Hello AT,
It's true. An embarrasing admission for sure, but a good lamp is hard to find. Ever since Crate & Barrel discontinued their beautiful gumdrop lamp (seasons ago!) my quest for the perfectly plump lamp has left me wanton. Which is where Tidy Cat comes in. Have you seen the ad? Have you seen this lamp?! Where can I get it? Help!
Thanks, Sandra

not exact, but an idea.
I bought mine at a small chain store in California called
Scandinavian Designs. They don't sell it anymore. This was three years ago. http://www.scandinaviandesigns.com/
I was at the C & B outlet in Oakland, CA in November and there were still about 3 of those red lemon drop lamps left selling for $15 or $20 each. Not sure if they're still there or not.
Call the Crate & Barrel outlet in Cranbery, NJ (it's the biggest one). They are very nice there, I'm sure they can let you know if there are any floating around the store.
i have one of said crate & barrel gumdrop lamps that i no longer use. it is blue. i'd be willing to take your best offer for it.
Hi,
Check this lamp at JC Penney out. It comes in some great colors. It's not the same as the one you want but it's pretty nice, I think.

Thanks for all the recommendations! I went so far as to email Crate & Barrel and though they were super-friendly they basically told me I was SOL. *sigh*. The outlet store is a great idea though, Jean!
And Sara, thank you for the offer on the gumdrop lamp. I would gladly buy it only I'm not sure that blue would work in my place = \ But any fellow ATers out there looking to unload a previously loved green gumdrop lamp, I'm your girl ; )
Cheers!
I know Shelteriffic had some stuff listed from Target...this is all I can find right now...

It's a little different. But I think you might like this vitage Murano on eBay.

Sorry, it's vintage not vitage.
I have never used this website... but hey have some great inexpensive lamps: $75- 200.00.

It is worth a look. Good luck!

I was just walking by The Door Store in Brooklyn and saw a VERY similar lamp in the window. As has been previously mentioned, The Door Store has a pretty useless website, particularly when it comes to their accessories. If you're not in the NY area you might try giving them a call -- they may be able to send a photo. Good luck!
I was just at Home Depot on 23rd last week and they have some in a very similar shape, they are very fetching, chic glass/ceramic with metallic finishes about 100$.
hey while were here anyone know about any STANDING lamps that are under $100 and aren't completely boring? and not IKEA? ( Im burnt out on IKEA right now)
Sara, I would really like to buy that blue Crate&Barrel gumdrop lamp you no longer use. How about $40? Let me know how to reach you directly. I am at katerina@earthlink.net thanks!
Hey Sandra, I remembered that someone on here was looking for a lamp that looked like this - this is more of double-gourd lamp - but it's pretty reasonable -not exactly the lamp in the ad, but close???
