Lamplight and Feather, Inc.

Description

Our company was founded in 1973 by Tony Hill, a professional fly tyer. We began selling decorative feathers as an attractive sideline while exhibiting at craft fairs, art shows, and outdoor shows. We went online with a variety of decorative feathers for sale in 2001 around the time Tony retired from fly tying. Lamplight Feather is pleased to provide the best quality and service for online shoppers searching for decorative feathers for sale. Our feathers are used for costume, millinery, dance and fashion designs, home, office or event décor, craft projects, floral display, wedding and holiday decoration, feather earrings, and other creative uses.

Our first week back on line with the hair extension feathers has been very successful. Thanks to all. The news about new supply of feathers is not good. The rumor is that one producer, Metz, is done until 2012. Whiting is supposed to be working on putting together prepackaged product featuring 16 feathers for $40. These two American companies are the only serious producers of the type of long saddle feather that has traditionally been preferred for hair extensions. There is NO availability from overseas so don't be deceived by Chinese or African scam artists claiming to have these feathers. They do not. Our own supply remains pretty good and we expect we will continue listing hair extension feathers for some time. We generally reduce the number of items available over the weekend since we cannot carefully monitor sales on our more limited items. However we will be adding some very nice new items on Monday including the famous "tiger" dyed grizzly, turquoise, hot pink, and some new natural and color mixes. Please check back during the work week.

NEW, PREMIUM QUALITY HAIR EXTENSION FEATHERS COMING!!! Lamplight has come to an agreement with Hill Trading Company whose stock of long (8 - 16") rooster saddle remains among the best and most extensive remaining in the USA. Most of their stock is premium Whiting hackle... great feathers and a LOT of them. We expect to be receiving a shipment of their carded stock, 6 feathers to the card, and listing it on our site this week. Once we start listing these we do not expect to run out any time soon. As part of the agreement, Hill Trading has set the price per card and they are a little more expensive than we have been listing. But these are feathers of a quality and length we haven't seen since the end of April. Please check back this week to see what is listed. We continue to add new items and mixes to extend our own product line.

We have temporarily suspended sales of hair extensions feathers so we may once again reassess our stock and get caught up. Please check back next week, Tuesday August 2nd. We thank you for your continued support! July 23, 2011 With both major producers of long saddle feathers (Whiting and Metz) now announcing there will be no additional stock available until 2012, the overall supply of these feathers continues to shrink. Lamplight continues to have good stock and variety for the time being. We continue to add and subtract new colors, sizes, and mixes on our website listing as we can prepare them for sale to you but please be aware there is a finite supply of this item from all sources through the balance of 2011. At times we may have to advise you that an item is "now sold out" and no longer available. In this case we will fill the balance of your order and refund the difference.
