You know how you just have those moments...
Those magic moments when you're
absolutely
positively
unmistakably
sure that you married the right person?
I had just such a moment last night
after returning from the Paper Cowgirl retreat.

Completely out of character for him, my husband announced
that he and a buddy had stopped at an estate sale that afternoon
before I arrived home, and that he had picked something up for me.

He wasn't sure if I'd like it, or if it was my "style",
but asked me to take a look anyway.

My non-junkin' hubby picked up the most absolutely perfect,
chippy kitchen scale for the rock-bottom price of $5!

Thats cool you are very blessed. My hubs comes home with nuts and bolts if he will even get close to a yard, estate sale or auction. The last time he came home with jars and jars of nuts and bolts and a long metal tool carrier full of clamps. He unknowingly brought me a gift because I used the tool carrier for a planter this year.
Oh Anne my eyes are GREEN with envy....Lucky LUCKY you....Seriously LOVE those scales....!
Cheers,
Tamarah :o)
How cute! You have trained him well my friend!!

The most absolutely perfect, chippy, old kitchen scale --- $5
The love expressed by a husband for his vintage loving wife --- PRICELESS!
He's a cat daddy-in-training for sure! Next thing you know...you'll get to sew lace on his undies, he'll be such a good buyer.
Debbie

Awww! How sweet! you've taught him well, and he paid attention! More lovely than roses. Lezlee
Oh my, it will clean up very nicely indeed, and be just perfect! They do surprise us sometimes, don't they, those men of ours?
I would say that he missed you and wanted to let you know by buying you something that he knew you would swoon over! I bet you gave him some sugar for that:)
Have a blessed day and if you get tired of that sweetie, send him to Georgia:)
HUGS!
Is he awesome or what?
LuLu♥
A keeper! (Both the scale and your husband!)

The chair and scale will look great in your new house,,I am praying it is right for you,,,because it is a very kewl house with alot of character. Love the stairs! And the porch! WEll you could not be more excited I'm sure. Good luck!
Love
Marcie

Happy new week to you!
To my Lurd,
Mr Twig is a rock star too. I think he should start his own blog, 'Mr Twig reflections- How to keep your Lady Happy!'
He has that F&T charisma too! Lisa
PS 66!!@@#$#@!
Oh, Anne, how sweet!! I've got a great guy too!
Worth their weight in gold, aren't they!
Diane
He did real good! What a great looking scale!
Hi Anne! What a keeper you have!! Lucky paper cowgirl!
Lucky girl :D I looove this scale! I've been wanting one forever now and can't seem to locate a cute white one. Enjoy!!
~Terrell @ FrouFrouDecor~
Oh yes, he's a keeper for sure!! That's why I call mine WH, wonderful husband! He's a keeper too. Riki
Oh it's such a beauty of a scale.. love! How very nice of your husband to bring that home for you! I think he *is* knowing your style!! ♥ :))
Hi Anne! Oh, how sweet! What a wonderful scale! I know you're going to make pretty with it.
Now I do believe you have a wonderful honey! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
That's a great bargain!
Sounds like he's slowly getting the junking bug! Just wait - it won't be long and he'll be an all out junker with the rest of us! Soon...Susan
Anne, It's a beauty! And what a gem of a HD to find and pick up for you. Kudos on that training!
My HD does laundry...tee hee (that's why half of my wardrobe has those little furry balls all over them!!!)...but he doesn't bring me treasures such as yours!
Maureen
Okay, I usually read all of your comments,
but there are way to many and I have way too
many chores to catch up on!!!
But, at the risk of repeating someone else's,
I think that it is so wonderful that he
knows you this well. There can be no greater
gift on earth than to feel that one is KNOWN
by another....especially if that person is your
best friend and hubby. Lucky girl!

I have the best idea ... let's sign up for that tv reality show "Wife Swap" ... you {sweet Texas Gal} comes to New Jersey to live with my husband {who doesn't "get it"} two miserable teenagers, one 4 yr old, and two dogs in a broken down house ... me, I get Mr.Perfect {that'd be your husband} NO kids, a house on the ranch in TEXAS and well .... I guess I still got two dogs to take care of ... sounds fair, right ??
I didn't think you'd go for it ; )
Miss ya ... I've been busy ; (

Jill
very very sweet!!! He's a keeper.
Glad you enjoyed the Paper classes- it must've been fun to meet all of those people, esp. Lisa. Your tags are wonderful!!
Anne what a sweetheart you have- that is such a tender story. I love it.
Happy summer days to you.
That James is hard to beat!! What a guy:)
What a sweetieyour husband is, and what a gorgeous set of scales! I think you have a keeper there Anne:-)~ Tina xx
Yup, he's a keeper! Mine brought me home 4 old watering cans once. I guess that sometimes they really do 'get' us!
