I went shopping at Hobby Lobby the other day and made a beeline for the clearance section. I spied something with my little eye. 
Hmmm…that shouldn’t be clearanced out right now. (That’s me thinking to myself.) Then I noticed the writing on the tag. $120 for a lamp at Hobby Lobby? Huh?
And then I saw this tag underneath it. I quickly looked around for the hidden camera. Someone must have been trying to catch my reaction for giggles. There was nothing, so I put it in my cart—still bewildered. Would they really mark it down that much for a finial?
I decided to employ my little one to demonstrate my “quick fix”. Here’s her story–
“I wonder how I can make this lamp work? If my mom’s taught me anything, it’s that I can DIY this.”
“Ah ha! This finial (that cost $2.39 at Lowes) will be the perfect fix!”
“Come here, you mangy lamp shade. You and I are gonna have words.”
“Well would ya looky ther? It worked! I’m pretty sure my mom is a genius, and she’s taught me everything I know.”
A $120 lamp. A $2.39 finial. For $26.39. Boo to the Yah.
Thank you, Hobby Lobby.

Hubby bought me a pair of those lamps for our bedroom for my birthday back in September…they were 1/2 off each ($100 for 2) which I still thought was a great price considering they look so much like the PB ones…… you really got a deal/steal.
You will love them!
