I told the wife I wasn't going to Goodwill...

But since it was only 7 miles away and I was going a block away to drop off an eBay sold item...I went anyway. Found a pair of nice candlesticks for $2.99 each and an additional 20% discount. I was wearing my contacts and can't see closeup anymore but figured trusting my "eye" and what I have learned on t-net...I took a chance. Now to figure out how to ferris of the "rust" spots.

Rodney's Dimestore Gallery - Virginia Metalcrafters In 1950 Virginia Metalcrafters began their line of Colonial Williamsburg brass and cast iron reproductions. Virginia Metalcrafters' uses the same hand casting and finishing methods as those used in the original Colonial pieces.

I'm laughing a little at the moment bc I've always joked that the primary reason I hunt for jewelry is bc I can hide my finds in my purse - aka my hubs will never know. Sounds to me like you need a man-bag. Nice find though.

So you lied to your wife. What else have you done she doesn't know about

Hey Tamarack! I wasn't going to Goodwill when I spoke to her. But then the inspiration struck me an hour later! I couldn't fight it off! But I showed her the candlesticks once I got home. We call Goodwill my girlfriend. As in..."I'm going to go see my girlfriend...but I'll try to give her less money this time!"
