I have the same experience. It's ok---they just don't know what we know. <br /><br />I once, to prove a point, resold some wonderful antique bargains--just to show him that I could make a BIG profit. To this day, I wish I still owned those items. I've seen them for 10X more than I paid for them. What were they? A child's size cupboard (would have been darling hanging on a wall), a child's size oval table (great beside a chair) and a child's chair (a real treasure.)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12756033682201519150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-90278576986528167152009-12-20T14:25:58.016-05:002009-12-20T14:25:58.016-05:00Hi Trina,

I love collecting useful items. <br /><br />Since my husband doesn't shop at all either, he really has no idea of the price of anything. Every once in a while I'll ask him to guess the price of something, really just for the fun of it. He is never even close!<br /><br />~janetthe gardener's cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447809353998632722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-88740103709058693012009-12-19T22:18:22.120-05:002009-12-19T22:18:22.120-05:00The bread looks delicious too...

When I have bought something I have to admit that I stretch the truth abit (only a bit) for example if something is $54.95 I might say $50.00 and if something is $19.95 I don't say $20.00 it is the $19.95 'cause I think it's how it sounds when you say it. Slightly dishonest I know, naughty me! Thanks for sharing. Better go as it's the wee hours of the morning here.<br />Take Care<br />Janine<br />XXOO<br />Tasmania, AustraliaJanine Marshallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-11997248876147553562009-12-19T01:51:21.750-05:002009-12-19T01:51:21.750-05:00It's beautiful!

I am seriously considering a vacation to hire you as my antiques consultant for a weekend. Are you up for it? haha.<br /><br />The red transferware is Sooooooo nice- I just love it and adore the open shelving and your cedar boughs. Nice touch girl!<br /><br />You are making me learn great patience waiting for your living room furniture photos...I cannot wait. Isn't it sad when strangers' happiness relies on you? haha.<br /><br />Have a great holiday and gorgeous decor!!!!! You're the best. Love those oil paintings most I think...<br /><br />xo TerriWindlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014227226507484798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-42735192216244219612009-12-18T18:59:33.012-05:002009-12-18T18:59:33.012-05:00I can totally relate...I start getting nervous and...I can totally relate...I start getting nervous and self-concious that what I had thought was an amazing deal moments earlier is suddenly not such a great deal anymore when it comes to telling Fiance.....don't tell but I sometimes fudge my answer to be without a doubt a good deal!Seagrass Interiorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14742397820236459628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-5425276695507148482009-12-18T15:23:43.369-05:002009-12-18T15:23:43.369-05:00What a great bread board!

Then he thinks the worst, and is relieved -- or thrilled! -- to hear the actual price.

My jaw dropped recently when I found him in our local hardware store trying on clothes! When I walked up to him, I asked him if he had found something nice to buy. He did. It was adorable of course but it occurred to me how much the stars have to align just so for him to shop! xoxo TrinaCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371726009244498344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-21578480610918709942009-12-18T12:31:28.479-05:002009-12-18T12:31:28.479-05:00I'm a hubby who happens to do the bargain-hunt...I'm a hubby who happens to do the bargain-hunting for antiques and flea market finds, I would less than honest if I said I could relate, Trina. Thankfully, most of the purchases I make wifey also feels they are good deals. <br /><br />Your problem may be due to the fact that your hubby doesn't do the shopping, so he's not aware of what exaclty is a bargain, especially when it comes to "old junk" that he may think should be close to free. :-) that's the setiment I've gotten from people who don't have an eye for the value of vintage and antique objects. <br /><br />ShannonVintage Living Magazinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531440938109059214noreply@blogger.com
