Dear Pottery Barn,

Yes, I must write you another letter. You know how much I love you. You entice me with your catalog that pops up in my mailbox rather often. Then there are the emails from you in my inbox, too, just full of yumminess. You know that normally I don't buy anything from you at full price unless I just can't live without it and am afraid it will be sold out if I wait. So I wait for sales. But then I have a double whammy. Your outlet store is only thirty miles from me. It is a nice little drive up towards the north Georgia mountains. I just get in my comfy car, turn on the radio to enjoy some music and then before I know it I am standing in candyland your store.
This week you had exceptionally nice things that kept trying to jump in my cart. Yep, that's right. There are carts in the outlet store, but not in your regular store because you know that things will surely come home with me.

Lamps are like a drug to me and I have wanted this one since I saw it in your catalog a few months ago, but it was catalog only and not in the store. Well, guess what? It was in the outlet store this week!

This lamp is like a great big heavy piece of ironstone and you know I love ironstone so of course I wanted this. I love how you distressed it in places, too.

The price tag for just the base said it was regularly priced at $150, but the outlet price was $99. So I stood there and thought about it for a few minutes seconds and in my cart it leaped. Actually more like I huffed and puffed to lift this off the shelf and into the cart. This lamp must weigh forty pounds.

It did not come with a shade so as I strolled around I came upon this linen look large shade and tried it out with the lamp and thought they went together like two peas in a pod. Then I checked the price and the regular store price was $59, but the outlet price was $19. Thanks for such a super mark down.

As I was strolling along with my cart on the way to check out I see this basket. It is a very large basket and just perfect for holding my books or I could put some throws in there in the winter months.

Baskets are so versatile and I have admired these from afar in the store, but just wasn't willing to pay the original price of $79. Oh, but this one wasn't $79. No way Jose. The outlet price on this Shayne basket was 38.97. But wait! That price was slashed through in red with a new price of.........wait for it...............
$19.97. Yep, you saved me $60 big ones on this basket and I truly appreciate it.

I decided to place it under the bench in the sunroom for now. Great for extra storage since I am running out of places for my books.

Now PB, can I call you PB? I don't want you to think that was all that came home with me because there was a couple more things. I just wanted to write and thank you for having some great buys this week. Sometimes it is a hit or miss. The cart came in real handy this time.

Thank you so much,
