Fortunately, they were (though they don't know it). I found the same wreath at Land's End for $59. Better. But still highly overpriced.
To my pleasant surprise, Costco also carries this particular wreath. Only theirs is slightly bigger. Costco's price? $34. Now that's fair.
Why am I disappointed every time I see this sort of price gouging in commercialism? I know I should expect it, but it really does make me sad.

Hey you could probably make it yourself for half the price :)
Today I went to Costco with my mom and was a little upset to see the exact same pjs I just bought for Madeleine - about 6 dollars cheaper. And I bought 4 pairs for the winter.
and why do I like the pomegranate and pepperberry wreath for $159.00...huh??? I will end up using my same ole wreath...given to me by my mother-in-law after she got tired of it...I did spruce it up a bit with some cute inexpensive little birds from Michaels.
I'm with you. Good bargain hunting.
Beth, I know you're right, but then I'd want to give it away.
Oh my, Cheryl, you have expensive taste! :)
Thank you, Amy. It took a little help from Google and about ten minutes of my time.
I love the Williams-Sonoma catalogue and I hate the Williams-Sonoma catalogue. I find that it skews my perspective on how much I should be spending on nice things...and yet, some of those kitchen tools are SO very nice.
And don't even get me started on their desserts!
I ooh and I aah and then I move on. I was at Costco last night and you're right; they have a more than adequate selection.
