Thrifty Treasures with Rhoda!
Thrifty Treasures is back, ya'll!
I've been searching for a nice pair of lamps for my bedroom for quite a while. Finding a nice pair of lamps without spending a fortune proved to be quite a tall order! I would occasionally find a nice pair of bases, but after buying new shades it was still going to cost a good bit. Then I found a pair of these great lamps on craigslist last week! They are a really nice size and they look fab in my bedroom! They were originally from Bombay Co. (sniff, I miss Bombay)
They have a damask lining in the shades so when you turn them on you get a nice little surprise...
I think these shades are currently available at Target for $19.99 each, so I know that $40 for the pair of lamps including the shades was a good deal!
Please keep your fingers crossed for me on this thrifty treasure!
I'm hopefully picking her up tomorrow if everything comes together!
Did I tell you guys that I won a copy of the new Flea Market Style Magazine from Rhoda's giveaway? I've never won a blog giveaway before, so I was really excited. It arrived in the mail on Saturday and I got to pour through it yesterday! Thanks, Rhoda!!
The magazine is great and I'm thinking I'll share a few of my favorite ideas from the magazine with you this week!
Love,
