Since I live within walking distance of this store, I believe that I have spent about 1/3 of my life walking the aisles for 'deals'. Over the years I have purchased fine crystal vases, plastic thermal mugs, several sets of pottery art for dining. Tablecloths, placemats, napkins, silverware (several sets) Colonial Candles, Down Comforters, Down Alternative Comforters, Duvet Covers, Sheet Sets, Pillow Case sets, Blankets, Faux Fur Throws, Mattress Protectors, Bed Pillows, Decorative Pillows, Draperies for both my kitchen and my second bedroom as well as my Master bedroom along with poles and 'metal tie backs'. I have purchased Lindor Chocolates, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, First Cold Press many, many bottles, flavored wine vinegars, balsamic vinegar, bathroom shower curtains, shower curtain liners, pillowcase protectors, 'faux silk' pillowcases. I have also enjoyed the orange gummy bulk candy as well as the cherry flavor of the same. I have purchased several sets of bath towels, bathroom rugs and stacks of washcloths, many, many times. I purchased the Christmas Wreath that I purchased that was all broken down and parts missing. Then I purchased lots of fabric, wired ribbon, in many sizes, patterns and widths. I have purchased rolls and rolls of wrapping paper for holidays, birthdays, and some simply unusual patterns. I purchased curly ribbon, stationery, note cards, ice cream scoops, a $100. Rotisserie Machine, a Gordon Ramsey Counter Convection Oven. I have picked up, stand fans, box fans, pedestal fans. I have several sets of glassware to match all of the different patterns and colors of the dishes that I have purchased over the years. I collect cracked pepper mills and have many from Tuesday Morning. I have a couple of olive wood salt cellars for my kitchen. I have bottle stoppers, champagne cork replacements and crystal glasses with which to drink wine. I purchased some beautiful tall, thin beer mugs with handles. I have serving bowls, platters, big and small. I have a collection of very small dishes that hold condiments or chutneys when the meal calls for them. I have a gardening trowel, two pair of hand clippers for pruning, a set of large pruners for bushes. I purchased four of your metal 'tiki torches', and I purchased the suggested fuel to put into them. I have purchased a garden flamingo, many of your 'bee's and butterflies and birds that are welded onto a thin metal piece so they may be placed in the garden. I have a green fold up gardening seat. I have rubber slip on gardening shoes, I have house slippers, at least three or four pair, I have tee shirt tops, many purses and necklaces for myself and to give as gifts. Just this Spring, when I was putting up drapery poles and draperies as well as the metal tie backs and I always buy twice as many drapes as I need so that I get complete privacy; I also purchased three pair of workout pants, took them home and tried them on. There were more items but I can not remember. I had to return a couple of the drapery poles for exchange for larger ones and only one pair of the workout pants fit, so I had to return the other two pairs. I returned a bunch of the 'inexpensive metal garden 'frogs on a pole' or 'birds on a pole' also an item that 'looked like a tiny birdbath, but the tiny weld came loose so I return all of the 'metal welded inexpensive garden creatures. Suddenly, I was told, in front of two lines of customers checking out, that I was labeled as someone who 'returns to much' and I was placed on some sort of 'probation' and was told that I could not return anything until a certain time period was up. I decided, after being humiliated in front of the lines of folks checking out that if I stopped purchasing items from the store, the opportunity of something breaking or not fitting, or me simply changing my mind, would not happen. It has been about six weeks now and I have not returned anything.
Oh, & I purchased a couple of 'witches hats' around Halloween of last year, and a Summer Big Straw Hat along with several purses and also my shower sprayer that one may hold in their hand to control. I purchased the plastic shelves that fit in the two corners of the bathtub, where I may place shampoo and soap and things like that. There is not a room in my house that does not have something from Tuesday Morning in it. I think that Lindsey does a fabulous job of merchandising, Kathy knows the business and follows all of the rules, as she should, but Lisa has turned this store totally around. She has 'organized it' and 'not only do I think the store looks cleaner' but I heard two women speaking as the exited the building that they thought the store looked cleaner, too.
I love my Tuesday Morning Store and all of it's employees. By now, I should be able to purchase again, since I have not returned anything for at least 6-8 weeks. I also purchased a patio umbrella & a heavy stand to put it in. I have used up my characters now. read more
