We love giving away lamps, what can we say. So if you didn’t come out on top last week, here’s another shot at taking home a stylish piece of lighting for your home.
This week’s prize comes from The Shade Shop & Lighting Gallery located in nearby Charlottesville, Virginia. They offer a diverse and ever-changing gallery of table lamps, floor lamps, chandeliers, sconces, tables and (of course) lamp shades. In fact, they’re brimming with excitement over the new line of Bunny Williams lamps that just arrived. Plus, the Shade Shop offers custom lampwork and repair, meaning if you want something unique they can make it AND they can fix it if you happen to break it.
But hopefully you’ll have trouble breaking the antique-nickel-clad Lucy Accent Lamp (valued at $298) that they’ve put up for grabs this week. Check it out below:
To enter to win just comment on this post with the words “GIMME A LIGHT” by Wednesday, March 4th at 8pm EST. And since this prize hails from my alma mater’s hometown, we’d love to hear what you loved most about your college hometown. I could go on and on about Charlottesville- after all it was once named the #1 place to live in the US. And we could probably name quite a few things we love about Sherry’s college town (NYC) too, considering it’s where we met. This prize can be shipped to the lower 48 United States and as always, only one entry per e-mail address is allowed. Good luck…

Lawrence, KANSAS is the BEST college hometown. “Mass Street” aka Massachusetts St. is full of unique, boutique little shops. You guys would LOVE it! Come visit sometime!

I went to college in Savannah, GA…or should I say Swoonvannah…er…maybe not. Either way I just adored the whole city and Tybee Island was a wonderful place to live while in school!
Gretchen says
GIMME A LIGHT!!
My favorite part of my college hometown was my friends. I miss them a lot now that we’re all scattered across the world. As far as a place though, I miss this one coffee shop near my old flat. They had the BEST tea selection.

Go Charlottesville! As a fellow UVA grad it’s hard to pick my favorite thing about C’ville, but a couple faves were the beautiful glimpses of the Blue Ridge Mountains I’d get when I’d get to the top of hills on Grounds, the Gardens in the springtime, and all the great old red brick buildings.

Gimmee a light! Please :)
A place called Taste of Thai was the best thing about Harrisonburg. Not that JMU was lacking of tasty eating places…but give me Broccoli and Sesame Chicken any day of the week and make me a happy girl. :)

i went to a tiny school in cannon beach, oregon. it is one of the most beautiful coastal towns in america. my favorite part was being able to see the beach from one side of my dorm, and mountains from the other. you guys should take a little vacay there. the town is romantic, the weather is moody, and the shops are adorable!

Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. Go Hoosiers!
I loved cycling on the back roads of Bloomington and Brown County with the hills of crisp fall colors all around! Bloomington is such a quaint midwest town, too!

I went to UNC-CH and I loved that my college town was really built around the college and everything seemed to center around campus.

My college town, Champaign/Urbana, was a great first- intro to diversity, coming from a small farming town in Illinois!

I love my college town so much, I graduated 5 years ago and still haven’t moved away!
Of course, it’s Chicago, so there are a few other things to do here than just go to college… :-)
Amy says
Gimme a light! I went to Dallas Baptist University and my favorite thing about Dallas is the shopping!
Jessie Stanley says
GIMME A Light!!
My college town is the home of an absolutely phenomenal pizza place called Hot Tomatoes. There was nothing better than having a hot, delicious New-York style pie delivered in the middle of a study session!
Sunny says
GIMME A LIGHT! Seriously, I am in dire need of lamps… and that one is so neat. My little, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it college town… what wasn’t there to love! It was cozy and comfortable, but close enough to a big city to still get the entertainment when you wanted it. Felt like home to me and I miss those days!
Danielle says
Gimme a Light!
How very funny that I am considering UVA School of Law which is in- you guessed it- Charlottesville!
Alison says
GIMME A LIGHT!
My favorite thing about my college town/home town is watching the Gators bring home National Championships! Go Gators!!!

“GIMME A LIGHT” – my husband would love this lamp! I loved living in the college town of Athens GA. in early summer, walking the sidewalks and window shopping while enjoying a scoop of ben & jerry’s ice-cream.

My favorite thing about my college town(Morgantown, WV) is the atmosphere of Game Day Saturdays in the fall.
Anna says
GIMME A LIGHT!
As a proud UR alumna, it’s difficult to come up with just one favorite thing about Richmond. From Richmond’s beautiful campus to Mongrel, For the Love of Chocolate, The Byrd, Can Can, Nacho Mama’s and Baker’s Crust in Carytown, to the typically-beautiful weather and all the nice people… I’m wondering when I can move back!
JessLane says
GIMMIE A LIGHT!
I am an ODU grad and the thing I love about Norfolk is the endless list of things to do. We’re so close to the beach yet only a few hours drive to the mountains/country. It’s southern enough to have the charm but north enough to have the small city feel. Such a lovely town!
Lynn says
GIMME A LIGHT!
I loved so many things about Ann Arbor, but I suppose my favorite memory was the first time I saw the leaves change in the Fall of 1999. It was the first time I experienced “Fall” and it was the best moment ever!
Nancy says
GIMME A LIGHT!
Currently live in NYC, but hometown of alma mater is Chicago. Like NYC, Chicago has everything you can think of, including a lake that many visitors mistaken for an ocean. Unlike NYC, Chicago has a great quality of life that I wish could be easily transplanted to NYC as it’s now my home.
Beth says
GIMME A LIGHT
I echo everything that everyone’s said about Harrisonburg, VA. I loved the architecture of the old houses around the burg!
Tessa says

I miss my college town – my now husband and I frequented a great sandwich and ice cream shop when we were “just friends”. ;)
Lindsey T. says
GIMME A LIGHT!! My college town was Provo, UT and I loved living there! The best part about it was the beautiful mountains!
Keatra says
Gimme a light!
I am still in college…I love the small big city feeling that Portland gives off, if that makes any sense. Compared to NYC it is a tiny place but still has a downtown feeling. I love that you can walk from one end to the other in a day.
Alison says
GIMME A LIGHT!
I love my college town, Raleigh. I also grew up there, so all the memories make it special.
