Today I came home to find the doors to the solarium open after dark on a cold day. That isn't how you use a solarium. You are supposed to open the doors when the sun is shining to provide free passive solar heating to the rest of the house. So why were the solarium doors open?
My wife was eager to show me something new in the solarium. She had hung some very nice looking curtains alongside some of the windows. They were extra long 96 inch curtains and looked great in the space.
"Looks awesome!" I said as I was facing her and looking at the curtains hanging behind her. It probably wasn't clear whether the complement was meant for the curtains or for her. That's OK, both looked awesome.
The next thing she showed me was even more awesome- the price tag! The curtains were regularly priced at over $45 and were marked down to under $8.

"You gotta check the clearance rack," she said. "You never know when you'll find something good."
Sound advice indeed.
There was another great purchase in the solarium- a lamp that Mrs. Penny Pincher found at a thrift shop for only $2!
This is a nice looking, sturdy lamp that is probably from a hotel. I like that it has the button to turn it on and off on its base where it is easy to reach. And it is really heavy duty and will probably last forever. Plus it was only $2 on clearance at the thrift shop. Did I mention that it was only $2?

"Beautiful!" I said as I looked at the lamp on the table behind my wife. Again, it was probably not clear which I was complementing, but that's OK.
Gotta check those clearance racks!
