She put it down and he walked off down the room where several people
were looking at some pottery. She kept picking up the bowl and
admiring it. It was a nice bowl. There was a black area on one side
and I had filled in a defect with black epoxy with turquoise and brass
chips. She would pick it up and caress it, put it down, and pick it up
again.
Then as she put it down again another lady walked up and looked at it
and said, "That is a nice bowl. How much is it?" I told her $60 and
she said I'll take it. The first admirer was shocked and I didn't know
what to say, but a sale is a sale, so I took her money, put it in a
bag, and thanked her. She left, and the first lady wandered down a
couple of tables to look at some pens.
I really felt bad until her husband strolled by again and whispered
behind his hand, "That's a sneaky way to buy a Christmas Present!"

My biggest problem on gifts for the wife is sneaking a sale in every once in a
while and not telling about it (until later)
Can't use credit cards 'cuz she pays the bills, so has to be a cash thing if I
want to surprise her..
