help these days. People now days just don’t have the work ethic they used to have. I mean consider whoever wrote this post, they must have been working hard to write that good and it took a good bit of their time I am sure. I work with people who couldn’t write like this if they tried, and getting them to try is hard enough as it is.

    I love the same chandeliers that you do. The tulip shape of the spoons is charming.
