Pendleton

As the days of summer amble along, add some classic Americana decor to your home with Pendleton.  Known for their classic blankets and such, this company also offers this whimsical yet staid Horshoe Lamp and Shade.  Recycled trotter horseshoes are hand-welded into these one-of-a-kind lamps that are topped with a handmade burlap shade.  I think a pair of these would make excellent bedside lamps in a light-filled, stark, white room.  While you’re browsing for orGLAMic wares, also take a peek at the delightful Riata and Stripe Easy Care blankets made of ‘eco-wise’ wool.
