~♥~ DISAPPOINTMENT ~♥~

Have ya' ever seen something that you just had to have ..and when ya' got it , was so disappointed ??

Then you know how I felt this past week..

Yep!! Disappointment.... big time !!.

I've been looking for some butter molds with a pineapple design on them... and was browsing through Ebay Primitives and found one and without researching it thoroughly, I bid on it..

well, i waited it out and after raising my bid a couple times, I finally won it...

OH HAPPY DAY !!

a pineapple butter mold...

Well in my search , I ran across another one that was smaller and had some painting on the handle... oh I can cover that up .. cause I didn't like the bright flowers on it..

No siree !... no flowers on a prim butter mold ..

well... yeah, you're right.. I bid and it was a small bid and wasn't up for about four days, so I forgot all about bidding and soon in my emails I got this ...

Congratulations from Ebay...

you guessed it ... I won the ugly little floral butter mold....

Well when i received them in the mail later, I quick came home to open the packages...

( which seemed rather small to me  )

but I opened them and ..... wooah !! this can't be all there is to this thing... where's the handle..so I go through all the many tons of wrapping paper... and .... no handle..

Disappointment # 1

Ok on to the next even  smaller package..

and to my utter disappointment..  here before my eyes is this.... "eensy-weensy" ugly strawberry covered butter mold..

Oh NO !! Why couldn't it have at least been a pineapple...painted on there !!

DISAPPOINTMENT #2

well they did have the  pineapple design cut out on bottom... if you had a magnifying glass to look for it with..

The flat one was large enough that you could tell what it was.. Oh JOy !!

Well, I'm still gonna hunt for a

" bigger, better mousetrap" 

If anyone knows where to find a really

nice, inexpensive pineapple

butter mold ..

tell me quick.. before I head back to Ebay

Maurine don't give up... no siree !!

She's still on a search ...

so until next time, here's searchin'

Blessings,

Maurine ♥

that's the way that eBay is. Too many surprises really. I've gotten several lemons and you don't ever get satisfaction.
