I love love love those Goccia H teardrop fixtures - I would kill to have those in my kitchen!

does anyone have a good source for pendant lampshades (not hardwired)?

I finally found the invention I've been looking for! I WILL have my chandelier, dammit! It turns a socket to an electrical outlet.

Mrs on, if I find a pendant/chandelier/whatever I want that's for hardwiring, it's not too difficult (and quite cheap) to make a regular plug for it. IKEA sells the socket kits for pendants that you plug in for cheaper than anywhere, and then you can use anything for a shade. I've made several lamps with one of those.
