Better Than Momma’s Pancake Breakfast

Disclaimer: This is not a blog entry about pancakes.

Last week we had dinner with my parents at Cracker Barrel. What can I say? I’m a sucker for Fish Fry Fridays and Garrett likes the peg game. It’s a win/win. As we were leaving there was this display of beachy themed stuff and I spotted these pretty driftwood bowls holding a bunch of odds and ends.

Just a few days before I’d seen a similar driftwood basket online selling for around $50.00. I considered purchasing it for a second but couldn’t pull the trigger on a $50 bowl. I never in a million years expected to find such pretty little replica out there in the middle of the giant checker sets and pecan logs at the Cracker Barrel.

I emptied out all the Yankee candles and decorative balls and checked for a price tag, expecting to see something a little bit outrageous.

Imagine my surprise when I saw a price tag of $19.99 on this one!

SOLD!

I don’t think this is actual driftwood. Although the tag was from a company called Hidden Cove so it sounds kinda beachy. It looks more like whittled down broomsticks in some parts but the overall design of the bowl is really cool so I couldn’t turn it down. I’ve got big plans for it that might involve more succulents. But for now I just wanted to share my happy little find and see how hungry I could make you all in one post.
