Easter Rabbits and other great buys

20 years ago

I was off to TJ Max stores in MD and VA last week looking for another LC pot, and I wanted to be sure to see it before buying. No luck on the pot from but I got these rabbits for my grandaughters for NEXT year....

Â Â

Â Â

this cakestand for my friend in Maine who loves glasswork and is a caterer.

The mango is one of many scenting my kitchen... delicouus.

Â Â

I also bought this leaf cakestand and have been debating about keeping it tho of course the yellow glass one is going to Maine so...

Â Â

I still don't have that one LC pot butI can keep hunting. ;-) Maureen

Wow! You did good, girl. I have never bought anything at TJ Maxx. Everytime I go in, it is such a dissaray, that it turns me off. I hate rummaging to find things. If it aint out in the open, I don't buy it. I am not especially a bargain hunter cause I don't have the time for it.

Very sweet, MsAzadi. Sheshebop, too bad you can't come to my TJM and Marshall's. Both are usually in pretty good order with many goodies nicely displayed. I have been in another where its pretty carpy, so I guess they're not all the same.

Susie, sorry, I just got back over here. Since it is okay with you, I'll just post a link over on Holidays and send the gals here to see this post. I know they will love your creativity! One of the gals there had made a little round table with the glass elevated above some tiny lights and with lots of tulle squished among them. Think she used it as a desert table. And the stacked plates have been really popular over there for about three years. Miss Karen aka Purplemoon is really quite good at making pretty ones in fact. And dishes--we all drool at seeing pretty dishes a decorating a pretty table like yours. Thanks for sharing. Luvs

Easter cupcakes not for Easter

@texanjana -- I don't have a pic, handy, but I'll tell you this, it took two batches of frosting to get the technique and to find the right consistency of frosting. I'll be honest, one early attempt using pink frosting lining the inside of the bag, stripes of red color gel, and a white interior (like the videos instruct) just ended up looking like a sea anemone, rather than flower! Great for a monster from the deep theme, not so much for spring flowers. Playing with the various tips was fun.

Oh this is all so nice! I agree the Jordan almonds are sooo pretty; too bad none of us here like them. I love the bunny cookie jars on the buffet. As for whiteboards, I am a whiteboard nut! I have 3. One of mine is double-sided, and the reverse is four quadrant graph paper. Very handy when I was helping my kids with geometry, algebra, and (even today!) statistics. I also use them for to-do lists. I must pass along a favorite source for dry erase markers. Really good quality and i love the colors, too! I also am a Workflowy devotee, thanks to you. Were you impacted by their security kerfuffle the other day? I nearly needed a defibrillator. My *life* is on there; I think my to do list is 18 pages long. Andrew is gorgeous, as is your DD. He also has a very self-possessed expression. I know that sounds crazy, but I recall thinking the same thing about my BFF's newborn 20+ years ago. Her daughter, almost from the beginning, had a certain demeanor. Kind of a regal bearing. And still does. FWIW. I expect big things from grandbaby KSWL!

The VA store is much larger than our local one but both seem pretty orderly tho I swear people hide things ...esp the pot or pan I am looking for!

What did happen recently is that I lost my cart... and apparently they keep an good eye out for abandoned carts and snatched mine. aaaaqrgh I ended up going back later in the week for my easter deviled egg dish - which I found restocked!! Determination! Maureen

Yes, you have to be determined! I went back for more than 6 months and finally found the 4th to a sweet little set of appetizer plates!

Maureen, very funny bunnies! I really like the leaf cakestand!

I must be determined! I return week after week to our crummy Marshell's for pieces to my everyday dishes. Every now and again I'll find a piece for a great price and I'm exstatic! It keeps me motivated to keep going back, good thing, because it is not that great of a store.

All of the TJ Maxes I've been to have been great, I wish we had one in my city.

River, if you post a picture, maybe I or someone else can shop for you! I have a very large Marshall/Homegoods and always love an excuse to drive over there. Cindy5NY beefed up her dish collection on this forum, remember!
