Score!
April 4th, 2007
Today was a busy day out and about starting with the dentist, and then shopping for something to wear on Easter (that was very discouraging! 🙁 ), stopping at the cleaners, etc. I had promised my Uncle that I would wrap a package for him to take to a 50th anniversary party he will be attending this week, so I decided to run into Tuesday Morning (yep, it’s a store – we only recently got one in our area) hoping to find a nice gift bag. Well indeed I did find a nice gift bag, tissue and ribbon but waaaaaayyyyy better than that….I got an awesome rolling craft tote in bright pink for $29.99!!!!
I know it’s hard to believe I didn’t already have one – I must be the last stamper on earth! I have been looking at them for 2 or 3 years. The thing that has stopped me each time is storage space. We have a real storage issue in our 2 bedroom, 1 bath house built in the 40’s. So each time I find a tote I think I want, I begin to wonder where I will put it and I’m done. However this was a deal I just couldn’t pass up!
It came with everything you see in the picture. The tote is approximately 17″ x 17″ x 10″. It looked quite a bit bigger once I got it home than it did in the store – maybe because I truly have no place to put it! *roll eyes* It has zippered pockets on 3 sides and tons of velcro-in vinyl zipper pouches for all kinds of little doo-dads and what-nots. 🙂 A three piece set in bright pink for only $29.99!!! As my friend Joy would say “It’s practically free”. I also saw them in green and purple, but I think they only had 2 left. They also had a couple in the faux leather (one of the big brands – I can’t remember what it was) and I think they were maybe $50 or $60. Tuesday Morning (if you’ve never been to one) is one of those close-out stores and they put out new items on Tuesdays. If you have one in your area I’d highly suggest you check it out – all kinds of fun bargains to be had! Happy shopping!!!
PS Blog candy coming soon 🙂

Jami,
Wow what a good deal for you!
We have those Tuesday Morning stores here in Illinois too.. I love to check them out everyone once in awhile.
You never know what you are going to find.
Have a Happy Easter too!

Congrats on your shopping find! Is that why the store is called Tuesday Morning?? I asked an employee once and she didn’t know. I both love and hate that store. I love all the goodies I find there but I hate the VISA bill that arrives after I go there a few times.

Oh, man! I haven’t been in a Tuesday Morning in forever. We have had one everywhere we’ve lived, so I’m surprised *California* didn’t have any! 😉
Great. Now I have to go to ours to see if they have one & if I *need* it. Sheesh, James!!

I adore Tuesday Morning! You really did hit a big scroe on your new bag. Congrats! Pink is my favorite color so I would have chosen that one myself!

Awesome!! Look at your bargain… it’s so cute! And you’re not the last stamper on earth without a rolling tote because I don’t have one yet! 😉

Hi Jami! I’ve been reading your blog for awhile now and I couldn’t help but comment on this one because our house sounds exactly how you described yours. Two bedroom, one bath built in 1946. It’s practically impossible to manage things in such a small space! I completely understand where you’re coming from!! We need to buy new houses to accomodate our addictions!

Awesome find Jami! Tuesday Morning is one of those stores I rarely go to but when I do I always find something I have to have! Glad you finally found a rolling tote!

WOW! That is tote-ally perfect for you! (Yeah, I’m in a corny mood) It’s PINK!!!! 😀

After hearing about your score, I had to go check the place out. WOW! I will have to monitor my visits or else I’ll be in serious debt!
