Ebay and Honey Bear Socks


I browse ebay and make occasional purchases - mostly dishware - but the high cost of shipping usually causes me to ask myself, "Do I really need this?", and quite often I don't.

I was singing the praises of Ebay yesterday though, as well as a very kind and helpful blog reader who read my post about Michigan Charming Charlie stores being out of the tea-themed Honey Bear socks that Angela McRae blogged about at Tea With Friends.

Jo in Kansas sent me an e-mail informing me the socks were available on ebay.  I promptly went to ebay and purchased them.  They are on their way to my house, and were the original price at Charming Charlie's with no shipping fee. Yippee!  I never would have thought to check ebay, so a huge thank you to Jo!

As a bonus I discovered they not only came in mint green, but pastel pink too, so I got them both!



Raising my teacup to Jo, Angela, ebay, and life's simple pleasures!  
Note to self:  Next time something is out of stock at a particular store, check ebay!

  2. They're no longer available on ebay, but I googled and found a source for you at Fast-zone. I had no idea these socks were sold at so many different places besides Charming Charlie's - Macy's Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor, and Amazon. Unfortunately they're sold
    out at most places. They came in the color gray too.
