[QUOTE="sabre123, post: 2728306, member: 8258"]I'm almost giddy about today's find. I went to a last day dig-out sale today and in the driveway was a grouping of floor lamps. Two caught my eye, but as I was looking, I heard the attendant telling a couple they could have "the dresser and all the floor lamps for $20." I was standing there like man made of stone waiting for their reply. "We'll just take the dresser." After he finished up with them, I asked about the lamps and he said all for $20. I said I'd give $10 for the pair that I liked and he agreed. Both are Torchiere lamps but not matching. One is a Rembrandt and that was the one I really wanted. Well, I walked to the other side of the table and my eyes almost popped out of my head. I saw a pair of absolutely gorgeous opalescent/pearl glass torchiere shades in a big box with a bath towel over them. The necks fit the taper perfectly in the fitters on mine. I asked, and he said $10 for the pair. I couldn't get the money out of my wallet quick enough. No cracks, but have a couple small chips at the fitter end, thankfully. ( I can't believe they survived in tact ) They're large at 16" and have a lovely swirl and dots pattern. Oh happy days! I haven't cleaned them yet, so pardon the dirt: [ATTACH=full]276335[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
