Moving Day!
No, not for me. For Jessica.
A few days ago, Jessica asked if I’d mind accompanying her to Crate and Barrel to buy supplies for her new apartment. Um, mind? Really now, Jessica, do you know me at all? Of course I will go with you. And what’s more, I will buy a ton of items for myself, so you don’t have to stand alone at the cash register when it’s time to pay. Ah, what a good friend I am.
Henry wanted in on the action. He was jumping up, trying to figure out, “What’s Mom photographing up there on the table?” So I put a glass down to his level. (I thoroughly washed it afterwards!!)
As soon as he saw there was no food, Henry lost interest in the glass. Clearly, he does not share my appreciation for pretty dishware.
Above, my favorite of the day’s purchases. Isn’t it cute? Good for soba, perhaps? And below, all the purchases:
Guess how much I paid for all of this…
$50? $100? $100?
How about $30? Deal of the century!! 
(I love a good bargain!)
So how did miss Jessica fare? Well, she definitely spent a considerable amount more than me. But hey, furniture costs more than dishware. What’s a girl to do? At least I stocked her up with free dessert:
See? I told you I was a good friend! (I always make sure to have some sort of fudge babies for Jessica; she likes them more than anyone else I know!)
Question of the Day:
Do you like stores such as Pier One or Pottery Barn?
I used to think these kinds of stores were the most boring places on the face of the earth!
By the way, the best store for dishware is the Pearl River Mart.
Tomorrow: Carrot Cake in a Bowl! 🙂
Cute dishes!
I’ve been dying to go to ikea…. Let’s hope I can go soon!
Oh gosh I love buying stuff for the house! Specially for the kitchen 😀 Can’t wait for summer when I’ll have to decorate an apartment for my bf 🙂
i must admit, im not a big dinnerware shopper, only bc i spend all my money on clothes… hahah
but, at my house we have these beautiful rose dishes that I feel so fancy eating off of. So. hopefully thats good enough 😉
those dishes are NICE tho! I like the two compartments one 🙂
I love IKEA and Target for dishes. I also like to go to the antique place! Those are super cute dishes.
I am getting married in a few weeks, and other than my hubby-to-be, the best part was creating our registries! Can you say Pottery Barn, Ikea, and Williams & Sonoma HERE I COME!!! It was SO much fun, and I can’t wait to see all the goodies that we get.
P.S. I recently started using the Organic Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner that you recommended and YUMM – I love it! I can’t wait for carrot cake in a bowl tomorrow 🙂
Aww yay! Maybe if more ppl start using it, it’ll become more mainstream and they can therefore lower the price! Hehe I can hope, right? 😉
I see beauty in the designs of these houseware dishes. Hope to see some photo’s with one of your latest divine dishes.
We are getting an IKEA in Denver this fall – I’m seriously considering being one of those stupid people who camps out in the parking lot to be there for the official opening of the store. Heck, people camp out for Chick-Fil-A openings, and IKEA is WAY better! 🙂
I waited in line for 4 hours to get beanie babies once. *Hides in embarrassment*
Love those dishes! Great deal!
My favorite is World Market…and searching Goodwill for more unique (and cheap!) finds. 🙂
OMG, those kinds of stores are my FAVORITE. Have you ever been to World Market?? I think you would love love love that store. I also can’t stay away from Bed, Bath and Beyond…i could spend hours in that store!
Ooo I do! I do! They have such cute things… and really funny-flavored Jones sodas!
