Natural Hemp Roller Blinds at French General

9-21-roller1.jpgAdorn your windows. We will always regret the departure of French General from our city to Los Angeles, but at least their online.

We just noticed a really nice new offering from them, Natural Hemp Roller Blinds. Made of environmentally responsible hemp, with a soft, sheer natural look, we like, although we're not sure how the "roller" fits into these blinds.

They look like "romans" to us. (via TreeHugger)

I wonder if it is a matter of "lost in translation"--perhaps the little wheel mechanism that is in a roman blind is considered a "roller" to the French?

At least *they're* online. I'm sorry, I couldn't stop myself.

Holy moly! I was really excited to click through on that one b/c that would look perfect in my kitchen. But what a price! Sigh, this is why I keep going back to Ikea. Less than 10% the price, it's just too bad they don't do hemp.

so does this mean i sounded like an uneducated, unsophisticated american? i surely didn't mean for it to come out like that, because i am neither.

Anne in (Reno) : I felt the same thing. After going to their website, and navigating forever just to find these "hemp shades" I looked at the price, and closed the window fast.

Hemp shouldn't cost that much should it? Darn, i wish IKEA had these too!
