    1. Me too! The sweet lady who sold it to me said it was reduced because a cup and sugar bowl were obviously missing... I wondered if she could see my heart beating and I walked out so fast after I paid.

    1. Any time :-) It takes a fair bit of hunting though. It's embarassing how often I visit the same stores.
