I just HAVE to tell y'all about the deal I got today! The store that I mentioned I work at is having a 50% off storewide sale in order to get ready for new spring inventory. Well, the store carries jewelry, handbags, and gift items. I have 2 people in my office that had babies over Christmas break, so I was trying to think what to get them...without spending much (not to be cheap, but it is RIGHT after Christmas). So, I had this lightbulb moment coming back to work from lunch and remembered that the store carries these cute cotton bib & burp cloth sets in pastel colors. $12.50 usually, but $6.25 half off! And, on top of that, my mom has a girl at home that mongrams for about $5 for 3 letters. Not $5 per letter like here in Columbia, but $5 total. So, I am going to get the bib and the burp cloth monogrammed and the whole gift will be less than $20. Can't really beat that! They only had 3 sets left so I grabbed all 3 because I know I can use the 3rd sometime in the near future for a gift. I got 2 pastel yellow and a white- I wanted green, but it was sold out. So, I'm thinking I'll do a pink monogram on the pastel yellow since both of the coworkers had little girls. And I'll save the white for future kiddies that are born. I'm really proud of my purchases, can't you tell??
In other news, I'm heading home today to spend the weekend with my parents. I'm ready for some down time...and my mom's cooking! I'm afraid I'll never be as good of a cook as she is. WEG is having boys weekend which includes hunting, fishing, and whatever else guys do on boy weekend. So, if I don't catch up with you this weekend, it's due to the annoyance of the internet at home!
Oh, and Go Panthers & Giants in your playoff games! I know this is silly that I am pulling for 2 teams on the same side because if they both win I will have to pull against one next weekend. Well, if that happens, my loyalties are with Eli Manning & the Giants, but I won't be sad if the Panthers make it to the Super Bowl. I just hope that ONE of them is in the final game!
Happy weekend :-)
What a great deal on the baby gifts. Hope you have a great weekend!!

ReplyDeletedelurking here, and getting back into blogging after giving it up for a while. thought i would drop a line and say how much I like your blog. as a fellow south carolina girl (and former columbia resident), I also felt torn between supporting eli (love that boy, and my boyfriend is a yankee, so now i like the giants) and my own panthers. guess didn't work out for either. bad season for all my teams (gamecock fan). added you to my blog list and look forward to reading! also i like your title, my brother is a cotton merchant.
ReplyDeleteYou must be referring to JTT! I went in the other day and got all sorts of great stuff for such great prices! I was excited about my purchases there too :)
