Don't Hate Me

Question:  When you score a guilt-inducing spankin-good deal at a flea market, is it proper etiquette to walk a good distance away before high-fiving your best friend?  I say yes.

The jury was still out on that when I spotted this pillow last weekend.

In my defense, I did not know that it was a Pottery Barn pillow when I asked the price.  It was the seller who said "Two dollars" and then as she picked it up to put it in the bag she said "Oh, it's Pottery Barn" (Sweet Lord the tags are still attached!!!).

What happened next was what any savvy shopper would have done - I grabbed the bag holding on for dear life, said a polite thank you and casually walked several feet away.  AND THEN I squeeled, jumped up and down, did cartwheels and a little "high to the five" and went on my merry way.

Then just a hop, skip and a jump away wouldja believe I found another PB deal??

A candlestick for $3 that I got for $2.50!

Now for those who think I should have offered to pay more, I have many, many good deeds filed away in my "This Cancels Out The Bad" file.  Not to mention I've overspent on way too many things in my lifetime.  At some point, there needs to be a counterbalance dontcha think?

Like this Ballard giclee I found on Craig's List.  I paid way less than it sells for in their catalog.  And I would tell you what I paid, but then I would have to kill you.  It's classified.  The end.

I will show where I put it in an upcoming post so stay tuned!

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulicious day.
