I went to the dollar store today and bought some nice glasses for our new apartment. I even checked the tag and yup! Made in America! Wow!
But then the even more surprising thing- when I was checking out they wrapped them in paper for me- and it wasn't plain paper or newspaper or even newsprint paper- No...It was beautiful tissue paper! Beautiful designs and some thicker, some tissue paper thin. I couldn't believe it! I even commented on it and the checkout lady said she had been surprised as well when she started. I guess this store always uses that kind of paper!
I kept all the non torn pieces and am going to use them in crafts and such! I feel like I got two things for the price of one! And the check out girl was very generous with the paper! :D
That's where I get my glasses too. I was shocked the first time too about the tissue paper. Was that Dollar Tree? Cause that's where I get mine, and how they wrap them? BTW, I noticed some of the exact same glasses at Kmart in the Martha Stewart collection, for more money!

It's never too late to be what you might have been.
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Wow! Who would have thought?!
