I spent $125 for the table and 3 iron chairs (that do NOT match the table, but they're still cute). It's been painted a pretty heinous shade of yellow, so I've got to decide what color to repaint it and the chairs need to be reupholstered. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-71468333463846880312011-02-22T12:47:23.588-06:002011-02-22T12:47:23.588-06:00Wow, you really seem to be an angry person.
If th...Wow, you really seem to be an angry person.<br /><br />If there had been a line, it would have been line cutting. You're not "first in line" if you're not in "line". You know how people in reality game shows always end up saying, "I'm not here to make friends"? I don't go to estate sales to make friends or curry favors. I go to buy what I want to buy. I waited outside the other estate sale in 20 degree weather for almost 12 hours to be FIRST IN LINE.......IN...LINE...get it? If the estate sellers give out numbers then people are welcome to wait in bed if they like, as long as they have a number. Waiting in your car without a number is just like me waiting in bed without a number. It's first come first served.Mr. Modtomichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804031065414619749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-11490486618830346152011-02-22T11:58:02.826-06:002011-02-22T11:58:02.826-06:00I really think your idea of line-cutting, because ...I really think your idea of line-cutting, because that's what it is, is totally wrong. People wait hours in their cars ONLY because it's 20 degrees outside. No way anyone should be able to just walk right up and be first or even Tenth in line. That's how you make a lot of enemies and get passed up for future favors or pleasantries. But that's up to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-71380770855882707152011-02-18T01:22:59.006-06:002011-02-18T01:22:59.006-06:00Dana - Yeah, getting both chairs was a pleasant su...Dana - Yeah, getting both chairs was a pleasant surprise!<br /><br />Rhan - I myself have and still do want a large Birds In Flight Curtis Jere wall sculpture.<br /><br />mono G - I know...I hope some parts of those great bathrooms go to the Habitat ReStore.<br /><br />V H - Snow around here FINALLY all melted...and this is Belleville Flea Market Weekend!!!<br /><br />Mod Betty - Rush or Anxiety...I can't decide!<br /><br />K4M - The Jere is hanging over my PC screen where I get to see it ALOT!<br /><br />Sudha - No...Doubt!<br /><br />denise - Your welcome!
