lights- I can't believe I bought so many
3 weeks ago my sister asked me to get a folding screen for her at the Big
Lots in Mentor Ohio cause it wouldn't fit in Sis's car. I went there on a Saturday and got the screen, but also bought a generic full spectrum florescent floor lamp for myself. Tuesday I went to the guild meeting, and I took the lamp, because the ones we've been using are the swing-arm type that only hold a 60 watt bulb. (All the ladies in my guild are getting older and can always use brighter light to quilt.) I put the lamp together and we all liked it. The bulb uses 27 watts and puts out the same light as a 150 watt incandescent bulb, also the new lamp is much less likely to tip over with the light extended over the quilt. I decided to leave the lamp at the guild to use there. Well, I still needed a lamp for myself, so I said I would go back. We decided to get 3 more lights for the guild, and the treasurer wrote me a check for 4 lights, the 1 I already bought & 3 more. I went back and got the lamps, plus one extra for my Mom, who is 90 and I thought she would like it. She did, & so did my sister. I told Sis I would get her a lamp. I took the 3 additional lamps to guild (we have a room at the historical society museum village where we can stay set up). We put the new lamps together & everyone liked them. I said I was going to try to get one more for my sister, and suddenly 5 people asked if I would get them each one. They will pay me. Well, why not. I went back to the store. I bought 7 more lamps. I left 5 at guild, since I had to work and couldn't go to this last meeting. The sixth one went to my sister. The 7th one I will give to my SIL for her birthday in July. The store is running out of lamps. I bought 13 of them. They are nice lamps. I could use a second one. Maybe I'll go back just 1 more time.

Sounds like a "illuminating" experience! I bet you and the clerk were on a
first name basis by the time you were finished... I can just hear them... "Here she comes again!"

That sounds like a lot of fun. I never venture into Big Lots. Maybe I
should mend my ways. Polly |

Big Lots is not one of those places you "go to looking for something
specific". You stop in and see what you'll find! I get in trouble doing that! -- Kate in MI http://community.webshots.com/user/K_Groves * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "Polly Esther" wrote in message ...

Last time I was there, I found socks that say:
"Darling Diva!" I wear those with pride to my Quilts of Valor Bee, aka The Quilting Divas. -- Pat in Virginia "Kate G." wrote in message . .. Big Lots is not one of those places you "go to looking for something specific". You stop in and see what you'll find! I get in trouble doing that! |

Would you mind picking one up for me next time you are there. . . . .
(sorry, couldn't resist) We have two Big Lots in Reno/Sparks. My favorite one was in Indianapolis on Allisonville in an old grocery store. Guess I'll have to stop by sometime this weekend. -- Kay Ahr in NV http://community.webshots.com/user/kayahr to respond to me directly, remove "WESTHI" from the email address "Jane Kay" wrote in message ... 3 weeks ago my sister asked me to get a folding screen for her at the Big Lots in Mentor Ohio cause it wouldn't fit in Sis's car.
