A friend told me that John Bead's Outlet store is closing it's Bridal section, and everything is 90% off until the end of the month. Which means just a few days left to go. So we went yesterday. I was surprised just how much stock was still available, considering the sale has been on since the beginning of February. Well, I started off slow enough, but when we got to the bridal section, it was like winning the lottery! If the price on a huge package of ribbon roses said $9.99, that meant it would cost me 99 cents. If a package of roses said $1.00, it would cost me 10 cents! I was like a kid in a candy store, knowing that after this place closed, there would no longer be anywhere to get these kinds of flower embellishments. The store I used to get them at on Queen Street in Toronto, closed and moved to Hamilton a while back. So I stocked up.... and here's some of it..... There were even a couple of ribbon rose grab bags stuffed full of dozens of bags of flowers, some with more than a hundred per package. The original price was $9.99. Which meant they cost a $1.00 now. Here's the contents from just two bags..... There's more flowers here than I'd ever use in a lifetime, but it's great to have them just in case.
