If I Weren’t Moving…

January 27, 2012

I was at TJ Maxx the other day looking for one or two specific things, but a bunch of other pieces caught my eye. If I weren’t moving soon, I’d totally snap these up. Dutch ovens and ceramic bakeware. The pots were about $30-$59 each, which is an excellent deal. These shower caddies and organizers [...]
