So, I went to an estate sale on Sunday, which is half price day in my neck of the woods. I was perplexed and thrilled to see that no one wanted this box of vintage shoe forms. I saw the "ALL $2" price and grabbed it before I even twigged that it would set me back one dollar. While I was in line to pay the cashier, a humorless gal glanced at my score and sneered, "What are you going to do with those?" I practically shouted, "I'm going to put them in a vase and make an arrangement!" Her tight-lipped response: "That's odd."

Sheesh! Some people have bad manners AND a lack of vision.
You'd better get those in some water. See you next week!!
Obviously that lady had no imagination! What a fun arrangement.
Why don't some people appreciate our creativity and ideas!
I like them :o) What an imaginative use!

You should have thumped her with one of them! Good score for $1 and love the arrangement..super colors.
Wait, let me guess... she was buying a half-used bottle of shampoo and a stack of VCR tapes?
Love your wooden flowers. Some people have nooo imagination!
"Odd this, lady!"
lol. Exactly :)
I hate it when people are simultaneously nosy and snooty. It's in those situations that I'm glad I inherited my mother's famous WTF Death Glare.
You GO, Girl! I like your shoe thing arrangement!
The world is populated by two types of people--imaginative ones and plodders. You saw flowers, she saw shoe forms. Great score!
I love old shoe stretchers!
