Chocolate Moosey: My New Toy!

My New Toy!

Ok so it's not really a toy because it's ceramic, but I've been eyeing this baby since the end of last semester at the bookstore.




I was at the bookstore today, and it was the last one. I decided to break down and spend the $10. However, I noticed a slight chip on the base, so I figured might as well ask for a discount. I know when I worked at the mall in a clothing store, we would give 10% off for damages with no return or exchange. When I asked, she said they didn't sell damaged merchandise. I was like, no I'll still buy it because I thought she meant she couldn't sell it to me at all.



Really she just meant she couldn't sell it and gave it to me as a gift. !!! I asked her probably about three times are you sure? and thanked her another twenty times. So here's my new toy! I have yet to decide what to put in it. And I am still cursing the person who designed our apartment. The lighting is absolutely horrible. Who puts the main light on the side wall instead of the ceiling anyway? I brought my lamp over and did the best I could, hence the horrible shadow.

Isn't it funny how free anything is just amazing? I don't even care what it is, if it's free it's cool with me :)

Eh what to put in it? Candles? Flowers? Girl Stuff?

That goes to say that you should take chances hehe!
For the lighting, use a table lamp, try to put it on one side of the object, and use a white carboard or sheet or something that reflects the light, thus reducing the shadows. Play around with it you'll get something great. Also, right beside a window makes a nice soft light, the white cardboard still works for that. GL!

Too cool and cute! Congrats, especially that it was FREE! I'll have to remember that trick.

That's SO cute! Anytime I try to get someone to lower their price if something is damaged or missing, they look at me like I have lobsters crawling out my ears! Good job.

That so pretty. If there's anything I love, it's a good deal. That's why we go down to Grove City for boxing day every year..haha. There's nothing better than buying something you want or getting it for free!
