The email this morning was to let us all know about their new hardware collection. It was enticing enough that I clicked on it and was able to view one of their new door knockers. Here it is...
I love it. I love the antique feeling and I knew right away that it would look great on our front door. It would be a way to give our same old same old subdivision front door a little distinction. Then I saw the price. It is $39!! That is a lot for a little ol' door knocker.
But by this time all I can think about is how cool an old iron door knocker would look. Now all because of that email all I can think of is buying a door knocker. But I am cheap.
So I head over to ebay, type in door knocker and by golly they have thousands listed. Within 2 minutes I had found an actual antique with real patina and age and the highest bid was only $11. So what's a girl to do but bid. I mean it really was Pottery Barn's fault after all. So I bid. And after 4 hours of waiting I had won it. I love winning.
All in my new antique door knocker cost $21.00. A far cry from $39 at the Pottery Barn. I call this a justified impulse spend because I could have spent almost twice as much so I saved us money thus justifying the entire transaction:) Plus we are going to have this awesome door knocker for the front door.
You agree with me, right?
