I Love Lamp
August 28, 2012~
Look what I found! This lamp was still sitting in an unsorted box at one of my favorite thrift stores. It was untested and unpriced. When I took it up to the check out, I put on my sternest "I'm still deciding" face and asked how much. The lady barely glanced at it before she said "$4.99". Then all porcelain was half off and I had 10% off my whole order. I got this for $2.25. How is that even possible?! When I got home and tested it and saw that it worked- I really couldn't believe it! Of course, it has a very old plug and wiring so I'll want to replace that and put a new base and shade on it, but even with all that it's a great deal. Here's a comparable one going for $150 on Etsy.

That's beautiful! And what an eye you have for turning over a profit. (I know, especially with antiques, that's an understatement.)
I'm actually planning on keeping this one- for awhile anyway!
