A couple weeks ago I knocked a lamp off the end table. It had once been a thrift store find, and though the lamp itself was pretty, I had purchased the wrong type of shade which always sat at an angle. I've meant to replace the light, but kept forgetting when I was out.
I glanced around Goodwill today, but nothing caught my attention. (Truthfully, they were all hideous...) Since we weren't in a hurry, we decided to stop at the Volunteers of America store. Although the day was cold, the weather was dry and there were a few items strategically placed outside the store; two small desks, a rocking chair, a lamp or two and several other things. One lamp grabbed my attention right away. I checked the price, $12.99. It seemed pretty fair to me, so I scooped up the treasure and headed inside.I think it looks rather nice on the end table.
I think a good deal always makes me smile as much as the product I bought!
ReplyDeleteWow, you got a good deal! It looks really nice.
ReplyDeleteOooh! Nice! And it looks perfect there!
ReplyDeleteOh Martha...you have a good eye! I love the way that lamp looks on your table.
ReplyDeleteI found the raincoat I've been looking for yesterday. $6.99. Will model it one of these days.
This lamp is similar to my mother's treasured yellow lamp. Similar to a converted oil lamp, but made to be electric. Funny thing is we've been looking at them online because we have an old kerosene lamp that need a glass chimney and shade.
ReplyDeleteI like it. It reminds me of the yellow one we had in our house when we were kids. I think you had it on your blog recently. Oh...I just realized that your last comment mentions it.
ReplyDeleteI was just going to say the same thing as Priscilla, it looks somewhat familiar. I like it!
