Strange things I buy

About once each week, I like to peruse my local Pier 1.

It is difficult for me to describe the joy I feel once I enter that shop and the signature ding-dong rings the moment I step on the automated floor mat.

It's just bliss. Sheer bliss.

I just love the scent, the beautiful colors, the colorful products...it's all so happy and uplifting.

I usually don't find anything that I have to have (or can afford), but last night, I came across something that I inexplicably could not leave the store without.

This guy.


Isn't he so cute? He is a flying pig piggy bank, and his name is Pierre!

I am going to keep my lucky pennies inside him.

I think he is also appropriate since Cincinnati's mascot is the flying pig!

    C has a mascot?! Does RVA!? Must find out! He is a cute little piggie! I live closer to Pier 1 than I used to so I am enjoying going more often! Our bar stools are from there!

    SO ADORABLE! I love my pink piggy bank but Pierre is probably the cutest piggy bank ever.

    GIRLLLLL I'm with you on the Pier 1 obsession. I love that place and hubby hates it. Haha.. he always bitches everytime I buy something from there. The truth is I very rarely spend full price for anything in that place. Usually everything I buy is on sale. Did you see the $500 table I scored for $125? I need to start posting the deals I find in there.. The secret is to go on Tuesdays when they mark everything down!
