So excited to be working with the lovely Kelly from Spindle and Company to present our first lampshade making workshop for 2020!

This will be a 3 hour class where you will learn how to make a cylindrical lampshade in a beautiful fabric of your choice. The workshop will be held at The Wheelhouse, 410 Conadilly St, Gunnedah where Kelly will ensure we have plenty of table space for making, plus drinks and nibbles to keep your creative minds and hands humming!

I would love to meet you and help you craft a beautiful handmade lampshade for your home. Class sizes are limited so for more details and to book your spot go

Custom Orders are Closed
but...our On-line Shop is Open!

Farm life is busy and the days just never seem long enough. I’m sure many of you feel the same!

Therefore, in order to maintain some level of sanity (!) our custom order lampshades are available for limited periods only throughout the year. We will advise the opening dates over social media, or if you are subscriber to our newsletter, you will receive advance notice. It has been an extremely hard decision to make, we hope you understand.

The good news is that our On-line Shop is open 24/7! Here you can access a range of our beautiful lampshades and lamp bases throughout the year. 

If you have a gift voucher (lucky you!) this can be used at check-out in our on-line shop, or you can redeem as a custom order when we re-open these.

Remember… sign up to our newsletter from our homepage if you would like advance notice of custom order opening periods, new products in the shop and little tips and tricks!

Thank you again for all your support! It’s fabulous to know that so many of you are happy to support our little bush business.

Lampshade Size

If you are unsure of the shade size you require, please click through to our blog post for some helpful information about how to choose the right size shade.

Lampshade Types

Table and Floor Lamps

A table lampshade sits on a lamp base which is placed either on a table or sits on the floor if the base is tall. The light fitting sits at the bottom of the shade.

Ceiling Pendant

A pendant lampshade is where the shade hangs from a light fitting on the ceiling, usually above a dining table or kitchen bench. The light fitting sits at the top of the shade.

Lampshade Shapes

Drum Lampshades

Drum lampshades are the most popular as the shape is contemporary and suits many different decor styles. 

A drum shade is basically a cylinder that has the same diameter measurement across the top of the shade as the bottom.

Tapered / Empire Lampshades

Empire or “tapered shades” are more traditional. The diameter measurement of the top of the shade is smaller than the measurement at the bottom, creating a tapered effect.

We offer three different sized Empire shades.
