SO…..

So

….I went to the flea market at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds this weekend.  I’ve never seen SO many people there before…I guess with all the rain, everyone had cabin fever and decided to bundle up and head out.

I was toodling along, and just as I turned the corner past the mule barn…

I saw them….

the letters at flea

I loved them, but did I really need them?  I hadn’t seen everything yet, SO I kept walking…and found myself back in front of them 20 minutes later.  I walked on again to check out the last building I hadn’t been in….when I saw something SO rad…..

object of my desire

I was in love….driven to distraction.  The stag horn sheep I never knew I wanted.  What I didn’t want was the price.

price that is not my desire

I really couldn’t haggle since I was only willing to pay about half that…can’t be a TOTAL ass….

SO…..I marched back over to the letters and decided that it was destiny they should still have an “s” and “o”, since I’m a blatant over-user of the word “SO”.  Haggled to $60, which was still too much…but, since I couldn’t have that stag horn…

Third time’s a charm.

UPDATE:  Thing Two thought it was “50″…. anticlimactic, no?

    I love it! I, too, over use the word ‘so’ and would love to have it for my very own. Can’t tell how large they are…

    They are 20 inches high…so hopefully a big statement on my wall!
