ready to drool?  Using vintage fabrics and "old wonderful things" resurrected and made into lamps and lampshades, Kathleen Caid creates one-of-a-kind period lighting fixtures that defy description.  Antique baby blankets, lace wedding dresses and ball gowns, vintage English cracker tins, Oriental vases, and figurines are now reborn as art objects that illuminate both one’s spirit and the entire room. Each lamp and shade seems to have an essence of its own – especially when lit, when the fabrics she has revived come alive with fabulous colors and sparkling beads. Caid has imbued each lamp with its own personality, giving it life and character.
