Burst balloon.

I put the balloon lampshade cover into its dye bath on saturday and then ran it through the wash overnight

The memories you have, and the stories about Mrs Stokely and her adventures in the balloon, are what you will pass on. They will never break.

Thankyou for that.
It's true too, she's had some great adventures, some had dinosaurs!

*hugs* That's a shame. If it helps, Ikea are doing hot air balloons - not lightshades, just for hanging form the ceiling, but if you can't find a hot air balloon lampshade it might be worth considering.

I'll take a look.
I still have the basket part of the balloon (and the cat obviously) so I may be able to concoct a new canopy.
If not, I wonder if I could adapt an Ikea one?
