But even if you had been able to afford that particular ring, you would've always remembered how the clerk acted about it.Dixie Redmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18290571323764327616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37220856.post-35306974677497746632012-03-19T13:09:28.289-04:002012-03-19T13:09:28.289-04:00You are so creative,I don't know why you would...You are so creative,I don't know why you would even consult someone.Create it and then get the help to do it.memorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16524678434088529813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37220856.post-320891236604361732011-02-27T21:19:28.288-05:002011-02-27T21:19:28.288-05:00Dixie I love this post.

It reminded me of a time about 15 years ago when I wanted to replace my damaged mother's ring with a ring that held real stones instead of synthetic ones. Our daughter's birthday is in June and Alexandrite is an expensive stone. Knowing that I still wanted a quote on real stones. The clerk looked at me and said, "You couldn't afford it." Granted I only wear mascara, my hair was pulled back in a pony tail and I was wearing jeans and a sweater (reasonable clothing for a day of shopping), but how could she know if I could afford the ring or not, who was she to make that judgement? Even though I asked her how she knew what my income level was I left the store without getting the quote. I felt terrible.

I appreciate the encouragement of two people who have such wonderful homes. <br /><br />It's not that I don't have ideas, it's that I have a hard time making choices. ;-) I am having more fun with it - chose a dreamy blue-green sofa to replace the old sofa and loveseat and then am hoping to find some inexpensive chairs that will be good for tv viewing. These plans are not my ultimate dream plans but are far better than doing nothing. ;-) I'll be putting up more pictures on my house blog after the post sleepover party that my son had. <br /><br />www.ourhouseinpictures.blogspot.com is my "notebook" for changes we're making. Some of them are really small changes but have made a big difference. I'm slowing crossing off the things that ANNOY me about the way my house works.Dixie Redmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18290571323764327616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37220856.post-13132097081583029722011-01-29T16:21:43.835-05:002011-01-29T16:21:43.835-05:00Hey Dix, I adore Maya.

How many times when we visit a shop on an "artist's date", it's not what we purchase, but the how we felt in going there, that we remember.<br /> You are a talented artist, treat your home as your canvas, (or necked dolly...) trust your instincts and have FUN!

I know that feeling of "feeling smaller" and then to say you paid for it - ugh! I just hate that for you and for all of us who have experienced that!
