Bonnie's Cozy-Glow Kitty Lamp
Painted by hand in a little workshop above Main Street in Stillwater, Minnesota
Bonnie Harlan, 69, has made lamps on the St. Croix River since 1988. Arthritis is ending her fine work — these are the last Kitty Lamps she will ever make.
“People always wanted something with a little soul. So I made a lamp that looks like a little cat keeping watch over the room. After 37 years I’m closing the workshop — and I’d like every last one to go to a home where it’s loved.”

What makes Bonnie’s Kitty Lamp special
Deep blue, amber and gold panels framed by dark lines — like a little stained-glass window. Switched on, the whole body glows from within.
Big green eyes shine out of the dark face, framed by tall pointed ears. It really does look like a cat keeping watch.
The LED sits deep inside, so the light comes softly through the panels. Cozy and easy on the eyes — never harsh.
Plug into any USB charger or port and flip the little switch on the cord. No fiddly wiring, no bulbs, no batteries.
A flat round base keeps it firmly in place on a nightstand, windowsill or dresser.
Every panel painted and checked one by one in Bonnie’s workshop. Small differences from piece to piece are part of the charm.
“Most decorative lamps are made to be looked at for a week. Bonnie’s cats are made to be lived with. The light is placed so it glows through the panels rather than at you, which is exactly what you want in a bedroom or reading corner in the evening. It is a lovely example of a craft that is quietly disappearing in America.”

Perfect for
Why a Kitty Lamp lasts
- LED inside. Runs cool and lasts for years — nothing to replace.
- Safe low voltage. USB powered, so it is fine for bedrooms and kids’ rooms.
- Sturdy body. A solid molded body with painted panels — not thin glass that chips.
- Switch on the cord. Turn it on and off without reaching behind furniture.
- Checked one by one. Every lamp is switched on and inspected before it leaves the workshop.
If your Kitty Lamp doesn’t win you over, one email to info@cedarandtinco.com is enough. Bonnie would rather have it back than have it sit in a drawer.
Please note the size. The Kitty Lamp is a small, cozy lamp — about 6.7 inches tall and 3.9 inches wide, roughly the height of a coffee mug. It is made to glow softly, not to light a whole room. A USB wall adapter is not included — any phone charger works.
