Nordstrom Rack: Orchard Corners

Pleas note: this is not a sponsored post.  I just really, really wanted to share this with you.

I stopped by Nordstrom Rack this morning, looking for a pair of boys tennis shoes*, and couldn't resist walking through the jewelry department (great "similars" to this, this, this and this):

I've been on the hunt for a necklace like this since December, for this exact purpose:

I found the perfect strand for only $11.97.  By way of comparison, Target is selling an even longer strand for $12.99.  Of course, Target's strands are those Mardi Gras/carnival type that should be packaged for $.99 (in my humble opinion.)  Also, Nordstrom Rack (and Nordstrom) sends you e-receipts, which is perfect for two reasons: 1. I lost my receipt.  2.  That lost receipt happened to have a $5 off coupon printed at the bottom.  And it doesn't matter because I've got it in my email (take that fate.) 

As I was walking out I noticed these hangers, priced at $5.97 (for 10), which is really quite a good deal.

I prefer wooden hangers, but if you've ever considered switching your metal (I shudder at the thought; think Joan Crawford) or plastic hangers, this would be a great deal!

Don't forget: they don't re-stock items, so once they are gone....they are gone.

*I cannot resist the urge to browse the never-ending shoe aisles, even though I sincerely feel like the shoes found at this type of store are shoes that no one wanted in the normal retail store, even on sale.....which means I more than likely don't want them either.  I have bought three pairs of shoes from Nordstrom Rack in my lifetime (by way of comparison, I have bought hundreds of shoes from various retailers, which make Nordstrom Rack under 1%.)  I feel the same way about the handbags.  My point?  It doesn't hurt to stop in every once in a while for the amazing finds they sometimes have!

p.s. Sorry about the photos, I was excited to share this.....so please pardon the cell phone pictures :)
