Dear Pottery Barn-

Thanks for the great full color catalog you send every month that I never buy anything out of.  I get the best ideas from you and never have to pay you a cent - that's true friendship.

I LOVE the dinosaur wall hanging in the picture below, but at $179 my husband lovingly said NO WAY!

In true form, I set out to make this masterpiece on my own.  Normally, when I "make" something it comes out looking, well "made" by me.  Not this time....I got some scrap wood from a neighboors torn down fence, cut it down to size, painted it antique white (which i already had), sanded it, and asked my dear Nanny K to get her artist boyfriend to paint me a dinosaur and Ta-Da!  All for $0.  I tired to convince Mike he should give me $179 because that's how much I saved him, but I am still waiting on my payday - RUDE.



So, Pottery Barn please don't be mad.  I know that wall hanging probably cost you $10 and you really needed the extra $169 to buy yourself some monogrammed wall sconces and a giant nautical compass, but not this time.  Please continue to send me your ideas and I will try and copy them, because we both know it really should'nt be that expensive.

Sincerely,

Dinosaur, Dinosaur  - Do what ever the dinosaurs do (said in a song tune)

PS - This post is dedicated in loving memory to Nanny K!  I desperately miss you.
