Oh The Dilema... Pre-order 2 of new carts or wait?

[calanniebu]

Just got back - bought lots of 4/$1 Bazzill and bought all four new carts. But, having MAJOR buyer remorse and will probably be returning some or all...

I like them - but don't really LOVE them - may keep one for myself for under the Xmas tree. Sigh...

If it makes you feel any better, I got three out of the four this morning ... and a rain check for Life is a Beach b/c I lost the one from Mikes. Between that and the Martha Steward Punches it's been a REALLY expensive weekend.

I got two and rainchecks for the other two. I'm peeved that they didn't have them all, but I too am having buyer's remorse (I'll think about it, but I'll cut those puppies open before I think too hard about returning them ).

I actually went this morning to grab cheap Bazzill and hoped to find the Spongebob cart. (And maybe to just *fondle* the four new carts...)

But, our local ACM only had the same old same old ones out. We had turned to leave and saw one of the staff who asked if we were looking for anything - I asked if they had any more carts anywhere. She said "Oh, are you looking for the four new ones? We've got those in the back. I'll bring out all four."

So, she did - and I simply couldn't walk away. But, I'm not opening them and will look more carefully at the images and see how many I'll REALLY use...

Sigh. Ended up with rainchecks for Spongebob and TBs Storybook cart.

Also hit Js and Absolutely Everything today. Sad to say, we bought a lot! At AE, everything in the store was 25% off (even the Copics!) and all the Christmas and Halloween stuff (even the NEW Martha Stewart corner/border punches) was 50% off! I got the curly ones I've been wanting...

Where is AE again? I may need to take a FIELD TRIP! Actually, I shouldn't, I've spent so much money lately. I've GOT to stop!

It is in Topsfield, MA (exit 50 off 128N) - about a mile away from the entrance to the Topsfield Fairgrounds - a fun family day trip in October...ya hear what I'm sayin'...? It is a marvelous store - truly has EVERYTHING.

But, the four new carts are going back to ACM this morning - we've been scrapspending SO much lately - gotten great deals on most of it! - but we've got to draw the line somewhere.

Lalalala, I can't hear you! I can't know where it is, I may just go!

PF--any chance those carts haven't gone back yet?? I'll gladly pay you shipping and cost for the Everyday Paper Dolls if you'll send it to me!! PM me & let me know!

 

[morgansmom2000]

Now that's an idea! I call the Winter one!

jennifer - which ones did you get??

 

[morgansmom2000]

Sweethearts and Kitchen. I'm going to the Framingham store today after work. I need to go to Kohl's and exchange something, so...I'll be right there...I hope they have the other two. I need to find a 50% off coupon, I want the Purple Cows Trimmah too.

 

[PinballFamily]

Sorry, girls - I'm such a dope! I should have thought that fellow DISers might *need* these carts. I just got back and saw your messages.

But, I returned them first thing this a.m. - before I changed my mind (yet again!) about keeping them! (Of course, I was such a popular girl there - needing $170 in a cash refund out of the just-opened store's cash register drawers...groan! I swear most of my money was in singles!!!)

Sorry! Hope you can find them soon - the Somerville, MA, ACM has "mine" and the rest of their stock of the new ones is STILL not out on the shelves. Don't know why they're keeping them hidden -

Sure will! I'm going anyway, no special trips for you

Jeez Louise! I called the store, they were soooo rude! Part of me doesn't want to give them the business, but I'll still go over and see if they actually have them (they said they didn't, but maybe Miss Pissy Pants will be gone when I get there after work and someone will know more).

.Miss Pissy Pants

OMG!!!!!! my mother used to say that ALL the time! that is way too funny.
are you channeling her???

 

[morgansmom2000]

Cue freaky Twilight Zone music I don't think I've ever said that in my life, but it really fit. Especially cuz I got there and they had all 4 of them!

 

[party of 3]

ooooohhhhh weird!!!!!! she did say it ALL the time. that's way to freaky!


ok. i just went to the site to check them all out and decided that i have got to have the kitchen and winter and calendar ones!!!!
i wonder if b'ham has any of them?? i did finally get the beach one from my m's raincheck.

thanks for picking that one up for me today! who's better than you??

 

[morgansmom2000]

Nobody's better than me, except you!

They had the kitchen and sweethearts at B'Ham last night. I have a raincheck for the winter one (which I found in F'Ham tonight), I can hold onto it for you. The calendar one isn't available yet.

 

[party of 3]

i'd love the raincheck for the winter one. i'm not sure i'd use the sweethearts one?? anything good on it? you can use it for the wicked bride!

 

[morgansmom2000]

OKDK, I'll let you know when it comes in.

Do NOT get me started on the WB. I was searching Christmas Tree Shop desperately for a popcorn kit to go with her shower gift (nothing like waiting until the last minute, it's this weekend). Struck out...Ah well, she'll like the rest of the stuff or not, what can I do?
