Announcement    Great News Y'all

My shop is Opening up again.

...minimally for now...
yes, slowly at first,

So the plan is, my goal is, and my affirmation has to be:
I will have my Etsy Shop looking great,
I will reclaim my creativity that has evaporated
for much of my life for that last few years,

I will have my Website Working, clickable
and I will post links and be active on my other Social Media sites
I will be an actual breathing Artist that makes art,
Makes Lamps, and anything else that Inspires me.

I will be a functioning -working Artist again.


I reclaim myself as an Artist again in 2020.




About Tramp Lamps:

I crafted my first Tramp Lamp in 2003. I knew it was something unique and had great potential for me creatively. I researched the idea thoroughly to be certain I was not copying someone else's process or concept.* Once I was certain that nothing like it had been made before, I proceeded with the development and launched my website with a small collection of lamps that were all one of a kind. They sold out within the first 2 weeks.

As you are reading this, I've made well over 1300 unique Lamps. You can still see all of the lamps I made and sold over the first decade on the 18 pages of gallery archives starting here: http://www.tramplamps.com/Pages/archives1.htm

I have had the good fortune to be endorsed by founders of major lingerie companies, as well as complemented by the Heiress of a legendary American undergarment empire that was named after her when she was just a baby.

PLEASE, KEEP IT UNIQUE.
If you see anyone else making anything that resembles Tramp Lamps in any way, please let them know about www.TrampLamps.com

Even after all these years, I still love finding antique, Vintage, and used garments to alter, illuminate, and decorate for lighting to sell all over the Earth. I really hope that If you were to find one of my creations perfect for your decor, that you would feel the same way.
I love making TRAMP LAMPS and I love making art.
This is my full time job; I make it, I pack it, and I stand in line at the post to ship it.
I want you to love it & to be happy with it.

*The time between the printing of all international and domestic shipping labels and when it is 1st scanned by a courier are not simultaneous. Please keep this in mind when receiving my shipping notices through Etsy and tracking info on 3rd party websites such as fedex.com.

Remember, when you purchase from my shop, you are supporting me as an Artist and a person, just like you. There are no employees at the Tramp Lamps machine, just Me. This is my full-time job & how I support myself and my family.

I thank you so very much!

The history of Tramp Lamps is written out on my web site, www.tramplamps.com
Please visit my site to find out all about these unique creations.

Each Tramp Lamp :
-Is Handmade from Used or Vintage clothing, therefore imperfections in the fabric are natural.
- Is One of a kind.
-Is Made for Indoor use Only.
-Are hanging Lamps: Made to be displayed by their included Padded hanger.
-Comes with a Bulb and 6 foot click switch cord both supplied by Westinghouse.
- New LED and CFL Replacement bulbs are great alternatives for Tramp Lamps and can be purchased at your local lighting retailer. Not all *LED and *CFL bulbs work with the cords provided, so please take this under advisement. I suggest contacting me before a bulb for the cord I provide.

** I do not provide LED or CFL bulbs with all standard purchases at this time. But I am making the transition to these bulbs permanently through my distribution supplier at Westinghouse. They are so much more expensive than the ones I've been using, but they really are the right way to go for the lamps.
* *If you actually read all of this before you made a lamp purchase, please say so in the buyers notes on your invoice and I will send your an assortment of bulbs including a LED bulb for your new Tramp Lamp!

Ship items back within: 30 days of delivery
I don't accept cancellations
But please contact me if you have any problems with your order.

Because of the nature of these items, unless they arrive damaged or defective, I can't accept returns for:
  • Custom or personalized orders
  • Perishable products (like food or flowers)
  • Intimate items (for health/hygiene reasons)
Returns and exchange details
All sales are final- Unless the lamp arrives damaged or is not the same lamp as was pictured. If you are unhappy with your lamp for some aesthetic reason, we can discuss options at that time. I have never had a lamp returned due to loss of shape overtime. You will receive a letter on how to care and clean your lamp with your order.

I do not want anything but a completely Positive Feedback score from each customer. Therefore I will do what I can to make sure you get the lamp you desire. We are in this together and I want to make you happy.
Payment
-I accept payments through Etsy's Payment System at this time. (Thank you Etsy, for making the payment process so much easier than it used to be!!)

You must complete your orders through Etsy to receive your awesome cool stuff. This is how transactions work. It's all part of the part of the process in completing your order through Etsy. Your browser may be redirected to PayPal if you have to connect your PayPal to Etsy, if you use PayPal with this website. Read the official Etsy payment FAQ. Yes, do this. It's cool, That is probably what is supposed to happen.

Remember also :
I am not Etsy, I'm just an artist who uses their services to sell my silly creations and I never see your personal payment info.

If you need to make specific payment arrangements with me, send me a conversation so we can discuss the matter further and perhaps make a private listing for the item, thereby making a payment plan.

Neither you nor I want to have problems with any business dealings; not here on Etsy .com or anywhere we make purchases. I want the best possible experience each time I sell something to someone and I want you, the customer, to love what I make and to honor the creative exchange. This is why payment is always due at time of purchase.

I want nothing less than a great review from you when you receive my artwork. If you aren't able to give that to me, let me know immediately and I will do everything I can to fix it.
Shipping
- For Lamp orders within the United States I use Fed Ex ground services. Your tracking info is sent to you through Etsy once I have created and paid for the shipping label, but the movement of your actual package does not start at the same time. Once you see activity in the tracking link of your order that moves beyond the creation of the label and that it has left the original sorting facility, usually that indicates fed ex has it on a truck specifically destined for your location.
I really like the new intergraded service that Etsy has for Fed Ex. usually ship at the beginning of the week. If you place an order on Friday- Sunday, your lamp will not be shipped until Monday or Tuesday of the following week. Most shipments arrive within 5 business days. +++FED EX WILL NOT DELIVER TO A PO BOX+++

For all non-Tramp Lamp items, I still use Etsy's delightful Shipping label system and standard USPS priority shipping services.

-International Lamp Orders are also shipped via United States Postal Service. I use priority mail with insurance. Each delivery destination is different, but for example, a lamp shipped to Canada usually arrives within 7 business days.

+++YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DUTIES AND CUSTOMS FEES+++ for more information on these fees, you can contact your local postal office. If they need specific box dimensions and weight in order to give you a proper quote, please contact me.
Additional policies and FAQs
