Urban Legend

Crate and Barrel, West Elm, Pottery Barn Kids, Restoration Hardware, and Williams Sonoma…all as outlets?

Pshh! I scoffed for years. I’m an outlet expert, not a fool. I had no interest in the sub-par quality merchandise these stores might try to pass off as deals. I would just shop the online sales, thankyouverymuch.

I was the fool.

The legends were true.

We rode along with M last week to a meeting he had in the hill country, and all I can say is LOVE.

The kids and I had the time of our lives shopping the outlets.

Well, I did for sure.

Maybe I was just a week post-virus with four kids. Maybe my house is desperate need of decorating help. Maybe I have lots of people to buy gifts for…

…but the deals?

Yes. No urban legend. Beautiful rugs 80% off simply because Williams-Sonoma had made too many. Lamps and chairs (pictured with Ellie, above) from PBK AT TRUE OUTLET prices! Like 75% off. Hundreds of them!

Which just about covers what we paid in gas.

But the fun of finding this place?

You guessed it.

Priceless.
