Got lucky this time!



    Did you ever do something without thinking it through real well? Then kick yourself for it? Well, I did that last week... I was perusing the usual internet shopping sites looking for a red bracelet. Found a few, some went on watch lists and I placed bids on a small handful.  
    Now, I know better than to jump in without checking the shipping cost. But I overlooked that on one bid. Oh, how I cringed!!! To ship was $6.99!!!!  The bid was for .99 cents!!!!! The photo wasn't that good either. What the heck was I thinking?  I kept hoping that someone else would bid higher.... and, of course, they didn't.  Well, I wouldn't even consider trying to back out. It WAS my mistake! Time to suck it up and learn to be more careful next time.
    Well, it arrived in the mail today. I now have a RED bracelet! A BIG RED bracelet!!!!
     Big, chunky, heavy and bright!  Forgot to take a photo to show the translucency.  The original listing said it was Lucite, (I don't know my plastics very well.) and it weighed in at 116 grams. I'll have to find a chart on weights. This thing has quite the heft to it!
     The geometric pattern shifts around as the bracelet moves. And what a color! A rich candy apple red. Well, at least in my opinion. Have no idea what I'm going to wear with this. She definitely commands attention! hahaha

I've decided to name her "Big Red".

  
Blossom approves! Or perhaps she is staring in awe...
