Thanks, classytchr. Did you plant tulips? Don't know if southern Jersey has many rabbits as we do here in central/coastal part of state. People who have cats say they don't have much of a rabbit problem but not going to get a cat just for that. I could put some catmint into the butterfly garden to do double duty hoping to attract one big cat who wanders the neighborhood even though I go after him with a broom when he shows up while my groundfeeding avian friends are eating. Saw him grab a mole or baby possum once and shooed him away as birds were eating nearby. He took the prey but my birds were warned off. I'm wondering how I'm going to protect all the bulbs I've planted while they're still tender. Know everything I read says rabbits and deer don't eat much aside from tulips but I'll believe that when and if I see it next spring...LOL. There are plenty of daffodils and other narcissus, alliums, crocus, muscari, hyacinths and others I can't remember. It was a veritable bulb binge. I went so far as to put some in bulb cages and layered others in stretched steel wool to keep squirrels, moles, voles, chipmunks and anything else that web sites said could go after bulbs once they were in the ground. If there was a warning option out there I used it. Sufferin' succotash...now to get past those "pesky wabbits"! Most of the bulbs have to go in containers since there isn't much ground not invaded by tree/shrub roots and/or miles of underground vines that remind me of some old horror movie. I've hacked away with an ax and hatchet as much as I can to plant two small beds with bulbs but the rest are going into containers. I've got bubble wrap and "plankets" to cover yet not smother them to try and keep bulbs from heaving in containers as we go through winter/spring. After first really hard freeze I'll put piles of leaves between containers and "plankets" for added insulation until worst of season is over and then uncover them once last freeze passes. Heck, there's over 150 bulbs so something should bloom! Good luck to you too. We'll compare blooming notes come spring!

That is a lovely purse. My MIL made one for my daughter last year for Christmas. Actually, she did this for all the granddaughters. I don't think that all the granddaughters loved it but my daughter thinks hers is very cool. She loves getting homemade stuff from her grandma. Anyway, I got off the subject. Your purse is very lovely. I'd send her more crafting supplies also. I think she would really appreciate that. Even if she can get it in Bermuda, she still would probably not be able to find exactly what you have sent.

I've ordered once from Houzz... apparently and thankfully I'm not getting these notifications or e-mails, unless they're automatically going to the "Promotions" folder on my Gmail account. Which I don't read. Oh, I've never gotten around to switching my Amazon account to my current e-mail address. I remember getting spam mail from something that said it was I-Tunes or Netflix or whatever it was about ten years ago... requesting money they said I owed... only those mails were going to an e-mail addy I never used with either of those services.

Glad you got your money back - that's the beauty of using a credit card, they have your back most of the time. I agree with lukkirish. Don't let this one bad experience put you off of shopping at online venues that don't have a physical location. That would eliminate sites where you can get really good deals (like Ebay and Amazon) and amazingly unique and well made hand crafted items from sites like Etsy and Amazon Handmade. If you aren't sure, look at how many sales an online shop has made and also at their reviews. That should tell you if there have been any issues in the past. As a last resort, you can always do a CC dispute such as you did in this case.
