Do-be-do-be-do, The Shopping Coup . . . Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

OK, I only went to the fancy-schmancy department store to buy CHRISTMAS CARDS, I swear! But then they didn't have the ones I wanted, so I started looking around for a birthday present for my best friend

Yay! You got your Christmas present.

See how good I am to you? But this makes my present SO much better than yours.

You can't pass that up!

I know - it would be like finding a hundred bucks in the street . . . and leaving it there!

I bow at the altar of your bargain-hunting skills.

The best part is that I actually liked it *before* I knew it was on supah-sale (in fact I'd been eyeing the collection months ago at full price), so it wasn't one of those things I was *only* buying because of the super-sale. The other best part is that all I wanted was the sugar/creamer, but I couldn't find a price on either one of 'em. All I saw was an $8.00 price (marked down from $40) on the bowl. So I asked the nice lady, figuring that if the *bowl* was only 8 bucks, I could probably get the sugar/creamer set for less than $20, and wouldn't that be lovely?

Surprise!

It's BEEYOOTEEFUL!

Don't put it in the dishwasher!

Doesn't matter if it SAYS it's dishwasher safe. Earthenware and stoneware manufacturers lie like dogs.
