Before moving to Louisville, I hadn’t heard of Cost Plus World Market. But during a shopping trip our first or second weekend in town, we stumbled across it in a new shopping area next to the malls. They had tons of products from all over the world – including lots of art, which is what we were looking for during our first few visits. This might sound silly, but at that time I also purchased a silicone spatula with a wooden handle for like $3 and it is still my go-to spatula all these years later.
I had wanted to do a little decorating for Memorial Day, but as there were just going to be a handful of us spending the day together (we had our big party on Sunday), I didn’t want to go all-out. So I went online to search for some fun, yet low-key, Americana items that I could use for Memorial Day. I wanted things that I could also keep and build on for the Fourth of July, when we usually have a big family gathering. I saw a number of cute things on the Cost Plus World Market website, and since it’s nearly across the road from Babies ‘R Us (where I needed to go to get Bubbles a new swimsuit), I thought I would stop in and see what they had.
