I don't know about
you, but nothing (*almost nothing) gives me as much satisfaction as getting a
good deal.
I've been looking
at this sconce for the past year or so on Shades of Light. It was perfect for
our main floor hallway. I pinned it. I loved it. I lusted it. I needed it.
But, alas, it was
$199.00. Way too much for my frugal Mormon heart to accept.
So I waited. And
waited. And cheated on my sconce by looking at other sconces at places like the
Home Depot and Lowes. Oh, for shame!
But, like a tragic
love story or substance addition, I kept coming back to it.
And you know what?
All the waiting and lusting paid off. This past weekend Blake and I drove down to Richmond as a spur-of-the-moment
adventure, and we happened upon the only Shades of Light decorating
outlet in the country. And there, sitting quietly in the corner, was THE
sconce. And the price? $24.00. You better believe I snapped it right
up.
Victory is mine!
And it is so sweet.
Wow. This is me applauding you for your amazing deal finding. I always feel victorious when I get a good deal. And now, your sconce will hang on your wall like a trophy and you can relieve the thrill of victory every day. It looks great.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julia! I always feel like I'm sticking it to Corporate America when I get a steal of a deal. I like the way you put "relive the thrill of victory every day." I surely will do that.
DeleteWow! That is a steal! Holy cow! I always love things so much more when I get good deals.
