Journaling:
In the spring of 2004, I started a quest for a quilt to add a special touch to our bedroom. I spent hours and hours searching online, and must have looked at every quilt at every online store in the country, and the Firenze Quilt in a bag set was by far my favorite.. I am not sure where I saw it first, but I discovered that it was sold at Famous Barr & L.S. Ayres, Target, and Amazon.com. So, I created favorite links to the quilt at all the sites I found and watched every day for it to go on sale.
Even at its cheapest, it was more than I felt I should pay at the time. It was actually pretty reasonably priced at around $200 for the whole set, which includes the quilt, 2 pillow shams, 2 pillow cases, sheets, and the dust ruffle. But, I just could not bring myself to spend that much--even though our current sheets were pilling and had holes in them, and our bedspread was raveling too.
I kept watching--apparently for some miracle sale, which never happened--every day, and gave Jeremy reports when it went on sale or free shipping was offered. He kept telling me to Just buy it already! But, I did not want to spend money we did not have. So, I put it on my wishlist, and wished and wished...maybe for my birthday? But, we had to get a new computer in the fall, so that was kind of my birthday present. No quilt.
In December, I noticed that all of the king size quilts were sold out at every site. I was so sad that I would
never have this beautiful quilt that I wanted so badly.
On Christmas, after we finished opening all our wonderful
gifts, out came Mom & Dad with their traditional
save-the-best-for-last big gifts, and I unwrapped
my coveted quilt set.
