Back in 1976, I was attending college at SMC in Santa Monica. My badminton partner and friend, Gene Chan and I, decided to attend a concert to be held at the Big A, Anaheim stadium, featuring the bands Yes, Peter Frampton, Gentle Giant, and Gary Wright. Wright was known for his hits Dream Weaver and Love is Alive, as well as using keyboards instead of guitars for his harmonic sounds. He was the 2nd act of the day right after the eclectic progressive rock act Gentle Giant and just before Peter Frampton’s Frampton Comes Alive tour & the Relayer tour featuring Yes along with a stunning Roger Dean stage set. Wright had a cool, fat sound, and it was a perfect precursor to the main acts who followed.

That is the way I feel about this Dreamweaver fixture (Product Page: http://www.affordablelamps.com/var-180b03.html) with its vanity light’s three forged iron arms support plates, blackened Copper finish, and rectangular glass plates held on by hand-woven recycled steel grips. This is a limited edition price and fixture and a good warm up act for your home décor. The Dreamweaver Contemporary Three Lamp Vanity Light from Varaluz uses 75W halogen bulbs and measures 15.75″ wide by 6.75″ tall and extends 3″ from the wall which is bargain priced at a paltry $149.00 but only until December 30th. 2010. I am glad I did not miss that great concert back in 1976.

Don’t miss out on this Dreamweaver.

There is a new player in town and its name is Worldwide Lighting that is here just in time for the New Year and the drop of the crystal ball. The Worldwide model 3206 in chrome (Product Page: http://www.affordablelamps.com/wor-3206.html) is truly a chandelier for the New Year featuring two planetary style bodies adorned with a ring of crystals and blanketed in a shimmering wire curtain. This Foyer light features twelve GU 10 watt halogen bulbs and measures 28″ in width by a staggering 96” in height.  That is eight feet of glimmering cosmological décor destined to make an impression anywhere there are foyers to be illuminated. Perfect for a twenty-foot ceiling (or larger), and ideal for large hotel lobbies, corporate boardrooms, concert halls or recent Publishers Clearing House winners who want to splurge with this glamorous, sumptuous, ecstatic and energetic fixture at a bargain of $1291.40. Think of it as a perk.

I just got the new table lamp catalog from Murray Feiss, and they have some truly exciting new product lines for this year. Murray Feiss usually carries traditional and transitional style fixtures, but with this years offering, Feiss is going for classical approach, with such families as the Gibson, Lincolndale, Bismarck, and Augustine, to name a few. With slender lines, a Greco-Roman influence coupled with design embellishments, the new Murray Feiss collection of table lamps are a smart addition to any home that yearns for traditional design values.
But not to be outdated, Feiss also has some modern table lamps, like their Independents collection, with swirling marble décor, ceramic glazes, silver leaf and sunlit copper accents, with a variety of shades and shapes that are almost terror-futuristic in style. There are new wall swing arm lamps coming as well, like the Ainsley collection, as well as torch style wall sconces that would make Caesar proud. All in all, about 78 new families of fixtures, with table lamps, floor lamps, sconces, and mirrors, that will be a welcome breadth of fresh air for new home décor for the holiday season. Summer has indeed changed to winter.

Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face
Caesars Palace, morning glory, silly human, silly human race
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place
If the summer changed to winter, yours is no
Yours is no disgrace, yours is no disgrace, yours is no disgrace
