I am patiently waiting for my new drapes and shears for the big picture window. When I ordered what I wanted at JCP, I also got the rings that go along. I had no idea how much and knew I was more than likely not getting a deal but I had her grab them. I can’t remember now how many rings she said I needed but looking at my order, I have 9 packs of 7 rings –63 rings. And I paid 61 freaking dollars on them! I could of swore I bought or needed 10 packs of them but like I said, I can’t remember what she said I needed.
Today I went to JoAnn Fabrics to buy some material to make curtains for the camper. They had a sale on drapiery hardware. There they had rings, 10 to a pack for $2.50. I bought 10 packs not remembering how many I needed. So now I have 100 rings for $25. Can you guess where I am going tomorrow?
Today I put up the new curtains in the bedroom and in the living room. Hmmm. In the bedroom because of the cat perch and the little bookcase near the window, they don’t flow nice but in general they look nice.
In the living room I underestimated how big that window was and my 48″ curtain rod was stretched to its capacity and that was after I punched a couple extra holes in the wall. I got sage green for that window. It is a lighter look then the bedroom’s heavy curtains. I like it but it is obvious I need to go back to Bed Bath and Beyond to get the window scarf. Unfortunately I am out of 20% coupons and I can’t justify buying them until I get one of those coupons so I can save $8.
And while I am sharing deals….
Grama wanted me to make her some return address labels. I have lots of frustration trying to print them on my own since they never line up so I looked on line. I found this nice place called Vista Prints. They had a deal for 140 labels for $1.99 with a $5 one time upload charge per custom artwork. I decided to order some for ourselves too. $14 total. Then I finally get around to ordering them. Then when I go to checkout all of a sudden my $1.99 deal is now $6. Apparently Vista Print don’t do email so I have to call. The woman said she couldn’t give me the original deal but had a better one. No custom artwork charge (saves $10), one set of labels for free and the other one at full price of $8. So the total is $8. Cool. The longer shipping was 3 weeks but I figured to spring for 2 week shipping and I got everything 3 days later. Cool.
