The "Lampshade Lady" (image on left) uses classic Marimekko and other vintage fabrics and postcards from the distant past when people still sent them to friends and family from their vacation. I wonder whether the greetings sent by way of cell phone photos will have such staying power. This master of remixing teaches her craft in a just-published book: The Lampshade Lady's Guide to Lighting Up Your Life: 50 Custom Lampshades and Lamps and the fresh, though classic, bright colors in her booth made it stand out from all the rest. Find her online at Lake's Lampshades. The other brightly colored booth (shown on the right) that commanded attention had a hint of deco feel to it, but the bright colors of the frames were strictly contemporary. The reds and purples shown here are fashion-forward for the world of home furnishing, but parallel those of haute couture. The frames add the spice and are the perfect dose of color for the moment. Color is the ultimate "legal" mood enhancer, I see more of it to come.
And then there was the booth of tie-dyed clothing, (in honor of the anniversary of Woodstock - no doubt) I doubt we will be seeing that fashion in the home furnishings arena any time soon. But it was still fun to see.
