Tuesday Morning

I like this store — very cool and sometimes unusual items. Most of them are affordable, some stuff is kinda pricey, but it’s cool.
Good parking lot.

Due to previous checkbook abuses, I’m only allowed to go to Tuesday Morning if I have a specific reason. And me being bored on Saturday does not count as a specific reason.
So, I was thrilled to have a specific reason — I clearly needed to review Tuesday Morning for Unilocal!Yay! Plus, I hadn’t been in forever.
Tuesday Morning is a discount reseller of all sorts of things. Each location usually has different merchandise, which ranges from linens to completely freaky looking figurines. I mean, come on, I’m all in favor of useless crap, but what in the hell does a person do with a massive statue of some freaky looking ethnic looking … thing. I mean, what if that thing came to life while you were sleeping? And I don’t get the Madame Alexander dolls at all, but Tuesday Morning often has the discontinued ones on discount.
Don’t mistake this chain as a dollar store or big lots — Tuesday Morning tends to run to higher end merchandise. They have a steller selection of sheets and towels — I don’t even bother buying sheets elsewhere now. Need a fabulous crystal vase to induce your boyfriend to bring you flowers? Tuesday Morning will have one, and for cheaper than a glass vase at Pottery Barn.
I do love Tuesday Morning. They carry discounted high end cookware — and not the cheapy «Emeril» editions. I drooled over a lovely Calaphon stockpot — but decided that I didn’t need to spend 60 dollars right now. I ended up with a kitchenaid silicone basting brush for 4 dollars instead. Oh, and a set of three trouser socks for 4 dollars as well. I was quite restrained, for once.
Oh, and if you need gift wrapping or gift bags, get yourself to Tuesday Morning — they have a great selection. And almost every frame in my house is from Tuesday Morning — their very nice ones are cheaper than Target’s boring ones.
This particular Tuesday Morning has a small book selection — others have larger sections.
