Bombay Co. is Alive!

In my Thanksgiving Dress Rehearsal post HERE, I mentioned that I have many pieces from Bombay Co. and how I miss that store. I received comments from others who also miss it.

So today I go to a Kroger Marketplace, and as I browse through their housewares I immediately recognize the tan and white stripe and BOMBAY lettering in a large vignette!

Was I happy, or was I sad? I was happy to see that the company is still alive, but sad that it would be in a Kroger. Remember how pretty their stores at the mall were? According to their website, they are also found at Fred Meyer and through QVC.

Do you remember the logo/the lettering? It looked so familiar to me; I was surprised that I remembered it so well.

No doubt about it--some of the pieces were pretty. This silk orchid was beautiful.
I think it was around $40.

I liked this chicken-wire cloche with the rustic bowl a lot.
It was only about $14.
I'll be thinking about it, and one day I'll just have to jump in my car
AND BRING IT HOME!
If I don't,...come Easter I'll be very sorry.....

And how about this pretty one for only $12?! The box behind it was lovely; it looks like
a book, but it's a box for saving pretty things. Yes, that might need a GOOD home too.

They also had furniture--at VERY reasonable prices. They looked
pretty enough.
Remember they always had nice accent tables?
Still do.

Some of their tables and bookcases, etc.

They also had nice Christmas decorations. I especially liked these deer candle holders.
I think they were $40 each.

Recently I needed nice place cards--not the tent type. Could not find them, and I didn't have time

to look for them online.

These Bombay ones, which I bought when they were closing their stores, are my favorite ones--

rounded corners and gold edge.

So, please tell me--do you remember the "old" Bombay? Do you miss it?

Are you sad that it's at Kroger now, or are you happy to know they're

still in EXISTENCE?

Thanks for stopping by. Please leave me a comment to let me know you were here—I read every single one of them! They encourage me and inspire me. And if you like what you see a lot J, maybe you’d like to +1 this post too!

Thank you!

I'll be joining lots of parties, as you'll see below, because I suspect many bloggers will

want to know about the resurrected Bombay. Especially, I'll be joining Susan's

Monday Metamorphosis because that's exactly what's happened at Bombay!
