The Christmas Tree Shop

I got pretty much the rest for the centerpieces in PA at The Christmas Tree Shop yesterday evening! In random nooks and cranny's I was so excited I came across 5 large martini glasses, 5 huge engagement ring (napkin holders?), 5 vintage looking glass perfume bottles with little bauble screw on tops that actually hold perfume and have the little glass stick inside so you can swipe the scent on yourself. I'll probably go to Bath and body works to fill those for the ladies who decide to take the centerpieces home... I also scored like 10 yards of this really pretty sheer silver-blue ribbon, cheap.
Grand total? Including the adorable "An old crab lives here with the one who butters him up" & "Becky's 24 hour diner, clean up after yourself" signs I found? $44.00!

Now I just pretty much need the mirrors all these shiny props will sit on, and maybe a few faux champagne or ivory tinted pearls/feathers and the scattered personalized poker chips. I saw these huge, fantastic round mirrors that would be perfect, but a bummer at $20.00 a pop wah, wah, wah.... I will take pictures when I do my first centerpiece trial run.
I am turning into my parents coming home and telling tales of bargains, displaying my treasures for all to behold lol

To further sweeten the day, as I was walking out the door, the nice UPS man hand delivered the invitations and place cards from eBay.
