Mosaic Monday~Merchandise Monday

Joining Mary for Mosaic Monday..please check out the other mosaics at
Little Red House
..Thanks, Mary..

Fall Shopping..

Photobucket

The pics aren't that clear, but my driver was threatening to leave without me. I had to take them while running after the car....I had just filled up the back of his freshly vacuumed car with many pots of mums :(

The pictures were taken in Jamesport, L.I., NY at Gabrielsens...

And today I launch Merchandise Monday :)...There isn't a meme with that name is there??

I like to do my share in helping the economy, but only if it is a sale...

So..what's in the box???

Photobucket

I haunt the PB/WSonoma OUTLET..Bob, Rose and Susan are my cashiers of choice. They always let me know if I have missed a week..
I try not to...but it does happen...

Back to the box...

Photobucket

Said the sticker...

Photobucket

This was inside..shiny metal...little clips on the back....I imagine they are THING holders...I can think of lot of THINGS for them to hold...above my craft table for all my equip...or...

Could spray them another color, like green, fill with greens, decos, etc and hang on the door...or paint my gkids names on them for a school notice, reminder holders..so many possibilities...oh, a Metamorph Monday post in the making! :)

And the price,.. . .. .25 yes, twenty five CENTS. I had to buy some. They were packed so nicely...

And now these boxes..

Photobucket

The price was right...$3.97 for a service for 4...(who would pay those original prices???...I know you wouldn't!)

Photobucket

And inside....I got blue, yellow and green...the blue I got a few weeks ago for a little more)

Photobucket

The mustard napkin rings in front were .99

And I can't wait to do a little tablescape with these. The Tablescaper, Alma, made me buy them. I had no intentions...all her fault...

Photobucket

So that's my little merchandise Monday..let me know if you want to see it again..
I am happy to do my bargain bonanza show and tells...not much of a RL audience..:)

As always, I appreciate your visit...

    I am SO jealous of your outlet!! I have to find out if there is one near me. The blue thingie is fantastic. I would have it packed in a minute!

    You know there is a Mosaic Monday, don't you?? I forget who does it but I can let you know. Lot's of bloggers showing off great pics. I love the 'merchandise'!! Laughed really hard about hubby's impatience!!! So like my husband too. But I would freak over the clean and vacuumed trunk!! ;-)

    Have a happy week!!

    xoxo

    Great post, Kathleen, ... Love the mosaic and I never tire of seeing and reading about your bargains.

    Your new fall header is fantastic. Love all the details from the acorn dishes and napkin rings to the acorn mints (or is it butter).

    Killer Miller the Bargain Queen of all time!!! You slay me woman..I couldn;t find sales like that if I tried. Can't wait to see your tablescape with those checkered plates!! (I'm sure Alma really had to twist your arm)

    Great Goodies Kathleen.
    You R the Best Bargain Queen out there!!
    I can just picture you running after your 'Driver'...lol

  20. The TablescaperSeptember 28, 2009 at 8:13 PM

    It's hard to twist her arm when I wasn't even there!!!! But I can't complain too much as Kathleen was really doing me a favor. I had scoured the 3 Home Goods (now that's some driving) and could only find 10, so I sent the shopping queen in search of #11 and #12. Of course she found them! LOL.

    I can't wait to use them. The funny thing is that I'm sure I'll tablescapes will be completely different, even with the same dinner plates.

    I think Merchandise Monday is a must! You know I'd have a hard time participating - ha ha!!!

    I do have to say I NEVER find sales like these when I'm at the WS outlet. They must save them for Kathleen - that's why she knows all of the good cashiers!

    You are my idol! I saw those plates at our Homegoods and I would have bought them had I not already owned the MacKenzie-Childs chargers. Alma was right :)

    I'd have a hard time keeping up with you but Merchandise Monday sounds fun!

    I love your merchandise Monday and would love to see it every week! You have always been the bargain queen in my eyes - I don't know how you do it. I love the MC knockoff plates - and can't wait to see what you kind of tablesetting you do with them.

    Oops, almost forgot the mosaic was gorgeous and those peaches...are they as big as they look?
