I enjoyed your article, Heidi, and Anusha's detailed comment also.<br /><br />And everyone else's comment of course. Sometimes, I sure have trouble proving I'm not a robot though.

Sometimes I think it's due to different people doing the pricing.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336382489523622350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172620894432077557.post-62423207172045187182014-05-09T19:17:23.340-07:002014-05-09T19:17:23.340-07:00Very pretty.

It is really nice, and I am sure looks great in your window! And yes, pricing is sometimes a total joke. Very,very old indeed.

There's one where everything is "styled" and "curated" to the nth degree, with prices to match. Our local Cancer Society store is also following suit, though it's nowhere near as bad. It's about a hundred times worse if something's "Mid Century", because then they're priced hiiiiiigh. I mean, I know they have to make money too and most times it's for a worthy cause, but it's gotten ridiculous. <br /><br />The thing is, there are many many times they just don't know how valuable something is! I too have seen all kinds of ugly junk labeled "vintage" with high prices, and right next to it will be a beautiful unique genuine vintage thing that's just considered "old junk" and priced low. Of course, I'm always happy to take that off their hands (haha!), but it just boggles the mind. <br /><br />I found my beloved ginormous macrame wall hanging at a local vintage store with a sign next to it that read "1971 is calling" or some such stupid thing, like it was some joke and who would buy something that ugly etc., etc. So I brought it home for $12 and now it's hanging in the bedroom in all its glory, and every day I can look at it and smile because it makes me so happy! And I too think of how someone must have spent weeks or even months painstakingly creating this beautiful work of art.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364296511350544087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172620894432077557.post-31566141825188371812014-05-09T10:17:37.949-07:002014-05-09T10:17:37.949-07:00It is certainly worth a dollar - it's beautifu...It is certainly worth a dollar - it's beautiful!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06272811081912620854noreply@blogger.com
