Anthropologie x Rifle Paper Co Nutcracker Dessert Plates, Platter and Tea Cups
Not Sponsored: Anthropologie and Rifle Paper Co collaborated for Christmas this year. This collection came out in October, but I didn't find out about it until November. Well nearly everything was sold out, except the tea cups. I was like, why must I LOVE THIS COLLECTION! HaHaHa I FELL HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE WITH THE DESIGN (as did SO many others)! Well I knew all the pieces would turn up on evil eBay. I resorted to purchasing the platter from there. Other pieces were also on eBay, but I took a moment and collected my thoughts. To purchase everything on eBay was going to get very expensive. I'm going to let you in on a little secret guys & gals. Anthropologie has a UK website (at the time, they had nearly every product from this collection in stock). They accept orders from the US. They ship to the US. If you don't already have one, get yourself a PayPal account. Take your US dollars and convert them to Euros (click on the three dots next to your PayPal balance, click MANAGE CURRENCIES and then convert to the currency you need). Place your order on their UK website and they will ship your order to you. They had nearly EVERYTHING! I purchased my dessert plates from their UK website. They triple bubble-wrapped the plates and they arrived in PERFECT condition. So the moral of the story is ... if a store sells out of something you want (before you run to eBay) see if they have an international store ... see if they ship to the US. If they accept PayPal, convert your money to the currency they accept and place your order. Shhhh! Our little secret. LOL I can tell I'm becoming a serious shopper because I'm getting super savvy. You should do the same for beauty (as I did here). Look to places like Beauty Bay and Beauty Bridge. People don't often think of those sites first. When something is popular and sells out you need to have an alternative place to get the item you want. PLUS, more stores are accepting PayPal as payment. I love it because you'll also pay LESS taxes (trust me...a couple of dollars). I can't wait to use my new Nutcracker Christmas set.
