In the lamp section at Lowes they have medium holiday lampshades (these would fit all of my lamps in my living room) on sale for $5.98, which is a great deal, BUT…their holiday clearance is 50%, so my nice cashier gave me them for $3 each. I bet you could talk yours into half price as well.
Just remove the holiday ribbon, and you’ve got yourself a new shade to work with! Isn’t that the most expensive part of getting lamps at thrift stores: buying new shades?
I stocked up.
You can call your store and ask them if they have any item # 0362226 in stock.
Good luck!!
It’s the end of the year, which means it’s time for Rhoda’s Top Projects Party!

One of my favorite Christmas hymns~
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
I thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
And in despair I bowed my head:
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men."
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth he sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men."
Till, ringing singing, on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
Of peace on earth, good will to men!
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I’m joining Richella today for her Home for the Holy Days. It’s about keeping the focus on Christ amidst the hustle and bustle of the season. (and there has been much hustlin and bustlin around here, so it’s good to reflect on the true reason for the season.
Our guest hostess for the party kickoff is none other than the wonderful Sarah from Thrifty Decor Chick!
I love Sarah’s passion for beautiful, thrifty diy. She makes you feel right at home at her blog and her mind just amazes me with the stuff she comes up with. A few of my favorites over at her blog:
