The response usually includes some comment about how that must have been very expensive. She gives them a little smile and says "yes, but I know the artist personally and just had to have one of her pieces, because she only makes a small number and no 2 are ever even similar- I know she only charged a fraction of what it is worth because of our friendship". Ha! She is such a doll!
