Did I mention I had a coupon for Pottery Barn?
Well, it was about to expire so I stopped by.
My favorite spot to hang out is the clearance aisle.
{I ❤ you PB — and your free catalogs, too!}
I wasn’t there two-seconds before I noticed willowy feathers everywhere.
They were tucked in tall vases — casually tossed in giant bowls.
They were amazing.
PB knows their stuff.
Now, I had never seen feathers quite this way before.
So, I was excited and giddy and floated closer to inspect more.
I picked out a hand full and made a lovely bouquet…
… held them close to my chest and glanced down at their price tag.
(sigh.)
Not even with a coupon.
So I moped drove home.
Well, my husband…
…he was jostling stuff around in the garage.
He chatted while I watched and that’s when I noticed.
I squinted my eyes and stepped in closer to see.
I had passed by them many times before and never batted an eye.
Not even a blink.
But today…
…today was different.
And my heart skipped a beat.
Tucked on a shelf right above his head… feathers… willowy ones, too.
And after he handed them over I thanked him…
…then blew dust off each one and headed for a vase.
