Eggy Weggy

It’s no secret we’ve been hunting around for houses lately. It’s not a done deal at this point but we’re making baby steps to getting our own place. I still cannot believe that we can get a newer, larger house for less each month.

This is the only perk I am seeing in the economy at this point.

Anyway the point is we went looking at model homes and I was given an invite to a Pottery Barn Design event at the builder’s design center. This was thrilling to me because on the invite it said that there would be a door prize for the first 50 people AND a chance to win a $500 gift card to Pottery Barn! Needless to say I brought three friends and we gorged on jerk chicken skewers and strawberries.

The Pottery Barn class was fun but mostly just a ploy to shop at their store. We all got door prizes which were $25 gift cards so we left fat and happy. But there was one thing at the event that I had my eye on. A tree of sparkly Easter eggs dangling from branches and set in a cute pitcher. Two of my fellow gift card holders and I went to Potter Barn to see what we could see. I saw said sparkly eggs (keep in mind this was a week before Easter, my computer has been gone a long time people).

Six eggs for twelve dollars!? Are you kidding. “I could make these,” I said to my fellow shoppers. So we did. And mine were prettier and cost less, even with the marked down eggs now online.

What do you think? Have I still got it?

Also, would anyone be interested in a how-to video? I’m considering doing that, but only if you’d be interested in seeing it.
