Going organic!
At Pearl River: some china to complement my everyday set of dishes (two small bowls and plates, two medium bowls and plates, two soup spoons, in a Japanese pattern of branches of cherry blossom on pale ice blue), two medium serving wooden spoons and two small ones (coconut wood), pickled ginger, raw sugar cubes.
At Sur la Table: icing sugar, liquid glycerin, little chocolate truffle paper cups in festive colours, 6 raspberry blown glass ornaments, one Eiffel Tower blown glass ornament (ornaments 50% off).
At the Housing Works Bookstore/Café: a copy of "Eloise takes a Bawth", signed by illustrator (first edition) for $7.20, a copy of "Luxe Knits: the accessories", brand new, for $10.40, two bottles of decorative read ink from France for $1.00 each.
A good day for bargains!
