Love Story Seeks a Different Happy Ending: To Help Breast Cancer Research

Most designs tell a story. At Aidan Gray Home, it is a love story: the love of a son for his mother. The mother, Marlene Weeks, invested her sense of style into her family throughout her life. Son Randal Weeks captures it daily through his unique designs to honor her, including five new lamps created especially for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

“Growing up in a military family we moved frequently; my mother’s “attitude is everything” approach made every government issued house a home.  She made sure each of our homes were well-dressed, warm and inviting.  The walls might have changed but you knew you were home,” shared Randal Weeks.

In her memory, Aidan Gray has introduced the lamps. Fifty percent of the purchase price will go to breast cancer awareness and research. Each of the lamps has a subtle touch of pink, plus each lamp shade also has a light pink trim tucked inside the base of the shade – visible when turning the lamp on and off. Why the pink band? It’s a subtle reminder that we are all in the fight for a cure. A mother, a sister, an aunt, a grandmother – no one goes uninvolved to keep and cherish the women in our lives.

Randal Weeks, founder of Aidan Gray Home – an award-winning manufacturer and designer of European-inspired lighting, home furnishings and garden accessories – is sharing his new Pink Campaign to fight breast cancer and honor his late mother. Ms. Weeks lost her battle with breast cancer on October 14, 2010.     

The Aidan Gray Home Pink Campaign features five products available online at www.AidanGrayHome.com or in Aidan Gray Home showrooms in Dallas and Atlanta. Products may be ordered only during the month of October, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The five new products for Aidan Gray’s Pink Campaign include:

• Graceful Elegance Candle Chandelier
The graceful arms of this chandelier are elegantly balanced with gold drops that hang from above. It will hold tapered candles that, when lit, will bounce a beautiful gold glow across the room. 

• Eternal Flame Lamp
What this lamp's petite frame lacks in size it makes up with its beauty. Meant to honor the many women who have been taken from us due to breast cancer, this little lamp holds a flame that will burn in their honor eternally.

• Pillar of Strength Lamp
In memory of women who have been the pillars of strength in our homes, this sophisticated lamp honors the many battles that were lost due to breast cancer.

• Foundation of Hope Lamp
The silver flecks that shine and flicker on this lamp represent the women in our lives that established a foundation of hope in our hearts.  The memories and hope left behind by these incredible women still ignite our hearts today.

• Attitude is Everything Lamp
For the beautiful women who have battled breast cancer, this lamp is there to remind us that Attitude is everything!

Aidan Gray's focus on home and garden products has been the springboard to its success. The Aidan Gray product line is available in five categories: furniture, lighting, décor, candlesticks and garden.
