Daisy and the Candlestands

Tagged with: Ms Daisy

Howdy Moms,

Having a good day? I had a great day and I have my buddy Daisy and shopping to thank:-)

Well….I would not really say “shopping” with an aim to buy something specific….oh well maybe socks for “Elvis” my 4 yr old son. The shopping for socks turned into stumbling on treasure for me. In layman’s terms that means I found stuff I didn’t even know I wanted (wanted NOT needed) pay attention ladies.

So the treasure I found was a pair of crystal candle stands that had my name written all over it in bold AND flashing. I looked at them and was in love. Be still my beating heart.

See my will power,I didnt pick them up immediately. I took myself around the store once and came back to them just to calm myself down. Then I picked up the candle stands and went for another stroll with them in my basket for a second opinion, from Daisy. As you know Daisy and I are best friends and think alike. (Pls see older posts to wipe that confused look from your faces dear ladiezz

Ok….so my love for the CS (and very pretty ones at that) had increased not decreased….and that was a sure sign that they were meant for me. However, only one test stood between me and the CS. Yes, the really difficult one which says that if you love something a lot let it go and if it comes back to you its yours something something. Well….in this case it meant that if someone else bought them, I would resign to my fate. It did help that it was 10am and no human traffic.

As difficult as it was….I put the candlestands back from where I had picked em up and left. I went and did some more boring shopping read socks in the store and then came back. Lo and behold…..the CS were still in the place I had left them. It was meant to be. WE were meant to be. They belonged in my house over the mantelpiece. I had a already justified the price at first sight. I really did NEED them. What if the light ever went out and I stumbled in the dark and broke my foot. Wouldn’t that cost more to fix than the candlestands?

There…..the deal was sealed and the Candlestands and I walked hand in hand (literally) to the sales clerk “-)))
