New Rooster Lamp

This lamp that I bought recently with some birthday money was a bit of a splurge for me. It was regularly $60 and I got it for $40 because it had a hole on one side. I don't know about you, but forty bucks is A LOT to spend on one item. But, it is very nice and large and I adore it! I am glad that I got it. Hey, you gotta treat yourself every once in a while, right?!

Happy Belated Bday wishes. If you love the lamp and it makes you happy then that makes it very worth the splurge :0)
And you're right. We do have to treat ourselves now and again.
Enjoy your day!

He's handsome! I know what you mean about the $40 - I bought some lamps for my bedroom from the clearance section of Wal-Mart - paid $30 each for them and that seemed like a lot!

He does look great! Angie, I have the same lamp with a slightly different shade. Let me just say...you got a much better deal than I did!

Happy (Belated) Birthday, Angie! What a cute lamp...glad it makes you smile...then you *know* it was definitely worth the splurge! LOL I'm with you, though - I don't usually spend a lot on one item like that :)

Happy Thursday to ya!

OK I'll admit that I can't say that I have never spent $40 on a lamp, so take this with a grain of salt (yes, I sometimes tend to buy on impulse). If you see something that speaks to you and you don't have to do something drastic, like not buy groceries for the week....get it. You work hard and sometimes deserve a little treat...and you can enjoy something like a good lamp for the rest of your life...so money well spent.

Hi Angie, Love the new rooster lamp! You deserve to splurge a little, after all, you find so many lamps for a dollar! I love the recent one with the fleur de lis shade, it turned out great!! Kristen

It looks great and adds some punch that a plain regular lamp would not. I say it was $40 very well spent:)

I love your rooster lamp. I think sometimes we have to splurge a little. All the great deals you get at yard sales average it out. And I always feel like if it makes you happy everytime you look at it, it's a great deal. Mimi

Jessica said...

$40 is a lot of money (for me) to spend on one item but it's always nice to splurge a little every once in a while! And that is a beautiful lamp and I love the color of the shade.

Love the rooster lamp. I just found your blog and love what I've seen/read so far. Wish you had a e-mail subscription so that I can get your new post delivered to my inbox.

I love your rooster lamp!!! I have a white one. But now I think I might have to spray paint it black. But probably not, only because I'm lazy.
