Nature's Garden
Nature’s Garden designs and manufactures handmade paper stationery and fresh flower gifts. Their boxed pack of note cards is the primary item in the line with over 200 designs in their current catalog. They compliment that line with a selection of fresh flower accessories (stickers, magnets, night lights…). They then finish out the line with a great selection of mulberry paper gift bags, albums and journals (all available in matching designs). All of the line is in house designed and custom made so it is very unique.

Fenchel Lampshade Company
The purchase of Fenchel Lampshade Company in 1995 afforded us the opportunity to manufacture a high-quality, hand-sewn silk lampshade with an outstanding national reputation. With the Fenchel line, we became a "one-stop" shop for most lampshade buyers, offering both hardback and silk shades. Established in 1925, Fenchel's primary customers are better lighting showrooms including Lamps Plus and finer hotels including Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons.

Northland Designs
Our first brand created in 1988 with a primary product line of hardback lampshades. Northland Lampshades is now marketed under the Fenchel Lampshade brand since the acquisition of Fenchel in 1995. Northland Designs currently markets our decorative pedestals, selling primarily to furniture retailers and lighting showrooms. Northland Designs has since been expanded to include a variety of other products, including our LaFleur shade collection. Our initial entry in the craft industry, Design-A-Shade was made under the Northland Designs label. Design-A-Shade and Dec-A-Lamp are now marketed under Hollywood Lights label.
