Special Guest Post: by Ladies and Gentlemen

Light bulbs: You light up my life

Dylan and Jean here again from Ladies and Gentlemen

We know we should be replacing all of our bulbs with compact fluorescents, but we can't help but be enticed by the glorious forms of vintage incandescents…the intricate filaments, the beautifully diverse shapes, the packaging...

Our bulb love began when we came across these unique projector bulbs (complete with original packaging too…). Until we come up with some awesome way to use them (maybe a giant hanging lamp!), they're piled up in our glass bowl for simple display.

We gathered some cute everyday light bulbs with great packaging for our L&G Vintage Shop. Come see!
