It was this fabulous rustic bench that sat at the end of the bed!
There is a funny story that goes along with this bench. I have been drooling over it but never asked how much. I just knew it would be over what I would be willing to pay for it. This past Friday I asked one of the ladies that helps out if it had been priced yet and she said no. Well later that day my good friend who lives just down the road from the cottage texted me that she saw the fabulous bench and that she was thinking of getting it. Well I guess she was told that I had been asking about it and she texted back letting me know that they called the owner and it was was just $50!
$50!? Did I just read that right? I called her ASAP and she had just left there and told me that she was thinking about the bench and just wasn't sure. I told her how I had been pining over it for weeks now and never thought it would be in the range that I would be willing to pay. She said she just wasn't sure. Well I did something some may say is just awful. I called the cottage right after I got off the phone with her and told them to mark it sold. Gasp!;)
I texted my friend back and told her that it had just sold!;) She said she just laughed. Thats a true friend! She knows me well. Now don't get thinking that I am all that bad of a friend. I did let her know that there was a fabulous Pottery Barn looking bench at HomeGoods that I had actually had in my cart and put back that very same day for the same price. It actually was more of her style anyways.
So note, if you are a pal of mine DON'T call and tell me about some fabulous piece that you are THINKING about buying at a great price that you know I have looked at too cause chance are if you don't get it right then I will!;) |
