On June 18, 2008, my mother, best friend and partner in this business,
Lou Hoddinott, lost her battle with cancer.
She fought bravely and courageously to the very end. She will always be my hero. I can only hope to be half the person she was.
Some of our most popular items were her designs and she alone made all the roses by hand. Every lampshade was embellished by her specifically for each lamp.
I can not imagine continuing on with this business without her. My heart is broken. For now and until further notice all business has been suspended.
