I have a feeling that Pat Cattan's craft store and I are going to become much closer friends than we already were, prior to my engagament.
About a week after our engagement, I bought three winter berry garlands at 50% off. I'm kicking myself for not buying more, as they were all sold out a week or so later.
Two weeks ago, my sister and I were there getting votive cups for our friend's post wedding bridal shower favors (I should post that story somewhere), and we found glass tea light holders on clearance for 10 cents each. I bought 40, and almost cleaned them out. When I told my FH that we had 40 tealight holders he said "How many!?"
In that same trip, I bought 40 snowflakes as well, at 50 or 75% off, I can't remember. My sister and I told my mom that we got "80 things for $7.00!!!" We sounded like little girls...lol.
While were there two weeks ago, we found the natural pine garland that I wanted. We roughed out the number of table I'll probably have (you have to picture us hunched over the cart using her calculator) and figured that the garland, even at 50% off was going to cost me $80.00 - we left the garland in it's bin at the store.
This past Saturday, I was visiting Pat Catan's again for supplies to make centerpieces and baby sock corsages for my sister's baby shower. The first sign I saw was CHRISTMAS CLEARANCE ALL 75% OFF! I grabbed my cart and grabbed 21 6 foot pieces of natural pine garland for $50.00!
I took my prized pine to my parents house to store it and my dad said "You bought what?!?" FH said "You bought how many?!?"
Wonder what I'll find on my next trek to the store?
