Affordable Luxury

Hello everyone!
I just thought I would blog and share what happened today. I needed some new towels for the bathroom so I went to Linen's 'n' Things. While wandering through the lush jungle of comforters and shower curtains I stumbled upon a clearance rack. Usually those little cart's have products that have been opened and returned, or some type of noticeable flaw - so I walk right by without even glancing at it. Today, however, a glimpse of royal purple caught my eye. Tucked underneath an incredibly ugly pink comforter was a queen sized set of 1200 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets. They were neatly folded and looked like they had never been out of the package. Being a single mother I don't typically spend a lot of money on things I can do without. But today I couldn't resist slipping my fingers into the package and touching the fabric. So soft - even before they were washed! I assumed there was probably some mistake but checked the package for the clearance sticker anyways. Lo and behold, there it was! Completely affordable and too tempting to resist. I was so excited that I purchased them and left. I didn't think twice about the towels I had gone there for in the first place. Oh well... I guess I will have to go back tomorrow - and you can bet I'll be checking that clearance rack again.
