Kay, I absolutely agree with you and I'd be upset too. I'd think that people should know better than to trade seeds for plants, but... Cathy

I thought she would too, Karen, normally she loves when we bring out "her" teapot and special yellow cups. However, I think the swing, digging in the dirt, and helping the dogs search the block wall for lizards won out this time! LOL We're in the 80's this week, so it's wonderful. I'm happy if it stays out of the three digits! I've been taking walks in the morning and evening and loving the cool breeze. Gotta enjoy it while I can, I know the heat will come before summer is over! Then I give thanks daily for the inventor of air conditioning! LOL Always love seeing all your wonderful items, and you really do have a knack for displaying things. Always love seeing your pictures. ;o) Luvs

i like the idea of three items or sets of items, but not one time did i or would i ever personally feel uncomfortable with any one person that sent or received more than the stated amount as it apparently has others. ann, this is the first i'm hearing about the quart equivalent. does this hold true for store purchased items as well? i have one item as of today. i already had a whole theme going, but i looked at the items as sets of things and i shared that with a friend who was kind enough to show me the error of my ways. like jessy, i personally would see the condiment compartment dish and condiments and think of it as a set and count it as one, but i can see how it doesn't cut it. i'm hoping a few other things come to mind in the next week so i can wrap this up and get it mailed. maryanne

Last week I purchased a 10" plant arrangement for just $7.99. After a long cold Winter I was excited to find this new arrangement at my local produce store. I took it home and proudly displayed it without my usual inspection and separation routine. Now, one week later whilst doing my weekly plant care I find this arrangement is infested with black fly. I gave the plant a thorough washing and sprayed with both neem oil and a commercial insecticide. In my excitement and hast I had overlooked the basics. Don't be fooled. Take a moment to inspect your new purchases and avoid bringing unwanted guests into your home.
