Congratulations to me

I went shopping for work clothes at the outlets today...and came home with a few goodies for the house.

First, I bought the Ashland tripod lamp for $103 at the PotteryBarn outlet in Dawsonville, which is now discontinued. It's listed on eBay for $180. I'm wondering if I should get one more in case I need it to balance the room...



I also picked up this little guy. Actually it is quite heavy. I still love it from weeks ago when I saw it and just had to have it:


I stopped myself from making more purchases other than work clothes today - the outlets are having some serious sales right now. (PB had a pretty cream 5x8 rug on sale for $150.) Back to work clothes and thinking about w.o.r.k....
