Five Things Thursday

1. Valentines Day is right around the corner.

I found these cute plates at Michaels. You might think that the smaller plate with the heart is a small cake plate. Actually, I'm not quite sure what it is. It's about 4" in diameter. 

So cute! Yet, I resisted buying them. I have quite a huge paper plate collection. I can't think of anything else to call it. It's too much! Yay me for resisting.

2. I thought this was a clever idea--I've seen it before. 

The problem is that I do not save empty tissue boxes. Recently when I was sick, I just used a plastic grocery sack for my used tissues. That worked out just fine.

3. I thought these were interesting statistics:

 Around 14.4 million visitors came to Nashville in 2022, up 13% over 2021, and generated a record $8.8 billion in visitor spending.

4. I don't think this is a new concept, but still a great story.

Vanderbilt has the same sort of deal. 

5. In the vein of Valentine's Day, this is kind of a great idea!
