We recently had a request for the Cammie, a chandelier I had taken out of production. I was actually glad to bring it back because I think it's really beautiful. I like it because it has a quiet glitziness and a delicate yet important presence.


It was inspired by a Swedish design and the original one had a much darker finish. We decided to update it in a lighter gold and our master beader,  Brooke, reworked the application of the square crystals which are set into the three horizontal bands.


Since we are having a truly hot, muggy summer, this chandelier made us feel light and cool!

 

 I have given you a very little taste of the goings on of the fabulous Rebecca Rebouche!

 Please take the time to visit her blog so you can keep up with all the exciting things she is doing. So check it out, and visit her website. I know you will like what you see.


I love this little piece of wisdom from Rebecca called "How to Love." So I will leave you with that thought.

Congratulations Rebecca on your huge fame and success!

When my friend Linda Longo, editor of EnLIGHTENment Magazine told me she was coming to New Orleans for a convention, I was thrilled! I'd been following Linda for quite awhile and was always very impressed with her work reporting on the latest developments in the lighting industry.
I was very excited when Linda arrived at my workshop! After reading her many articles on the cutting edge technology and new advancements in lighting design, I sometimes feel like a throw-back to simpler times when everything was made by hand, the way our lighting still is. So I was not sure what Linda might think about what we do.
Linda was so gracious and so interested in how we work. She loved that we still draw all our production drawings by hand. And that all of our lighting is wired and hand finished in our studio by the greatest group of artists and technical people ever. That we take care and time to make each piece special.



It was fun to walk down the street with Linda from our workshop to our showroom, which is one block down, and to show her how we create decorative vignettes to complement our lighting. We have interior designers who assist our clients with the home furnishings we carry and we offer complete interior design services as well. We also make a special point to show the work of many gifted New Orleans artists, like Jamie Meeks, Lesley Wells,  Michelle Tullis and Craig McMillan.

Well it has been almost two years since I last posted! Where has the time gone? So much has happened!Stay tuned because lots has been going on, and I'm getting ready to tell all about it!
