Paid $35 for a decorative sign and it had three spelling errors

Picked up a cute wooden sign at a flea market in Austin last weekend. It was supposed to say "Gather Here With Grateful Hearts" but instead it said "Gather Hear With Gratefull Hearts." I almost didn't catch it until my buddy pointed it out. The seller tried to say it was a "rustic style choice." For $35 I expect at least one correct spelling. Has anyone else found expensive typos on stuff you actually paid good money for?

Laugh at the seller's excuse and then ask if "rustic style" also covers misspelling your own name. For $35, you could have bought a dictionary and a sharpie and made your own sign. Sounds like they were hoping you'd mistake "gratefull" for some kind of farmhouse charm. That's not style, that's just careless. I'd go back and ask for a refund, or at least a discount for the three free grammar lessons they gave you.
