PURCHASING PAIRS

I have a little bit of a weakness for things in pairs.  Strangely enough, I have three children.  

Anyway, back to my weakness. 

Lately, I have acquired a few new pairs.

For starters, I basically stole these lamps from a thrift store. 

Let me clarify, I did pay for the lamps, a whopping $12 total. 

However, there were some cute, trendy ladies in there scoping out the place.

I overhead them commenting on how awesome the lamps were. 

Thrifting lesson #1, if you want it, pick it up, immediately!

These ladies didn't follow the rule.

So as soon as they moved on down the aisle, the lamps were all MINE! (insert evil laugh)

Not quite sure where they will go.  They may be spray painted and used for a client project. 

I also picked up these brass pineapple bookends for $10 recently. 

I knew as soon as I saw them, I wanted them.

So what did I do, I picked them up immediately.

I'm a rule follower. 

These brass trivets were found at a local consignment shop. 

Believe it or not, I was looking for two somethings, round and brass, for a little project. 

It was meant to be.  Scored them for $7 each.

As a matter of fact, I stumbled upon them while spending a beautiful Saturday afternoon 

with my good friend, Carmel. 

We had a fabulous lunch and then shopped around town. 

She even came back to my house and spent some time 

showing me how to operate my camera in manual mode. 

Love that girl!

I also like to buy chairs in pairs. 

As evidenced here, here and here.

Do you like to buy in pairs, or is just one enough for you?
