Yesterday was National Thrift Store Day. Yay! I love to thrift. Yes, in my world it's a verb. It's what I do. My thrifting finds have furnished my home (and now my daughter's college apartment), have made me money (the $1.99 tablecloth from Goodwill that I sold on Ebay for $150.00, the $5.00 birdcage appraised at $585.00 that I might sell . . . someday), and turned many of my events into something special.
In honor of yesterday's holiday, I share with you my most recent find. This adorable vintage lampshade found at Goodwill for $4.00. Since Harleigh took her nightstand lamp with her to college, I needed a new lamp. Paired this shade with a $20 Target lamp (a simple white ceramic retro-looking one), and I think we have a winner!
Her previous black and white drapes (now also at college) have been replaced with airy lace curtains from IKEA.
For me, everyday is National Thrift Store Day!
Score!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you.
I love your lampshade; I would have bought it, too.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe I missed National Thrift Store Day.
Guess I'll just have to try and make up for it.....
Since I like "thrifting" as much as you do, it shouldn't be too hard!
I love that lamp shade!
