Maybe it's the wrong time of year? TIA for any leads! > >Dot in Dee-troit ======================== Dot, Thanks for the prestigious title, I have generally called myself "Bargin Betty" but I like Queen better! For those interested in chile motif stuff, read on if not, delete now. It just so happens that I check this site weekly for all sorts of things and have ordered from them with good results. Usual disclaimers apply. Check out www.andysgarage.com for Finger Hut over runs, etc. Also for the outdoorsman, he also links up with Sportsmens Guide stuff! Under Hot Buys go to kitchen: under organizers you will find a chile pepper 9 pc table top set for $17 that has S&P shakers, napkin holder, etc. Under gadgets you will find: Chile pepper burner covers for $5, Cast Iron chile pepper pan for $10, chile pepper placemat set for $11, 13pc kitchen chile motif metal set that has a spice rack and bottles, mug rack, paper towel rack, wall hooks and candle holders for $25. Didn't see any rugs but you could go with something red or green or stencil on a light colored cotton throw rug. Chile pepper christmas lights are always cool too! Hope this helps you bargin bettys and I have been to Big Lots regularly but nothing chile related tho'. Did find some nice, large water glasses at a dollar store that I sent Jeff from this list that had multi colored chiles on them. Check all of your local $1 stores...they are all different and carry different items that you may never see again. I live for them!!!
