OMG! Karen, your story brought back memories--rushing to get to work, look down and nasty looking comfy yard shoes still on, or like Jeanne, sitting at desk and look down to see two different colored high heels--and nothing to change to until I could run home for lunch! (I finally started carrying an extra pair of black heels in my car since I knew I'd probably mess up again.) I can imagine your embarrassment--and your friends hoots of laughter! ;o) Lots of good finds (in addition to the tennis). Those domes will keep goodies protected from the kitties and look good too. You always seem to find neat bunny items, that purple jar is just perfect for you and the metal ones will work indoors or out. Glad you had fun and were able to go visit with your friends. Luvs

Hi Paula, Great minds must think alike. ha I've already done what you just did, but I don't know how to post pics. I also took three plate with the bowl on the bottom turned upside down, and put marguerita glasses between the plates to form a stocked 3-tier serving tray for our church tea. I'm going to put one of these plates on each table with a beaded fairy sitting on top. I'm going to hot glue the plates for the tea since they'd be so hard to store. I have to make 8 or 9 of these. I'll just put the blow dryer to them, hoping to break them apart after the tea. I haven't tried to do that yet. The plates are just gorgeous, but they're all sold out here. Of course, I'm part of that reason because I bought them for my church. Also, Paula, the large snowflakes from Dollar Tree that have glitter on them make great place mats underneath these plates. That's what we're using. The first layer of our tray (one for each table) will have mini quiches and sandwiches, the middle layer will have fruit and veggies, and the top layer will have cookies that everyone is baking. Your set looks really pretty, Paula, and I know that you can use these plates for every holiday. Just change the color of the mats and decor. Pat

Isn't the Dollar Tree store fun! One of the Crafting boards I go to comes up with the cutest ideas using Dollar Tree finds. I bought a bunch of the mugs that have removable inserts. I replace the inserts with a collage of pictures. FUN! And only a $1. Makes great gifts for the kids to give team mates, etc.

Yeah, I bought one from Pier I and was disappointed that it 'went so fast'. I even posted about it in another thread somewhere. It turns out that the second half lasts longer and it must have been the reeds soaking up all the oil at first. When I replace the one I have I am going to keep the same reeds from the first one and transfer them. Thanks for the 50% off sale tip, naughtykitty!
