The Flower Lamp

Tuesday Mornings. No...I'm not talking about the actual day, I'm talking about the discount home goods store. My mom tells me that in other parts of the country, it's actually a nice little place to shop. In south Tampa it's in the ghetto plaza and smells like a weeks worth of wet laundry that has been marinating in your washing machine the minute you walk in their front door. I will give them this though...they have some great stuff at great prices. I went yesterday to look for a area rug to match my new futon cover and got distracted by this lamp...




It was love at first sight. It was also $100.  I literally walked around the store for 20 minutes with it in my hand trying to justify spending 100 bucks on a table lamp. Ultimately, I just couldn't do it. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't justify paying that much for a lamp that really didn't go with anything I currently own. But you can bet your last dollar that if I could have come up with even the flimsiest of excuses that little baby would be mine all mine right now....
