Treasure Hunt

<span style="font-size: large;">I did a little bit of antiquing this weekend at some out-of-the-way (meaning it took me half an hour to get there) stores. Nothing earth-shattering was found, but did find some gems. Also, did some local online scouting. See what you think . . .</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvN9K3zYRpFJMDz3Un8vWCRPGMSIzK5GJLDjuXL8SOwnBRbLnS2kNtcANaMpPgOirYn21_Qpm-2mggNNgKQJZdbiTxt2ny8Kbo2LLJ1Z9owgisnEoEwzugIpehExL7T8dg8OZCQw4QwiM/s1600-h/IMG_4768.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvN9K3zYRpFJMDz3Un8vWCRPGMSIzK5GJLDjuXL8SOwnBRbLnS2kNtcANaMpPgOirYn21_Qpm-2mggNNgKQJZdbiTxt2ny8Kbo2LLJ1Z9owgisnEoEwzugIpehExL7T8dg8OZCQw4QwiM/s400/IMG_4768.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>An alabaster lamp for $82, which I believe is a pretty good price.
