Don't Leave Without Me

Do you ever find yourselves making the best purchases on items that caught your eye on your way out of the store? It's almost as if they are calling after you to say, "Wait, don't leave without me!"

I went to Nordstrom Rack today to do a return. I told myself I would only return, not buy today. But as I was walking out of the store I passed through the home accessories and saw this:

$22 is a little steep for me right now, so I almost walked away from it. Then I remembered I had american Express gift cards from graduation and my birthday still. Oddly enough while running my errands today I thought about what I would use them for. I had to stop and get a bunch of essentials at Target and thought of using one then. But I thought that was way lame to use a gift card for boring stuff. But I still hadn't decided what items I would allow myself to purchase with these cards. As I was walking away from this stand it hit me that this would be the perfect way to spend one! Because I would have loved to get this for my birthday! So thank you to my mom or grandma or the others that gave me an Amex/Visa card. Whoever wants to claim this gift to me, THANK YOU!

I already have visions of cupcakes and cookies to place on this all the time. I am just going to leave it out on my counter in my kitchen and always have it filled for visitors ;)

p.s. This Rack only had one available. If anyone sees one in another rack let me know. I kinda want two for entertaining purposes maybe? Online they are $35, but at the Rack they are only $22. What a steal.

Also I went online to look up more stuff from this company. I want all three of these! But mostly the cake stand. Or mostly all of them.
