I went on a search to find a replacement for the missing sleeve for our chandelier, you know the type of sleeves that make the bulbs look like  candles, well I just discovered this site that sells some extraordinary candle sleeves take a look at their beƒore and aƒters.




To see more and for a retailer near you  if you've lost your sleeve.

An unknown chair

I picked this up at curb side several years ago. I thought it was a sin against vintage for it to rot in a dump.
Recycle, reuse, renew.

Cane back and buttons secure the cushion

Faux tiger fur,  leather arms

Bamboo or is it Rattan?

If anyone has any information on this chair, I'd be grateful if you'd please take the time to enlighten me.
