Mad for Mod already started a list of free laminate samples, I'll try to pull a larger list together, so we don't inundate one company with moochers. :DMini Dorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13767155702097390671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2931502509666334561.post-27287620110950645212012-09-03T10:22:22.979-07:002012-09-03T10:22:22.979-07:00Hi Fran!

Pricey but I think I will get a couple. <br /><br />For freebies like this I do feel a little guilty, but I think of it as client retention. When we eventually get out of the renters loop, The Shade Store is on the top of my list for window coverings. Plus, my dad and his girlfriend just remodeled their house and are looking for blinds. I showed them the samples and they are headed to The Shade Store showroom in SF. Poof, Catholic guilt be gone. :D<br /><br />Can't wait to see your new lamp. :)Mini Dorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13767155702097390671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2931502509666334561.post-42344135985053512992012-09-02T23:25:50.303-07:002012-09-02T23:25:50.303-07:00Look what you started!

I...As stated before, the price is definitely right! It is so helpful to see the samples you received in the group shot to judge the size/amount of pattern a sample will contain; the website doesn't show that clearly. For the sheer ones, you could put a solid color under them (fabric, paper, origami paper?) and have a rainbow of looks!<br /><br />I felt a tiny bit guilty about getting so much for free that I looked around the site for other items. I found shade pulls -- so beautiful, with great potential as pendant "lights". Not cheap, but they're having 10% off and free shipping til the middle of the month so I ordered one and will report when it arrives.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!Franhttp://www.etsy.com/shop/FranMadeMinisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2931502509666334561.post-92224616403886411102012-09-02T10:33:52.408-07:002012-09-02T10:33:52.408-07:00Glad you like them!

But the second order was mostly drapery samples and I had over 40 in my cart with no mention of limit. Both orders were 100% free with free US shipping, not sure if they charge for International shipping though.<br /><br />I'm planning to try to make roman blinds with some of the "wood" samples. Can't wait to see how you use them. :DMini Dorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13767155702097390671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2931502509666334561.post-81818040516726058352012-09-02T10:21:52.721-07:002012-09-02T10:21:52.721-07:00Ah ha, I knew someone had mentioned them before.

Generally I just try to stick to fat quarters/remnants, but it's almost always cotton with some wonky pattern for quilting. I'm psyched for something thick enough to be a rug! <br />And this is in the budget. $0. If it's free, it's for me!TinyFixationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16410438428505026649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2931502509666334561.post-55692048497627484522012-09-01T13:27:31.814-07:002012-09-01T13:27:31.814-07:00I had mentioned these samples but I got them from ...I had mentioned these samples but I got them from locally from a secondhand store...actually paid for them!!

I did order some of the fabric/drapery samples specifically to make pillows/linens so I'll post when those arrive. I'm really digging the woven fabrics that will make great outdoor rugs too. I'm "trying" to be more crafty, but I'll need the experts to lead the way on more ideas for these. :PMini Dorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13767155702097390671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2931502509666334561.post-85297305280071681932012-09-01T12:42:06.486-07:002012-09-01T12:42:06.486-07:00Ohh!

I wonder if you can make duvets or pillows out of the translucent one's--sewing it onto another fabric, etc. Sure, we all know that I won't do that but some of the crafty folks will.
