The One that Got Away: "Bye"...

Hosted by "How Sweet The Sound"

For today's PINK SATURDAY, I will pay tribute to my (*sob*, *sob*...)

Bordallo pink scalloped cakestand.

I had to return this one because I wanted a different set of Bordallo plates. I'm nuts I know, but sacrifices have to be made sometimes... (*sob*)


There was nothing wrong with her, she's beautiful, except that she was an impulse buy at 40% off. I miss her, I hope I find her again at Marshall's waiting patiently for me, hopefully at 50% off... or more...

Now leave me to my sadness and go and check out other pink goodness in other blogs at Beverly's of "How Sweet the Sound". I'll be ok...(*sob*)

Thanks for coming by... (Wahhhhh!!!!!)
Oh, you're still here? Oooppss! Sorry for the drama scene there.

    Welcome to your first Pink Saturday, Carolyn.

    I would be having a bit of a cry about that, too. I love Marshall's - and TJ Maxx - and Tuesday Morning - and Home Goods. Oh, I admit it. I'm pathetic.

    I share your pain! You are very brave to return it!!!
    Speaking of cake plates, you asked where I got the snowflake cake stand that my cupcakes were on. They were on sale after Christmas at Cracker Barrel 70% off. I think they are all gone now. You might try ebay though. :D Jewel

    Awe. I'm sorry you had to make this sacrifice. You are a brave person to part with such a beautiful pink plate. Who knows. Maybe it will show up again at 70% off. Wouldn't that be nice.

    Welcome to Pink Saturday, and you have far more willpower than I! I could never have parted with that beauty girl! Those ruffled edges and that pink color? Nope! I join you on your crying jag. Pass the Kleenex, please... until you find something you like better! ;-)

    Happy Pink Saturday...

    XO,

    Chandy, you cracked me up. A very original pink post today. I am sorry for your return too. It is really pretty. However, who hasn't been guilty of an impulse buy.

    Hugs...Jeanne

    Too bad you had to take back that pink beauty. I'm a little dramatic, too, when I have to give up something I like a lot.

    Hello Marivic!
    I know, I feel so bad. I went to Marshall's today to see if it's still there. NO! I did find the small white Daisy Bordallo cake stand but it was chipped that's why they marked it down. Oh, well...

Niceties first

HELLO AND WELCOME to this blog dedicated to my obsession of tablescapes, and ONLY TABLESCAPES!
That means that whatever I post will be redirected to tablescapes or you will see tablescapes or the dishes and glassware that I used AND wish to use.
I hope you like you what you see; but you can't do that unless you take the tour- the TABLESCAPE TOUR that's on the side bar! I'd also love to take you on my adventures on finding great dinnerwares to display and use while leaving some serious change in your pocket, so stay a while and see all of my great deals!
