Your Favorite Bargin is....

Wow that is a great bargin - considering I'm selling baby afghans for $40 ($50 for a blanket and pillow set). Tomorrow I was planning to post a picture of the custom order set I'm finishing up right now - 2 shades of purple. As for painting your bathroom that color - good luck, I mixed a total of 6 different colors together and came up with this by accident. I really thought it would be more blue but I'm thrilled with this.

Yes, my afghan, being that it was full size, was a great deal... As for the paint, I think it is awesome, I may not get the exact color, but close to it and I have been wanting to change color in there for a couple of years now..:)

Well, purple is my favorite color, any shade at all but the light in this room has doubled since painting and I am sooo very glad I did it. I just finished a full sized afghan last weekend and will be putting it up for sale for $75 it's crazy but someone will buy it and think they got a bargin :) just a matter of finding the right person.

Oh how romantic - I'm tearing up just thinking of it. You know that lady loves you if she would keep a plastic bottle as a special momento. And a great bargin for you, free plus you got the girl :)

Yeah, I am a romantic. :) We do get along very well and we seem to always be in sync with each other.

Well, I think it's wonderful and also think she's a lucky lady, I want one just like you :)

Well, I'm not sure what green shadecloth is but going from $200 down to $55 is certainly a bargin. It does sound like they made a mistake but at what point does your responsibility end - do they expect you to stock shelves, price, check out and everything else too. We had something similar happen this past summer - we were purchasing items for the craft buisness. We had estimated spending about $400 on the things we were getting that day, including a grinder that was almost $200. The clerk rang everything up and I questioned the total. She then filled out some paperwork for a class I was going to take for which I would need the grinder - at this point my business partner questioned her and again she said yes she got the grinder. When we got home I was putting the items into inventory and guess what - the grinder was NOT on the reciept. I still feel badly about it but my partner said it was their mistake to leave it alone.

Mo it really does bother me and don't think I'll rest easy until it's straightened out. Problem is I don't have the money to pay for it, we have used it, and my partner isn't coming up with the money :( I feel like we stole it.

that is a tough call there, faith. my conscience would bother me as it sounds yours did a bit too - but then there is the trouble that the cashier would be in for not having rung it up even when brought to question about it - she would likely loose her job.

Your Mom's picture sounds darling and the way you discribe it I can almost picture it in my mind without even seeing it. I don't know anything at all about the artist who painted my picture, the signiture is so faint you can't read it at all. Maybe that's part of the attraction though - it's a secret I'll most likely never know but I still love it.

Oh wow what a special find for you that has got to be special and I'm guessing also worth some money if it's from the horse and buggy era.

I think every women at least would say you won the prize for the most romantic response of all - ok ladies everyone together ahhhhhhhhhh I am sure she feels she got a great bargin also and it brings tears to my eyes just to think how lucky you both are to have each other... Might I ask how long you have been married? I would love to know :)

Well you are very welcome and I thank you for sharing your bargin with the rest of us. What a wonderful story that you met rather late in life but have had 22 years together. Hey, there's hope for me yet - I'm only 52. Do you have a single younger brother by any chance?

We have been married for 22 years. Thank you for your wonderful comments.

Now that is something I've always wanted and have never seen any place for sale - a flower press just like you said, one of the old ones. What do you do with the flowers after you press them?

I've never heard that before, that 7 horses are good luck but I love horses, no matter how many were in the painting I would love it. 30% off is a good bargin for a painting.

Oh your bargin sound lovely - I love paintings, maybe it's the artist wanna be in me. I have over the years dabbled in painting but have never produced what I would call a work of art, something that someone would treasure.
