Although there's a list of supply sources that comes with the book, there's a much more extensive and ever-expanding list on the club site, including sources for lampshade frames and rings, new, reproduction, and vintage fabrics and trims, beaded and rayon fringe, all kinds of embellishments and embellishment supplies (beads, buttons, feathers, etc.), hardback supplies (including decorative, Asian, and art paper), sources for instructions and supplies for various decorative techniques (including smocking, embroidery, silk painting and dyeing), sewing supplies, lamp parts, and more.

There's also a unique eBay shopping page with a 100+ targeted links. And you can make suggestions for sources that you'd like to have added, and ask for help finding supplies you're searching for. The site also offers various how-tos and tips that include making tassels, creating ruching and ruffles, an article on the different kinds of paper, and how to make white paper look slightly aged without looking painted, with a lot more to come. Other club benefits include the right to re-download the e-book file, should something happen to your copy or your computer, and $5.00 off additional book and club memberships you'd like to give as gifts.
