Did I Do That?
Out of sheer boredom, I logged on, browsed the innanet, and saw this…
The 5th Avenue Collection
Bright Outlook. Create a sophisticated and intimate dining area with our stylish 5th Avenue collection. The graceful table and Parsons chairs have an understated elegance with the look of rich merlot finished wood and nicely tailored cotton duck upholstery. Casual dining has never looked so smart.
Before I knew it, I was typing in my credit card number. Oops!
This was purely an impulsive purchase (or perhaps just another reason to buy crap) that set me back a few hunnid. I tried to convince myself by saying “it was on SALE…for Memorial Day!” and yea, we do sorta kinda need it. Oh but don’t worry, I’ll believe myself in a day or two.
Weird thing is, even with rent AND mortgage to pay on June 1st (no renter yet – stay tuned for Fabulous Tenant Search: Episode #1), I don’t have a trace of buyer’s remorse. Is that bad? LOL *shrug* Oh well, the order is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday, June 6th. Yay!! Maybe the buyer’s remorse will be on the delivery truck.
*looking for my responsible personal finance hat*
This IS bad. I mean really, really bad. Don’t try this at home. Ok? LOL And a special warning to all internet shoppers: DO NOT – I REPEAT – DO NOT MEMORIZE YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER!! Lawd, it’s dangerous. Trust me.
Off to find table settings and napkin holders…
Peace & Blessings

Wow, that’s beautiful! I’ve been looking for something similar. Where did you say you impulse bought it? LOL
It’s a gorgeous dining set! That’s almost exactly what I want to get once I move into a place that has a dining area. :)
LMAO.. can you impulsive search and find me one too? I need a 6 place setting thank you :) LOL
it’s beautiful though..
That is STUNNING! Simply STUNNING! and it’s not an “impulse purchase” – its an “Investment”. Yes, I know – stop justifying..
However – Pier1, Crate & Barrel & Linens & Things are having a sale.. not that it’s tempting, but you might want to look into…
lmao@”did I do that”…ok urkel!
Love the set though!
it’s a perfect set. go to target to get the place settings! ok that’s not helping i know.
LOL at the urkel comment!!!
Nice. Hmmm, didn’t you “show” us one last year similar to this but in a red/berry color? *giggle* I have a friend who put her cards in the freezer which made no sense to me since she memorized the frigging number! LOL
Don’t feel too bad, Ma! I bought a table and six chairs at the beginning of the year. At $150 the set was one of my best buys!
Enjoy!
I blame it on the dang on stores. Having those wonderful Memorial Day sales!!! Ugh! Hate em. All I wanna do is check my email. But nooooo! I got to run cross an email from Macy’s bout their 25% off sale. Of course I talk myself out of going to their site when out of the blue I gets a “Happy Anniversary” email with a coupon code for free shipping. Guess who its from…..Macy’s herself. Its like she was reading my mind. By the time I had come up from out the haze I had already hit the “confirm order” button.
Needless to say my new stainless steel pot set and DKNY bedding set will be delivered by next Tuesday.
Dang you Macy’s! Dang you to heck!!
Awww…well at least it’s something that you really CAN use and, if buyer’s remorse DOES set in within the next couple of days you can still cancel right? Maybe? :-)
Love your site by the way!
That is a beautiful set!
Mmm gorgeous dahlin’, simply gorgeous!
