I spent the better part of thirty minutes this afternoon perusing the 2/$1.00 bargain bin of Harris Teeter's finest ornamental pumpkins and gourds. Yes, seriously. You jest, but it brought a pretty permanent smile to this face that, mind you, I've clearly still managed to keep for an impressive five hours. As if the 2/$1.00 deal wasn't rewarding enough, these (12) lovely replicas of everything I adamantly adore about fall rung up at a mere and beautifully low 19 cents. Yes, 19 cents. And yes, 12. Overindulging on the inexpensive is a forte of mine. Suppression of said overindulgence just wasn't an option.

I'd be an impressive liar if I told you...
I didn't have a thing for glass jars, either.

I'd also be an impressive liar if I told you...
I wasn't already planning a second trip in the back of my mind.

One for the flowers...

Another for the gourds.

Sigh. The completion of a gourd-eous afternoon's work.
(Yes, I anticipated the pun. No, I didn't expect it to inflict ab-numbing giggle fits.)

nikki. seriously? which harris teeter?????????????? you didn't invite me?? (i am going today!)
I'm sure you've found your way by now, but if I'm catching you before you've ventured out for blissful gourd perusing, Harris Teeter on Guilford College is a gourd meca. Literally.
I can't wait to see you what you found if you've already made your trek. If not, enjoy yourself shopping, love. You'll be in heaven.
