September Tuesday Morning Finds - Share Yours!

I went to look for sheets and found a pretty pad for 4.99 ( and stickers for .99) that I will probably use mostly for mats. I was glad to see they had installed some racks instead of having all the pads thrown in a bin in a jumbled mess.

My Tuesday Morning is a bit frustrating these days. I'm sure they got some paper pad shipments, but the manager there is always talking about how he keeps getting distracted from unpacking the truck. The truck unloads around 5 pm on Monday, and this guy told me this week to start checking for new stuff on maybe Wednesday afternoon.

?

He claims he just can't get around to it, what with the phone ringing and other priorities. From what I can observe, his priority is a smoke break every 30 minutes (he often steps out twice while I'm shopping) because I never hear the actual phone.

I know the situation will straighten itself out, but it's just ... weird.

I have done that, believe it or not! One time he had them in a cart and brought that out of the backroom to let me sift through. But even that happened after he caught me too far over the line peering in there and he said he had to escort me out because I'm the general public.

I'm thinking about applying for employment on Monday nights.

One of our stores (the large one) has their stock out by the evening of the next day.  The other one has their stuff out at least a day later.  They both have three people working on delivery days.  I love it when they roll out the craft shopping cart and then have to go help someone at the register.  I have been know to put up paper packs to "help out."

I wish we had something like this here. Sounds like some great deals available.

New item alert: They had quite a few Basic Grey embellies, still not much new paper. I picked up a 25th & Pine journal, some Capture acrylic photo frames, and bronze metal studs.

I was excited to score a Spellbinders Artisan Explorer for $30. Now I can emboss without a rolling pin!   

I also found these great little stamp pad racks, $5 each, that fit perfectly in my cabinet.  My stamp pads were previously in there stacked in baskets. These are all I need for the stamp pads I have now, but I feel like I should go back for more, because future need, you know... 



ETA: The picture is sideways in the post, but it's straight when you click to enlarge it. Why does that happen? 

 I went again yesterday, and just didn't see ANYthing that I had to bring home with me. I also went to a local SB store where I have about $10 in store credit, and didn't see anything there, either... maybe I'm sick!!   

eta: although I do like those ink storage racks... but the TM's around me just have the same old, same old.

Our store manager told me that the last thing they put out is holiday stuff.  So when I see those carts roll out, I know everything else is out.  I am sure all stores do it differently.

I went yesterday and found a few items(pebbles puffy stickers) that I saw people on YT get last month. I had really wanted those stickers and never found them, I just chalked it up to someone beat me to it, so I was surprised and happy to see them hanging there. I am still looking for the Maggie Holmes flower ephemera pack. There were more embossing folders from TH, more Glimmer stencil screens(Halloween). I saw a few of the old school Sizzix dies, lots of 6x6 & 12x12 paper pads. I saw two different Mambi 12x12 Halloween pads and really liked them, but they were $7.99 and I decided I didn't need them that bad.

There happened to be an employee working in the aisle when I was there, she told me there was more in the back that hadn't been put out yet and told me to check back on Friday, so I will be making another trip and let you all know if I find any new goodies.

Tattered Angels Glimmer Screen snowflakes-[1596414] $1.99
Pebbles puffy stickers-[1581589] .99
Pebbles Jen Hadfield Homemade puffy stickers [1581589] .99 (these have the same sku as the summer puffy stickers above)
TH Halloween embossing folders(2) [1592842] $4.99

I know right. That crab is so cute! These just came out this summer. Hard to believe they are already at TM.

I work at a Tuesday Morning and you need to ask them when they get their trucks. They are supposed to have their stuff out in 24-48 hours after the truck is unloaded. We get our craft stuff into a basket first off and wheel it out onto the floor. We never mind if people want to look through the stuff! We have people shop from the baskets all the time. But, we have the regulars that come in every week that know when we get our stuff and they clear us out....at least what's left after I've gotten what I want as I'm unpacking the boxes hee hee. To be fair, I've hardly ever cleared out the products completely, there is always at least a pack left to put out for shoppers. We never get tons of anything, just a handful of each product - most times just 2-3 packs of each.

Our TM keeps changing their delivery schedule. And some weeks they have the nerve not to get a truck. I do start lurking the aisles about four hours after the store opens after the delivery. A girl has to have an obsession.
