    You have no idea how badly I'd love to win this. When I moved into my boyfriend's place, my first question was "So...how attached are you to your lampshades?" They're so ugly, but I have yet to find a suitable replacement. I love the pattern on this one: http://www.etsy.com/listing/119881784/drum-lamp-shade-lampshade-pendant-links?ref=shop_home_feat

    Liked their page on FB - so glad you blogged about them so more people can enjoy their goods. it's hard to choose; I love the malachite shade to make such a statement, but the gray grey striped shade is perfect for a lamp base I already have. Then again, the map shade would be perfect for my boyfriend in his own space.

    I love the lamp shades from Cruel Mountain. I have two of them and they really do make the room. If you visit their website you can also see homemade soaps. These soaps are wonderful. I bought some for gifts at Christmas but I also buy for myself. I hate to be greedy but I think the thin blue strip would look great for my son's dorm room. Here's hoping for my third Cruel Mountain lamp shade!
