Oh, The Best Laid Plans..... :/

Saturday, December 8, 2012

A few weeks ago I ordered a very large wooden trug filled with holiday greenery.  It would have taken-up most of our sofa table.  I was so looking forward to it coming in.

I ordered something like this but larger:



This is from FTD's Better Homes and Gardens collection.  The one I ordered would have been slightly larger and taken up most of our table.


But this is what I got instead:


Ummmm.....not what I wanted, although this is very pretty garland from Terrain.


Meh!  Meh X 10!!!  :/   

Sad.....so, so sad.....So then I went to the grocery store and found this guy:


This is the extent of my fresh greenery other than our wreath and mailbox saddle.
Pitiful.  Just pitiful!

I'm not decorating the sofa table.  I'm over it.  Whatev.  This little guy can live on my kitchen counter and make me smile!  He was way overpriced @ $25.00, but a whole lot less expensive than what I ordered!

Until next time...

Blessings!

  4. Did they sell out of what you had actually ordered? That didn't seem like much of a substitution, which stinks! I do really like your Snowman container and fresh greens, and I'm sure he does make you smile.

  6. That is so crappy. I hope they are at least refunding your money. Turkeys. Not as if it was in any way similar. I am sorry. I guess the forces are telling you to scrap the decorating. Are you going skiing this year?

  7. That's upsetting Ricki. But I love the little guy's face there. He's smiling and I hope he will spread the happiness in your home too.

    Thank you for linking up friend. :)

  11. What did the company do when you told them they sent you the wrong thing? I hope they plan to send you what you expected. I like your substitute though xox

  12. They should definitely refund your money. Such a disappointment, but I like your smiley snowman :)

  13. Boosauce! I hope you were able to return that swag...doesn't seem like a finished piece ready for display at all. But the snowman is cute, and fits with your decor. :)
