Round-Up

I've done a little browsing here and there this week between other obligations. Here's what I found:<br /><br />First, a set of four klismos-style chairs I spotted at the Habitat for Humanity store today for $50 each . . .<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEM3tPp3gQU8xJzCcmW8_dMFnVv8iNXvHNjA8ViRbnK-kfTEy-zrmBdvio5XoS-yWv7pNwI2trAGfQ2lwxizosUv05EE0TGvQ03qdkOxrKQEYK0NwQNmC3XHC3zeGig7Da-Nvvv5sOS6M/s1600/dining+chair.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEM3tPp3gQU8xJzCcmW8_dMFnVv8iNXvHNjA8ViRbnK-kfTEy-zrmBdvio5XoS-yWv7pNwI2trAGfQ2lwxizosUv05EE0TGvQ03qdkOxrKQEYK0NwQNmC3XHC3zeGig7Da-Nvvv5sOS6M/s400/dining+chair.jpg" width="298" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">I loved the shape and thought they would be great around a round table. The problem? Three were side chairs and one had arms. Very strange. Anyway, while perusing blogs today, I ran across this photo from the <a href="http://www.elledecor.com/elle-decor/articles/elle-decor-showhouse">Elle Decor Showhouse in San Francisco</a> on <a href="http://katie-d-i-d.blogspot.com/2010/11/elle-decor-showhouse-2010-kitchen-and.html">Katiedid</a>.

That's right, my entire lamp came in for a grand total of $8 and some change.

The $5 Lamp

<span style="font-size: large;">I don't know about you, but nothing excites me more than finding a great bargain. It's like a grown-up treasure hunt. Such was the case a few days ago when I hit a local Goodwill shop trying to kill some time before picking up my daughter. I spotted it almost immediately. There, in the corner of the store, on the very top shelf, it sat. A very large ceramic Asian-inspired lamp. While it looked a rather garish yellow under the fluorescent lights of the store, I knew it was a gem. As a moth to the flame, I went straight for it. I plucked it off the shelf and started searching for the price. $4.99! Sold! I cradled it like a baby next to me as my son looked at some rather unfortunate cast-off toys. </span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLUKdK_lS8GQhgZKZeCOgwxQebmICBxfUjyNzSzLiYwCVkyAXvApq-sFOQSxmtTNlW6R20zgJCFnnhaL8Qg7LcbLhM93IGxsPWo7GVWRoLvM-a8b-pLGj3b2l6RbR2-SbRHZa5BATY8vo/s1600/IMG_0218.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLUKdK_lS8GQhgZKZeCOgwxQebmICBxfUjyNzSzLiYwCVkyAXvApq-sFOQSxmtTNlW6R20zgJCFnnhaL8Qg7LcbLhM93IGxsPWo7GVWRoLvM-a8b-pLGj3b2l6RbR2-SbRHZa5BATY8vo/s400/IMG_0218.jpg" width="300" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just as I hoped when I got it home, it's more of an acid-green/chartreuse color than a true yellow.
