Some time ago I got a lampshade from the salvation army thrift store. It cost about the equivalence of eight dollars. It is nice. Then I was looking in the shop window one day. Of another shop. They have a lampshade just like the one I have. So I have asked how much does it cost? They said everything in the shop is half price. They said the lamp cost only 400 Swedish Krona, about 70 dollars. There was not only the lampshade but the complete lamp. A floor lamp, but still. I thought maybe I should buy it and have the matching lampshade also. Maybe if they would let me buy only the lampshade, I would pay 30 dollars, but I do not want the stand.
