Yup, there are things that just make me stand back and say, "WOW!" I bet I'm no different that you. Maybe the difference is what it is that brings you to the point of "Wow."
This dinner plate dahlia is one of them. It showed up at my desk at work yesterday. One of my bosses grows them and every year brings them in to share. This is a small one. I saw one on someone's desk that was almost twice the size of this one.
And here is another thing that stopped me in my tracks. Burnt red Frye Campus boots. Many years ago I had a pair of them. I loved them and wore them all of the time. They were comfortable and fashionable and about $125 less than they are today.
I'm told by someone in my house that I will not wear these. They will sit in a corner and I will not even look at them. That is simply wrong. Two years ago was the first time I saw Frye boots in red and fell in love with them. When I finally got around to place an order, they were sold out – everywhere. I think I should have these, I think I need these. Call me crazy, but these just scream "Wow" to me.
I think you should have these too. I had brown ones years ago, nothing more comfortable.

I think you should tell that someone in your home,that you will look at them sitting in the corner,and even if you don't wear them enough,that it will bring a smile to your face and what a beautiful site that would be for him.:)

You should tell that someone in your house that "Yes! I'll wear them and I will promise to take them off before hopping into bed!"
Remember the 'Chippewa' boots you bought (and I paid back) at Lazarus Dept. Store back in the 70's? I still wear them. I bought a pair of Frye that are ankle high and tie up the front last year. Same thing - sold out but, finally found them. Love those red ones though!
PS - Hi Connie!

I LOVED my Chippewa's. I've looked at what they offer now, and they just aren't the same. Consider yourself lucky, and before you put them on EBay, give me a call!!!
