Here’s a reader question from Rebekkah that I wanted to post right away since I’m sure one of you will immediately know the source. Here’s what she writes, “I’m searching for a chandelier I have been dreaming about since I saw it in France. I have attached a photo that I took while drooling over it and my dinner. I asked the hostess where she purchased it and she said it came from Printemps in Paris but they do not have an online store. Any ideas, suggestions, or sources for this chandelier? I am going mad trying to find it.” – Rebekah.

Can anyone help Rebekah? I will continue my investigation, hopefully we can all pull together and help her locate this unique find. I guess she could always contact Printemps directly, but I’m almost willing to bet that like all large department stores, it will take ages to hear back. I found this one on Dutch website Premium Gids, but I’m not convinced that it’s what you’re looking for entirely. If you feel like a little DIY project, you can make your own via the Carlo Rossi website, I’d dead serious, click here. It’s so funny!

I’m stumped! I think contacting printemps directly is going to be the only way, if no luck found a few wild chandeliers here : )

The one you are referring to, Holly, is made from milk bottles. Rebecca is probably looking for this one, though:

That was easy. :) Glad you are happy – I don’t know where you are located, but if you are outside of Germany, give me a shout – I can pick it up and mail it out to you, if the shop doesn’t offer shipping abroad. They are in Hamburg… so am I.

HOLY COW! I was just thinking how I was going to get this, I don’t speak German. It seems they have a shopping cart, I’ll just have to call on my friends 8 years of German lessons. If that fails I may call on you. Or they may not offer international shipping… we’ll see. Thanks so much for your help! YOU ROCK!

I hand build chandeliers from household items, so I’m sending you the link to my site in case you’re curious to see more unique chandeliers.
