CHANDELIER silver-toned

CHANDELIER silver-toned. New. $100.00. 207-570-0760.

Page D2 of the July 8 Bangor Daily News.

Note: Sorry. Last night I got home and crashed on my bed, falling asleep. I was too unconscious to post.

Preconceived notions: Somebody is living the good life.

I call at about 4:15 p.m. on July 8 and an old grandma-sounding voice answers.

She wants to tell me all about her chandelier. She said it's very pretty. In fact, she bought two and hung one over her table. The other was supposed to be for her house in Florida. For whatever reason she decided not to bring it to Florida. She's trying to move to the sunny state next year. Right now she spends winters there -- and by winters I mean anything-but-summers. -- but she wants to move there year round. She's pretty upset about the rain in Maine, and said next year, if her move fails, like her moving the chandelier did, she isn't coming to Vacationland until June. Not May, which is the month she came this year.

SO ... *breath* ... She gave the silver chandelier with crystal drops, which she found in a JC Penny catalogue, to her friend. Her friend put the thing together only to realize this would never ever fit in her house. So now this lady is stuck with it again. She paid $300 for it.
