    "Chili" Lamp?

    I bought a new lamp from Pier 1 yesterday. I’m not sure if it’s actually called “Chili” (I think that’s just the color), but it wasn’t on the website and I don’t remember what the name was on the tag.

    I’m not 100% sure about it yet. Keep it? Return it?

    New Lamp

    It would be for my office. I love the lamp that I have in there now, but the power switch is somewhat broken and now it hurts my wrist to turn it off.

    I’ve been thinking about getting the Lights Up! Nikki Table Lamp:

    That one is $185 though, and the lamp that I bought was only $75. Still, I’d rather spend the extra money and get the lamp I really want instead of skimping and getting one that’s only so-so. The problem is that I’m not sure which one I want…

  • The Perils of Coupons

    The Perils of Coupons

    My living room looks like a mini Pottery Barn warehouse. It’s not my fault – really! They lured me in with a coupon (the “welcome to the neighborhood” discount) and clearance merchandise.

    And see? &! As in Smart & Lovely! It looks a little strange all by itself in a messy office, but it’s still pretty neat.

    I also picked up several card racks. I’m pretty jazzed about them! They’re really quite pretty, and they were about the same price as the regular old boring card racks (yay, clearance!). I think they might be a little heavy to lug around to shows, but they might be worth the extra effort.

    So…Beware the Post Office! They sell your name when you move, and you get tempting, tempting coupons!
