    1. Anyone know where I can find two of the Danish pendant (#2) lights?
      I had four, but two broke. So sad…

    2. Same here, I just broke one of three in a hanging set. Broke my heart, too. I want it back sooo bad!

    3. Hi Pam!
      I have taken pics of some of my wonderful light fixtures that came with out 1968 ranch. I’d love to share them but am not sure how to post them.
      Thanks,
      Jean

    4. I love and have #8. Actually I have the light fixture in the next photo #5, and I am missing a number of the colored plastic gems. Does anyone know where I could get replacement gem? I got it from my grandma. It was their kitchen table light. They remolded the kitchen in the 80s and kept the light fixture.
      I recently hung it in my closet and I LOVE it.

    5. I have 3 of #6 in my hallway. They are beauties.
      As far as a replacement gem, perhaps look for a similar size and color in a craft store like Michael’s.
      Good luck!
      Jean

    7. 1,4,6 & 8….if I can only pick one… #4, but they’re all awesome 😁
