And Now We Bring You...A Successful Purchase!

So the general consensus (so far!) is that the hair comb isn't all it cracked up to be. Which is unfortunate, because I checked White Aisle's return policies and they allow no returns on jewelry items - including hair pieces. DANG IT. I wish I had seen that sooner - I'm not sure I would have ordered it! But then again, I guess a $30 loss isn't that terrible. I suppose I can take it to my hair trial next weekend and see if we can make it work.

But now I bring you a successful purchase!

Remember my post on card boxes? Earlier this week, I sent an email to my mom, basically to the effect of, "It's silly to spend money on a card box. Why don't we just borrow the white bird cage your friend's daughter-in-law used at her wedding?"

Then I went shopping on my lunch break.

And at Jo-Ann Fabrics I found this - the perfect bird cage!




I don't think my pictures do it justice. The sides are long tall slots, while these pictures make them look checkerboardish (is that a word?) like the bottom.
Won't this be pretty with a nice sign and ribbon on the front? I love it!
And the best part? It was originally $35, on sale 60% off! (That means I got it for $14!)
But then I went back today and saw they are now 70% off. Dang.
I'm still very happy with this purchase. What do you think of it?
