Well, when I was in Texas, I found a GREAT store! It is called Berry Good Buys. All of the money goes to domestic violence victims in the Tarrant County area. They also provide a place for people who have escaped a bad situation to shop and replace items they may have had to leave behind. Who wouldn't want to support that???
So, I went in with high hopes- and found some great deals. All of their pants were on sale for $1.00- I bought two pairs of maternity pants to put away for someday (hopefully someday soon). Also grabbed a cute ivy planter/display for $4.00 (will post picture when I post pics of my kitchen redo), and the best part- my new kitty toy holder!!!! I had to stand outside for a few minutes before they opened, and it was love at first sight. It was a bit more than I usually spend ($5.00), but I knew I was supporting a great cause.
So, here is the container I found:

I then spent about 20 minutes gathering up most of the toys in the house...
and found a new spot for them in the living room
To me, not bad for $5.00. I have debated brushing some brown glaze on the outside to where it will be less white and more creme, but I don't want to ruin it. In the days since, I have found more toys around and it is almost full. Yes, we need a 12 step program! Especially since they play with water bottle caps most of the time...
That’s too funny. I’m a Texas gal (not too far from Tarrant County). Someone was just telling me about that place last week. I was going to look it up but forgot the name so think for sharing where you purchased you great find. I now remember them saying it’s on Berry St. It’s a small world. So are you from TX or were you visiting.
ReplyDeleteI love your kitty toy holder. I have a (few) wicker baskets that I use to hold my dogs' stuff... toys, leashes, clothes, etc. I guess I might be a crazy dog lady :).
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe have two gorgeous, playful ferrets that have their toys, too.
You just gave me a great solution to storing their "decorations".
Thank you!
Blessings to you!
oh, ha ha, that is too funny. i have all my cat's toys in a basket, and no matter how many mice are laying around my living room-which the ocd in me can not stand-she still looks in the basket for something else!
ReplyDeletethanks so much for stopping by the cape on the corner...you said your sinatra looks like my cat, but actually i think your rescue does. my sweet girl's a rescue, too.
