All Points Bulletin

After searching and searching I finally found the bag.

That was followed by another obsessive search for an appropriate picnic blanket which has now been located.
Then began the hunt for this aqua vintage style thermos. They have been discontinued and I'm told the remaining stock was sold to HomeGoods. Being the sort of person you know me to be, I'm sure you have guessed that I have been to every HomeGoods in my area. And just in case, every TJ Maxx. And every Marshalls. And nothing. So I'm putting out an A.P.B. to all of you my dear friends. If you can get your hands on this totally Jen style thermos, I will make it worth your while.

UPDATE: THE THERMOS WAS LOCATED, BOUGHT AND SHIPPED. I RECEIVED IT YESTERDAY! YIPPEE!!!!!!!!

  2. Hold the phone! The blanket was located??? WHERE?! I love that you told me about "the thermos" and I immediately pictured it.

    Also - it sounds to me like you're trying to muster the courage to ask me out on a picnic date...

  4. Now that would be the most beautiful picnic! I wish we had a Home Goods near our town. We have a TJ's about a half hour away, but it's not a very good one. I hope you find your thermos! :)

  10. Didn't they have these in Country Living recently? How cruel of them to dangle such a delicious bit of thermos in front of us that we can't obtain! I too have had my thoughts wander to these beauties from time to time...if I see them I'll buy one for you and me!

  12. oh...what company was it that told you the thermoses were discontinued???? maybe it's just that particular company that stopped buying them--they could still be manufactured, but that company is not restocking them...just a thought.
