Guess where I've been?
Back to Pier I.
I was looking for new inspiration. It won't be long until we start the season's first fire, light the first apple spice candle, and wrap ourselves in a favorite snuggly wrap. Some of you have probably already done this, I'm pretty sure. I've had some emails about wearing some foot warmers.
The choices of all their candles, incense, and oils made decision making difficult. An Asian-spice actually was very nice. I bought a spiced cake oil diffuser. I think I'll be pretty happy with that. It's not too over-bearing.
I loved the sunflower pattern on these dishes. It really gave a fall feel of harvest. The whole little setup was adorable.
Loved this. I would find a place for it (somewhere).
Pier I had a lot of fall dinnerware in all the fall colors. I was oohing and aaahing over everything. I bet I stayed in there over an hour or so. I have no room in my cabinets for dishes. They are my weakness. But, if I did ... I could have done some serious shelf clearing at Pier I today.
However, only a few little things were tucked in my basket home.
Hammered glass candle-holder. Love that look with a flickering candle. Of course, I want to try the little La-Tee-Da.
Harvest Reed Diffusers
The best deal was a large urn type oval ceremic pot; sits about 3 ft high. I just don't have a picture of it to post yet. There was a chip, which I can easily hid. It was about $120 or so dollars. The chip at the top was hidden with all these twig things and fake flowers, etc. Okay... it was reduced to $40 ... I told her I would take it for $30 and relieve them of their damaged merchandise. Yes, the deal was made. Thank you Pier I.
Don't be afraid to ask.
1st day of fall is Friday. Are you feeling inspired?
A girl after my own heart...... asking for the deal and getting it!! Bravo!!
ReplyDeleteI think we'd have fun shopping together as I'd be drawn to the same things!
However the full cupboard problem keeps me from bringing any more home..... I think it's good therapy to look though! LOL!

I already did this trip last week! I have some of those candles, they are in a post a few days back..lol.. and I did pass on the dishes but they were do darn pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love Pier 1 especially at this time of the year. The store near my office is under renovation; I'm going thru withdrawal just waiting for the reopening!
ReplyDeleteAsking for a deal and getting it is great. I wish it felt more fall like here, but it does NOT.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day and your wonderful goodies.

I just love the smells of Pier 1. One of my favorite places to buy candles.
ReplyDeleteYou have reminded me that I must stop in at our Pier 1, it is across the street from the mall where I will be picking up my candles tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI get my candles at Bath and Body Works..Slatkin 3 wicks are my favorite. Isn't it fun to welcome a season in with a new yummy smelling candle?
Love Pier One and I stop into ours every month of two just to see what's new and if they have any great markdowns. It's just a yummy place to be sometimes.
ReplyDeleteSo much great stuff to choose from! AND, to get such a great deal! Enjoy your goodies! It's still in the 90's here...
ReplyDeleteWe've already have the fireplace lit up! Nights are getting chilly - my favorite time of year.
ReplyDelete...I can't go their ... I would buy everything. We have a Pottery Barn store AND a Williams & Sonoma store nearby.. I can't go in there either, now that I have two horses...
ReplyDeleteNo Pier 1 in my local, however, I do receive their flyer and drool. Good for you, I would say you got yourself a deal! I find it very difficult to speak up, I need to work on this! This is difinitely my favorite time of year, no fire in the wood stove as of yet, however, it will not be long. Greetings from Maine, Julie.
ReplyDeleteI am now sister!!! It makes me want to jump in the car and travel the 70 miles to Pier 1 so I can brighten up the Ponderosa!
ReplyDeleteYou have yourself a marvelously blessed and beautiful day sweetie!!! :o)
Hey sweetie, I just wanted to thank you for hoppin' on my blog. I sure hope ya'll enjoy the ride!!!
ReplyDeleteGod bless and in the words of that wild and crazy Granny Clampett, "ya'll come back now...ya hear!" :o)
