An observation from my junkin trip yesterday, and some of my weekend finds!
Yesterday I was at an amazing sale, and I found lots of great old goodness.
While I was there, I saw a couple that I’d say is close to my age.
I overheard the man say to the woman (I assume his wife?) “ok, but how much did you spend??”
What caught my attention was not the question, but the WAY the question was asked.
It didn’t sound like a “wow that’s amazing! How much was it??!?”
It was much more of an accusatory tone.
As an outsider, it’s very easy for me to hear this and write the story.
Maybe he was just asking. Maybe he was mad because she always overspends. Maybe I heard it all wrong and he just meant ok awesome. How much was that?
I don’t know.
But the way I heard it was not in a good way.
And it immediately made me VERY thankful that my husband has never asked me that question in that tone of voice.
All that to say, I am thankful for my husband, who always is a “go with the flow” guy, and knows that I know what I’m doing, and doesn’t question what I’m doing and how much I spend.
Yes, that comes from years of trust and seeing what I do.
But it seriously made me pause and think.
I think that’s a good thing.
And in the midst of all that thinking, I found some awesome stuff!!
So how was your weekend, and what made you pause and think about all the things??
All this goodness and MORE is going to
The Cranberry Merchant Tuesday morning.
See you there!!
