ops, I did it again.... ha! ha! ha!

GREETINGS!

hope you all had a fabulous week! so excited, it's friday and my weekend has finally begun! YEAH!!!

anyway, i have this weird love affair with tuesday morning! not sure why? it's always hit or miss, right! just like tj maxx and marshall's! well, tuesday morning did it again!

well, last night i stopped over at tuesday morning and found [bought] these fabulous [quite heavy] le cadeaux rooster melamine dinner and salad plates! SCORE!!!!

below is a view of the dinner plates. PERFECT FOR SUMMER ENTERTAINING!!!

curious, anyone remember williams-sonoma or sur la table selling something like this last year or may be it was the year before? can't remember, all i know i didn't want to pay around $20 for an acrylic dinner plate! LOL!

so i did a search and ended up finding a set over at ORVIS. check out the prices and making a price comparison, i know i really scores on this one! click here to see plates that are shockingly similar!!!! so excited,considering i paid $4.99 for each salad plate and $5.99 for each dinner plate! YEAH!!!!!

anyway, the 1st first store i stopped at had 4 dinner plates and 3 salad plates. of course, i needed 1 more! ideally, i wanted at least 8 place settings! so the associate called around and found a couple of other pieces. so this afternoon i stopped by another tuesday morning and bought what they had in stock. so right now i have a 6 piece set! i am on a mission for 2 more place settings, LOL!!
can't wait to use them in the summer on our patio! oh wait, almost forgot our patio set is back at our house in grosse pointe! guess i'll have to wait a little longer to use them then, lol! at least our tenant makes good use of our brick patio and patio furniture! ha! ha!

once again i have BANNED myself from shopping at tuesday morning! that place is dangerous! love that store, which is why i have to ban myself again! LOL!

UPDATE: i found another site that sells le cadeaux rooster melamine dinnerware, plus some other fabulous patterns! sheesh, i want more! anyway check out the frenchy bee! this site is AWESOME! currently, i have a few items in my basket! including some matching serving pieces...SCORE!!!

i also picked up a couple of other things, of which include two of these tote bags!

perfect to totes for store whatever?!?! aren't they cute! best of all they are collapsible! i just love the PINK & GREEN! color combo!
