Ashley Furniture weekly update for Friday, July 12, 2013

The day before my son’s wedding (which if you remember was a week ago yesterday – July 4th) I had my very first manicure and pedicure.  For my manicure I chose a simple pink color for a natural – but polished – look (did you see my wee pun there?  I got my nails polished for a polished look!).

I’ve always been transparent about my age (54) and some of you – especially you young’uns – might be amazed that I’ve never had a mani/pedi before and I’ve been thinking about it for the last week and have decided it’s a generational thing.

Though there was – I’m guessing here – probably one woman getting her nails done when I was there who was older than me – the rest of the clientele (and the place was packed) were all 35 and younger.

Not wanting to generalize too much – but my theory is no one who was raised by parents who lived through the depression (granted my mom was only a child but her parents/my grandparents were right in the thick of it) wants to pay money for something that looks like this one week later!

True, I do a lot of physical work which might be why my manicure didn’t last and this week we had an unusually large amount of furniture to arrange to add to my polish woes…

…but what was bad for my nails is great for anyone looking for amazing furniture at unbelievable prices!  What follows are photos of SOME of what was donated this week.  Our store hours are Fridays from 1 to 8 and Saturdays from 9 to 4.

sweet table and four chairs for $95

Now to be completely fair – my toenails still look great (possibly because I don’t move furniture and wash dishes with ‘em?) and overall the experience was pleasant (I was a little worried that I wasn’t doing it quite right – I never seemed to know when to lift my foot up and when to put it back in the water and it took me a while to figure out all the buttons for the massage chair I was sitting in) – but I doubt it will become a regular thing for me.

That said, I want you to know whether you can’t live without your manicure or you’d never dream of spending the money, you are welcome – just as you are – at Ashley Furniture!

‘Cause – dear reader – that’s the way we shine! Winking smile
