Solar Power Lamp
Linda,
One option (and I have been wanting to do this) is to remove all fabric from an older shade and just have the metal showing, if they like the industrial look. But, I want to take it one step further and either wrap the shade frame with moss (wire it on) and let ivy grow on it like a topiary, or you could even weave and wrap wire or jute twine around the shade. Lots of options. Hope this helps. 🙂 ~Barb

Solar Power Lamp
Debbie, mine stays out on my covered porch also. I do have to set it on the steps every few days to get a better charge. I also should have used a more expensive solar light than I did. LOL I used an older shade I had and it held up well. I would suggest maybe giving your shade a good spray of a fabric protectant product. Good luck, hope this works for you. Thanks for stopping by. ~barb

Why I Chose a Word of the Year
Hi Jane – yes we do need to take care of ourselves. I am an independent type and do not like others taking care of me. Health is so, so important in our everday being. Wishing you and yours a Happy and Healthy 2018. xxoo
