I hadn't planned to stop into the thrift store but I had one my "feelings". You know, the one that says I should stop in because there is something waiting for me. I spotted this lamp almost as soon as I walked in the door. I snatched it up, of course. I've only been looking forever for a nursery lamp.
Somehow I manage to attract the odd birds. This day was no different because as I was looking over my new lamp, I heard a strange old man yell "How did you get that before me? I'd really like to have that! I didn't even see that! Where was it?" He didn't say it in a mean way, it was more like desperation mixed with greed.
Oh, I had plenty of time to reflect on the tone because he followed me to various parts of the store repeatedly lamenting the fact that it was in my hands. Finally he asked me "How much do you want for it?" "$1,00.00", I said. "Cash." He just looked at with me consternation as I mentally willed the cashier to HURRY UP ALREADY. I managed to escape with my prize and I think I'll use it Bella's room. That is unless I decide to go back to reselling and it ends up in an online shop. I miss selling and would love to get back into it again. We'll see.

Geez, what a weirdo! I often feel like I am being followed in the TS too. Or someone will dart in front of my in an aisle and just hog up the walkway (pet peeves, lol!!)
That lamp is so, so cute!
Wow; that's weird! Love the little lamp though. It's really sweet.
Hi Gina and Alyssa! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I have the same pet peeves. Glad I'm not the only one to admit it ;0)
Cheers!
