Default Wow did I score big today!!!

Two dear friends and I exchange Christmas gifts. I've been friends with them since 3rd grade MANY years ago. Today I went out hoping to find something nice for them so I went to TJMaxx. I saw this tall and beautiful Jim Shore Shephard figurine. They had only two of them and when I took one out of the box I knew it was what I wanted to get them!! I love them myself. They are 20 inches tall. I love the quilt designs he puts on them. I paid $19.99 for each one and here below they are listed for $70.00.

I have a nice collection of some of his figurines but these are not staying here...I have to fight the temptation to keep one!!

That is a great find for sure! I sent those to friends last year and got them thru Amazon...didn't get nearly as good a deal!
