Shopping -- Marshalls and CTS!

In case you don't know it, I LOVE the Christmas Tree Shops (CTS) and Marshalls for really good deals. I also love Pier 1 and Home Goods but, by the time I get out of Marshalls (which is in the same shopping complex), I've usually spent all of my money at Marshalls! Here are some of the items that I purchased at the CTS and Marshalls recently. First, the Christmas Tree Shop... When I was a teenager, a friend and I visited my cousin in Calif. and she took us to Knott's Berry Farm. We had such a great time! So every time I see anything to do with Knott's Berry Farm, it brings back such good memories. Hence, my purchase of this product! $2.99 -- don't really know if that's a good price or not! Also from the CTS: I bought these Waverly tablecloths, because they were only $12.99 each and they are indoor AND outdoor fabric tablecloths! Thought they would look nice in the Summer for when 'company' comes over. Also from the CTS, these are for using when it's just my son and I eating outside... They are PLASTIC tablecloths! Aren't they pretty for plastic coated? Love the Waverly one. These are just some paper napkins from the CTS -- so pretty -- and the cocktail napkins were only a dollar each, and the larger ones being about $1.69 each. And last from the CTS, two little tealight holders. Only 69 cents each, I believe!

And now, my treasure from Marshalls! I LOVE anything RED. I do not have any little square plates, so when I saw these, I had to get them. Aren't they pretty?

Oh, that little fragrance bottle is a Laura Ashley spray ($2.99) for sheets, etc.

Then I saw these little plates, and had to have them. I thought they were so cute, PLUS they were on sale.

And last, but not least, I saw these rooster plates... I bought them because a long time ago, I purchased 4 reddish plates (you will see them below) and when I saw these little rooster places, I thought they would match nicely with the other large plates I had! What do you think? I tried to ask my son his opinion of them together, and he said, "Rooster plates???" and that was all I got outta him. /:(

Here they are with the bigger plates I already had in back... I think they look pretty together...

I hope you enjoyed seeing my new treasures! And I hope my NY pal, Kathleen--from cuisinekathleen.com --is seeing this! She's another loyal CTS shopper! Click here to get to her blog, it's great! She has wonderful tablescapes, PLUS really wonderful delicious-looking meals of which she posts photos often!

Best, Gloria
