closer look at the 3/$1 eggs ...

I couldn't resist these at TJMax...$4.99

These Eggs were a great buy...The Alabaster eggs were $.69 ea and the Mercury ones were 2/$3..

I couldn't resist these two cute guys from CTS..
The faux Chocolate one was $1.99 and the large foil one was $4.99

Now I saved this for last!! I've been looking and wanting these for so long...
The last time I was at CTS, I saw them, but didn't want them because they were decorated and the base was glued (Silicon) on. This time..they only had a couple left... I showed them to DH and asked if he could some how, cut off the base..He said he'd try but the glass might crack.. I said let's try. I bought the two in different sizes. I said do the little one (cheaper) first..if it breaks..I'll return the other. Here's what we started with...

Pretty as it is with the base..but I wanted to be able to put other decorations in there!...This is the large one...

He used his trusty Ban Saw...Blade Scraper..and lots of careful patience...Both...AFTER...

I had to sacrifice the base, but now I get to use them With the little nests...or with whatever else I want to use...

Cute nests...

Both of these 'Babies' cost me TaDa!!...$6.99 for the little one, and $14.99 for the large one, and I still get to keep the cute nests!!
Thanks for YOUR patience in looking at all my 'Fever' purchaes...hope you enjoyed it..

Can't pick a favorite, love it all. The blue candle holders are a great find, and that little yellow dish is so cute! Now I'm eagerly awaiting seeing your new goodies in future tablescapes. The prices at the CTS stores just amaze me--sure allows you to get more that way, doesn't it? We don't have anything out here that even comes close to their prices, so I'm jealous--yet very happy for those of you who can shop there!

Luvs

I love findings like that.

Got a question...what is CTS?

Great save on the cloches - good for your DH!

hugs, Karen

I love all the adorable Easter things..too cute...and so far away! :(
But at CTS if you don't get it now you never will!

I have things to return from my last trip...so I hope to get there soon..
CTS = Christmas Tree Shops for those who don't know..they are spreading out all over..I saw they opened one in KY!

So be patient, they will come!

Jane, you are a VERY bad influence!!! But I loved it..made my day!
Now I am going back to check it out again!

And, kudos, to both you.. to be able to foresee what could be done with the cloches & DH for succeeding! Those are wonderful!

I could rant & rave on everything...but right now will just drool, like purplemoon! TFS your wonderful day! Jeanne S.

A side note, I think the cabin fever shopping is in the air. We took a little drive North this evening and I stopped at TJ Maxx (not real impressed this trip , only found a set of light charcoal wine glasses) & Michaels where I finally managed to find the copper color chargers I've been oogling on Ebay but didn't need the quantity of 24 they were selling them in.. LOL)
Expecting 6-8 more inches of snow here tomorrow night and Monday so I guess it's back to pacifying thy shopping on Ebay and letting the mailman do the work.

hugs, Karen

Luvs...I'm really hoping that a CTS will make it's way to your area soon. They are popping up all over, so I'm sure it won't be long. They do have great bargains.

Wanda...CTS - Christmas Tree Shops. They are a chain that started out in Cape Cod in the 70's. I've been shopping them ever since. ..Recently they were taken over by Bed Bath & BeYond. As Kathleen mentioned, they are spreading out all over. Keep your eye out..there might be one coming your way!

Luckygal...I'll be looking forward to your Shopping Finds!
It's fun to get out and even more fun when you get great bargains. The glass candleholders are actually a nice 'water blue'.. I've seen many aqua things around now, and that color is very pretty too. I'm looking foward to 'playing' with everything too.

karen... I really thought of you when I saw all the 'Bunny' stuff. I could have bought so much more...but I'd end up in the poor house for sure. Imagine if I had a 'Partner In Crime' with me instead of DH...!! I'd have all this Neat Stuff, with No Place to Live!! LOL.
I agree..you don't need a BD excuse to shop..however, having that BD money just makes it EASIER to spend MORE!!

kathleen... I knew once you saw my CTS stuff...you'd be 'Blazing A Trail' to yours!! I'm sure you'll be finding different things at yours, that mine doesn't have. If you do... YOU'D BETTER SHARE!!

jeanne...I was really worried about DH removing the bases on the Cloches. That's why I told him to do the smaller one first..just to see. He said it was hairy, because he had to go slowly to keep the blade away from the glass. Then he had to 'tap' and scrape the excess Silicone off.
I'm excited to 'play' with them now.

MM...love your son's expression 'Whammy Shopping'..cute.
As I wrote to Jeanne...I was real lucky with DH cutting away the bases on the Cloches. I think the two together are what I was looking (price wise) for just one....and, I've got the little nests as an added bonus!
Glad you were able to get out from your 'Cabin Fever' too.
It helps with all this terrible weather..
I'm glad you found your Chargers...lucky you. Were you able to use a coupon for them?
HOpe your weather calms down... just keep thinking,
NEXT MONTH - IS SPRING!!

jane

Easter and Springtime here we come! I continue to be jealous of your Cracker Barrel Easter dishes--now you've got even more wonderful things and I can hardly wait to see what you do with them. I really love the nests that came with your cloches because they're so "woodland" looking. (If only I had the rustic dark stained dining table of my dreams)

Your DH cut the bases off your cloches without a peep, huh? Mine would give it a go, but not without asking me if I wanted them without bases, why didn't I buy them without bases!

I love to decorate for Easter, and I know I'll be steal--er, adapting some of your ideas. I also love the foil bunny, and the box with vintage pictures...like the traditional stuff best but it's all great, especially when you arrange it.

Tomorrow DH and I are going fishing (should be sunny and 50 degrees). I hope the weather in the East clears up soon...

I LOVE everything you bought, am wowed by all of it & had to laugh about Kathleen, she will be out on her snowsled tomorrow with dogs pulling it if she has to!!! LOL

Nice job on the whammy shopping.

I want a CTS near me too! sigh.

Those cloches are WONDERFUL and I love the nests. You sure got Karen excited. Can't believe you had DH cut them apart. That's determination and I Love It!!! You'll be laughing your head off when you see my PUNY little eggs that hang on my Easter tree. I'm so thankful one of my friends gave me some hand painted ones from Canada or I would be to embarrased to post anything here.

Punk

yachter...Yep...Kathleen will be making her way to her local CTS shop. Nothing gets past her...lol
As far as those chocolate cupcake candles...when I go next time, I will look to see if they still have any left and will keep you in mind. They would look cute with your Chefs.

OA...I've seen those chocolate bunnies in many stores.. They seem to be pretty popular this year. I first saw them last year in Home Goods, but now many other places.

party music...keep the faith.. as I said to Luvs.
Also, keep checking out the CTS site..they have a listing of where they are and future sites as well.

MM...you should Register on Michael's site and have them email you their weekly sales AND coupons. This way, when you go, you can print out a current coupon. I do that, because they don't send a flyer to my area.

Hi Marlene..Welcome.
You don't want to 'Short Out' you PC with all the drool!! lol
Glad you enjoyed my 'haul'! I didn't realize until I unpacked everything...how much SPRING I bought.. Guess, just like everyone else, I've had enough Winter already.
Hope to hear more from you, and please join in and share any pictures that you have...We LOVE pictures, as you can tell by the responces to mine!! lol

PUNK!! You've been missed! I know you've been busy and glad you had a chance to 'pop' in.
Glad you enjoyed looking at everything. I don't think your tree will make me laugh...you are always too modest. I'm looking forward to seeing the hand painted eggs your friend gave you.
Looking forward to seeing you back when you get the time.
