I have always been a sucker for antiques. Growing up my grandmother has an antique store in Flint Michigan. I remember walking through the store and seeing all the wonderful house wares, furniture, toys and trinkets. One of the things that I loved most was all the antique glass. I just loved how the light would pass through the antique glass and shine what seemed like an endless rainbow of color on the walls of her store. I guess that is why I have such a passion and love for antique glass lampshades.  If you could see my house you would see a number of amazing antique glass lampshade pieces that I have collected over time. The colorful glow that represents and celebrates a time in the past. I have seen some of the newer colored glass lampshades that stores are selling now, but they just don't have the same style, character and craftsmanship as true antique glass lampshades do.

Some of the nicest antique glass lampshades I find are at stores just like my Grandmother's. I have also had great luck searching for antiques of all kinds on the internet. I like to shop on the online auction sites as well as there are some amazing deals to be found there. Pay attention to user comments, seller ratings and shipping costs when buy antiques online. Also, find out what the return policy is for all online purchases before you actually order.

I hope you find antiques of all kinds fun and exciting like I do. And, if you are in the market for an amazing lampshade I suggest you try to find an antique glass lampshade. You will love the colors, character and history they possess.
