Crinkle voile curtains World Market





Picked up my curtains today, had to pay more than they were the other day but at least I didn't have to pay $5.00 more a panel.  Really World Market?  I'm sure our wages haven't increased accordingly.  Come on folks, I was sure they were $13 a panel on sale.  Two days later, (they were in the process of a reset), they are marked $20 a panel on sale for $17.  I went to the old display and the manager found me there wanting to help me. Well, she didn't really want to help me because she scanned said panel and stated that they were on sale for $17 so I must be mistaken.  I reached over to the panel and pulled the $15 price and say, "Oh, look here, I thought they were cheaper."  She was livid and jerked the thing out of my hand and told me it was an old sign.  So, I didn't get the sale price off the $15 but at least I didn't have to pay that special sale price of $17.  She was rude and told me to have the cashier to page her.  She came and checked me out and was even ruder, I could smell her cigarette on her so that didn't even help her calm down. I'm surprised she acted that way because I would think any paying customer is better than no customers.  I am always polite because I have worked retail and know how you get treated daily.  I also know that two bucks a panel did not come out of her paycheck and if she had pulled the old signs we wouldn't have had an issue.

I didn't let it upset me because I love the curtains and they were way cheaper than that mess of velvet I ordered up on Overstock.  I won't be shopping there anymore.  I was charged an unbelievable amount for restocking those drapes plus the shipping.  Dang. Sorry honey.  So my blues still don't match but I like it now.  It reminds me of the colors of the ocean in here, green and blue which ties in well with the Ganesha.

Silk curtain

Okay, this is the way he suggested from the beginning and it looks the best.  Love my window jewelry!

Silk

This is closer but still not quite right.  Husband is a little fatigued.  

Belly dancer window

I might have to dye the neck piece to match the silk behind it.  

Love my window.  The silk moves all day because of the ceiling fan.  Gives the illusion of cool even though we are having record heart here in Kansas City.  110 degrees today.  Ugh.

Belly dancer belt

I was so excited to find these tiny cloths pens on the Walmart clearance aisle.  I never dreamed that they would actually be functional. 

Still working on this belly dancer belt.  Love it so far.  I get excited to see all the little items I collect come together to make a one of a kind art piece.  My obsession with bells is continuing.

Bells

I got the bells on the left for fifty cents at Sparks.  What a deal!  The one on the right I combined a big bell I got at the freight store with a snowman Christmas ornament.  Just removed the snowman and wired the bells together.  They both already had the rope which made for a perfect fit.
