Domestic Extraordinaire October 1, 2008 at 11:30 am: Gah, it is just October 1st. I say wait til the last minute….I always do.
amanda October 1, 2008 at 11:32 am: they sure are aren’t they friend.

but i just can’t quit them
Keitha October 1, 2008 at 11:53 am: They always taunt. Wait a couple of weeks and it will all be yours with free shipping.
Margaret October 1, 2008 at 12:20 pm: Me too.

I got that magizine two weeks ago.

In it, is also this uber cool owl bed set. Cuz you know, Moe is obsessed with owls. Only, the sheets themselves at $60. The rest? $160. Unfortunately, I’m not spending that on a bedding set. I’ll have to watch the clearance section. I may pick up the two owl pillows, which unfortunately are not out in time for Christmas.

Jen October 1, 2008 at 2:16 pm: It’s not a taunt, it’s a gentle nudge towards excitement. Kids love the presents, grownups love the decor. It’s a win-win.
Denice October 1, 2008 at 3:32 pm: God, how I wish they would ship to Canada. I keep going to Pottery Barn Kids and finding the PERFECT thing I was looking for…and then no way to get it.
Elizabeth October 1, 2008 at 4:21 pm: LLbean has been taunting me.
Issa October 1, 2008 at 5:23 pm: We have a rule in this house, we don’t discuss Christmas until Thanksgiving.

One store here, put their stuff out in August. It’s just wrong.
Carrie October 1, 2008 at 5:44 pm: Please, don’t even tell me how many more days until I have to shop like a mad woman! I don’t want to know!!!!
Mb October 1, 2008 at 6:13 pm: Oh! I love them, and wish I had them. I wonder what lovely goodies are stuffed in them…
What? That’s just a set? Oh.
Mb October 1, 2008 at 6:14 pm: Although, I’m not sure I’d trade those for the current joy of candy corn
Fern October 1, 2008 at 8:00 pm: Pottery Barn Kids is all about messing with me. I could go on and on. In fact, I will.

First of all, apparently all the PBK families have a crapload of kids. I am jealous! I want 5-7 kids! Or more!

Second, their kids all apparently get along nicely, AND are willing to pick up their toys. Because otherwise their kids would not be bunking 2-4 to a room to allow space for a killer playroom AND an awesome study for the kids.

Third, and most obviously, they all have INSANE amounts of money.
Hip Mom's Guide October 2, 2008 at 12:42 pm: I haven’t even bought my girlfriend’s birthday present, and that day is tomorrow. So I won’t be thinking about Christmas for quite a while… Thank goodness, otherwise I’d have to splurge for those stockings!
Colleen October 6, 2008 at 9:38 am: Yes… they’re horrible.

But… I have already decided that we MUST have brand new personalized stockings. Because we must all match. And I can’t get Ana one to match our old ones. So… I’m splurging on those Pottery Barn ones.
lyndsey January 14, 2009 at 11:59 pm: Those are very cute stockings… I need to see if maybe I can get them now on close out BTW- I love Pottery Barn…and just love to visit the store to sit and pretend LOL…
