Striking Lamp Gold!

This weekend, I didn't make it to the auction I mentioned on Friday but I did manage to strike lamp gold at a Habitat for Humanity's Restore in New Jersey. 

I walked away with two beautiful lamps with a crackled finish. Each were in fantastic condition and, get this, only $10 a piece
One of the two lamps was quickly set up on my end table in my living room.
And the second lamp I found, also in a crackle finish, was absolutely brand new. Still had the tags on it! 
And, as it turns out, it was a $225+ Martha Stewart Lamp! For $10!
It never ceases to amaze me what can be found at a secondhand/thrift store! 
Have you benefited from the "new year" donation cycle and found any great thrifted items recently?

  10. Awesome find! Unfortunately, we don't have a ReStore anywhere close by, but I do have a pretty fabulous Salvation Army. I still need to get down there to see what's new in 2012.
