The First Sergeant has always loved a bargain.
Some people even go so far as to call him "cheap" but you didn't hear that from me.
When we were newlyweds, setting up our home, Sarge would spend his Saturday's roving around the local town-market, bargain hunting.
He surprised me with my first two sets of dinnerware bought from one of the market stalls, and the list of knick-knacks he bartered for, ranged from Royal Doulton figurines, to furry little Gunks.
Lately, he has developed the urge to bargain shop at the local secondhand and thrift shops.
On his way home from work yesterday afternoon, he stopped in the Goodwill store and found this cute little frog lamp albeit minus a shade.
I was trying to think of something I could use for the shade then it dawned on me....the old colander I had bought at an antique shop.
It fit perfectly !
I'm going to use it in the potting shed, the light shines through the holes, and creates a magical display, almost celestial.
I can't wait to see what treasure he brings home next week.
