I got my daily Etsy email and as I was scrolling through there was a section of soap gifts listed. I’ve noticed over the years that there are some pretty creative soap makers on Etsy. The rest sell bars of stuff that probably make you smell like a Victorian whore, but some of the more creative ones are pretty funny.

Well, we found out who it was that gave us the Mystery Gift. However, we didn’t find out in the way that we intended or would have liked.
Macy’s emailed me this. It’s good through 12/5. Go forth and spend save money!
In case you’re wanting to shop from our Bloomingdale’s registry and especially if you’re wanting to go to a bricks and mortar store, this might help.
Happy Shopping.

I just logged into Macy’s.com. It looks like ALL of our china is marked down substantially. I am actually slightly concerned that this means that it is marked for clearance, never to be seen again. I will check on that, but if you’re looking to save some money on a wedding gift, now’s the time.
If you buy a place setting, you get a free soup bowl. Soup bowls, regularly $95 are marked down to $76. The 15.25″ serving platter, regularly $255 is now $204. You get the idea.
Happy shopping,
~Kelly
ETA: You can also get $20 off any $100 purchase from a registry. Click here for the details. The special runs 9/14-9/27.
ETA the second: I think this sale may have crashed the Macy’s server. Heh.
ETA the third: I have been trying to check and see the Macy’s site all day and it looks like their gateway server is down. You can still get through via our registry link here. Guess this is punishment for stalking the registry… 😉
Lately, Kelly and I have been having a pretty rough time in general. We have managed so far to keep our chins up, mainly due to our love for each other and our little furry kids. But it has also been encouraging that we have gotten a lot of emotional (and sometimes material) support from friends and family, and lately that has also helped us to keep our heads above water financially. So since I feel like I have not said thank you to all of those people nearly enough, I will say so again here. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. I honestly don’t know what we would do without all of you.

Geoff and I just tweaked our registries a bit. There’s a sale on Amazon going on. To quote Amazon, “It’s a 4-for-3 promotion. Eligible products include select Books, Single Copy Magazines, and Home & Garden items. Buy any 4 eligible items and get the lowest-priced item free. Here’s how (restrictions apply).”
Basically, we moved all of our stemware over from Bloomingdales because each glass was $5.00 cheaper at Amazon and the 4-for-3 deal plus free shipping makes it an even better deal yet.
Ok, that’s enough wedding stuff for today.

At least, that’s what my life feels like right now. (Ok, the wedding part, not the squirrel part, more on that later.) Anyway, I just wanted to let folks who might be in the shopping frame of mind know a couple of things.

Those of you who know me know that I refer to the cold part of the year as Cashmere Season. (The hot part of the year is Involuntary Sweating Season. I hate that part, thank goodness it is almost over.) I have even gotten Geoff into some cashmere sweaters. Naturally, I never pay full price. Paying full price is for suckers. Regular readers around here also know that I get daily emails from Etsy. This little gem popped up in my inbox the other day and I just didn’t know what to make of it. Especially in AUGUST. Who advertises this in August???
