Hey Ginny,

The clock is a vintage Seth Thomas that I bought at the antiques show at Pier 52 in New York about 6 months ago.

Hope that helps!

[...] 1. When looking for a good lampshade, don’t be afraid to check out the usual suspects. As Cat says, check out “LOWES — I found the exact shade you’re describing for around $12 about a month ago! It’s a beige linen shade and it works fantastically with a wooden lamp I have. ” See the lamp that needs a shade here. [...]

Sorry I don’t have advice! But was curious, where’d you get the alarm clock? I love it!

How about a porcupine quill lampshade?

I totally agree with the Target suggestion….I’ve gotten many for my clients and shop there and never have been disappointed!

If you do live in NYC, also try Surprise!Surprise! on 3rd avenue, and I think 12th Street. I’m always running around the city trying everywhere, and in frustration I go to the little crowded store near me and it’s usually there : /

Also, Gracious Home has some nice ones, but can get pricey…

Target I know has multiple iterations of plain jane shades in oval, round, and occasionally other shapes. If one Target doesn’t have it, another may. Also, our local Lowe’s has lovely simple lampshades for reasonable prices. Good luck!

Also, as an afterthought, you get an astonishing list of results when you search “lampshade” on Etsy. (I LOVE the budgie lampshade, even if it is $150. Ouch! But so cute…

I agree with K-Mart. They’ve got some surprisingly nice lamp things (including lamps) in there.

I hate to send people to Ye Olde Barn (so predictable!), but they are good for the occasional basic …

This linen drum shade in bisque would be nice with that lamp (nice find, by the way!):
