They had a few on display but I was really hoping for a full set of six; the store staff happily scoured the store's backroom supply to find me what I was looking for! I also grabbed a set of three sassy "Tap Water" bottles and a warm, lightweight printed scarf. Did I mention everything was on sale? My kitchen, neck and wallet are thankful. read more
