Awww, quite alright, I'm not offended.
Now, in my own defense, the last time I priced a Lalique perfume bottled the range was between $150 and $375 US dollars. I'm not a bag lady, but that's not chump change (considering it's a damned perfume bottle). My husband will tell you I can pick out the priciest morsel regardless of where I am because I'm like a fish (sparkly things attract me). You should have seen his face when I picked out an engagement ring with a $15,000 price tag (no, I did not insist on the ring, no I did not know the price upfront, and no, it was not over 3 carats). My own grandma has a rather nice assortment of upscale type paraphernalia, yet balks at the price of milk these days
My great grandma, before she died, was so thrifty she could make a silk purse from a sows ear.

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
