Undergoing An Upgrade!

-
My apologies to you all - I am going to be upgrading/remodeling my site. 

 Things will probably look a bit weird for the next few weeks as I play around with adding shopping carts etc. 

 Once I'm done, I'll share what's next on the horizon.

 Thanks for your patience and see you in a few weeks (or sooner)!

I've done alright making World Globe Lampshades and Bowls for my business Re-covered Treasures (see my blog  www.Re-coveredTreasures.com and my Etsy store ReCoveredTreasures4U ).    But over the years I've received lots of questions about how to make them, so I thought I would share that information. World Globe Lampshade with crystal trim So this post will be the beginning of a basic tutorial on how to choose World Globes to make World Globe Lampshades and Bowls,  which I will then do a follow-up posts on how to actually make the lampshades and bowls.
