I think one of the best places to buy lamps is at the thrift. Over the years I have bought several lamps from there and two of the floor lamps I bought were less then ten dollars and new ones are over a hundred. Posted a picture of the one I keep in the back entry. Still working on the Journal for Marlee. Just kind of guessing on how to do it. So Marlee when you get it keep in mind I don't really know what I'm doing. HA.
