I love thrifting. I love garage sales and second hand things. But sometimes it is worth it to spend the money. Sometimes you know it’s the One. The one you want. The one you have been thinking of.
I have been wanting a glass lamp for the living room. I saw this blue-green glass baby at Lowe’s. I would have to buy the base and shade separately. I would also needed a harp and finial to connect the shade to the base. Each item on its own not too much. But added up all together…..
I put everything back. I didn’t need the lamp. I shouldn’t spend the money. But I just knew it was the same blue-green color of the vintage Ball jars I love so much. I finished up my shopping, and went back to look at the lamp again.
I knew it was the One. The one I have been waiting for. And even though it was more than I would normally spend, it was not too much. And I thrift on most everything else, so back in the cart she went. I went down the next aisle and got a three way bulb. I don’t know about you, but I usually forget to get the lightbulb.
I brought her home. I set her up. And just knew, she was the One. And this is her home. She looks so pretty. I smile when I walk by her. She makes me happy. And that’s what you should have in your home right? Things that make you happy.
What do you think? The right choice, right? Worth the money? I think so.
