About 9:15 this morning I arrived at World Market to get some things for Hubby's get-together because they open at 9:00 am, right? No. 10:00 am. Has it always been like that? I really don't think so. Anyway... what to do with 45 minutes? Nothing is open. Except Target. Right next door. And I did need some dishwasher detergent. So I get that, some birthday cards, a soy candle, Envirokidz rice bars (which they wouldn't sell me - important recall info - read this) and try on a Merona Collection sweater really quickly because it reminds me of one of J Crew's current styles (review coming later). Then I check jewelry just in case they have this ring that I want... I found it yesterday but they only had one and it was defective... so just on the off chance they restocked... and guess what -- they did! So now I have this:
And also this:
When World Market f-i-n-a-l-l-y opened, I got in and got what I needed, including some Pilsner glasses, as Hubby had recently remarked that "we don't have any beer glasses" and I take that as a birthday wish. I found it interesting that one of the glasses had a Crate & Barrel sticker on it. Reminded me of the time I was buying pottery in this tiny little village called Dan Kwian in Thailand near the border to Cambodia... way out there... and one of the pots had a "Pier 1 Imports" sticker on it already. Kind of ruined the moment. Anyway, *no* usual Saturday morning Target trip tomorrow because I have done it for this week! I hope everyone has a lovely weekend.
love love love the ring!

ReplyDeleteI am enjoying your shopping escapades. Love that ring and nearly bought the necklace. question for you... how do you store all your necklaces? i have so many and am looking for cute new ways to store. thanks, mindy
ReplyDeleteThanks Mindy! Several months ago I got a big corkboard and pushpins and I hang my bracelets and necklaces on them... keeps everything from getting tangled and I can move them around - plus it's all right there on my wall in the closet so I can see what I have. I'll try to get a pic up in a post :)
