Yesterday I stopped into my favorite thrift and began to casually peruse the aisles. As I turned into the kitchen section my heart began to pound out of my chest. I was standing in front of one of my holy grail, rarely spotted, always wanted, items. The yellow-ware banded bowl. Standing in my way was an innocent older lady in striking distance of my object of desire. She wasn't even looking at it but I could tell she was sensing my eager anticipation to get within grabbing distance. She stepped aside. I went in for the kill. I grabbed, I mean casually lifted it off the shelf. Yes, it was exactly what I had expected. I ran, I mean I walked casually to the check-out. (The bowl was unmarked) I held my breathe while the clerk looked at the bowl. "Would fifty cents be O.K." " Fine", I shouted, I mean I casually said. I grabbed, I mean politely took the bowl out of her hands and crammed it inside my purse for safe keeping. "Thank-you" I said as I ran to my car looking over my shoulder all the while. I hopped in the car and locked my doors. It was mine, mine, mine and I was soooooooo happy.
I LOVE those bowls!!! you're so lucky - I've wanted the same one for ages!
