All my stuff is getting discontinued!-UPDATED

HI Gals,

So the hurricane vases that i bought for the tables we can't find anymore. (these were going on the tables-one on each end of the table) i got 10 and i need 10 more. we found these nice pedestals for those vases to go on the tables. we bought what we could afford at the time and when we went back there was no more!
NOW it's my DIY centerpieces. we've been buying 2 at a time- due to cost. we only need 4 more. we went to the store today to get them and the sales girl told us they've been discontinued!!
This has gotten sooo frustrating.
we basically have to buy all new stuff. we're still lookin at other places for these things- but it just kills me. i truely feel that these things only happen to me!
Sorry just had to vent.

SO the icing on the cake is the flower rings that we were buying at AC Moore to use on the centerpieces got DISCONTINUED TOO!!!!!
At first we just thought the store ran out. this couldn't still be happening to us. but we looked at 2 other locations and no luck.
I really just want to cry
I hope this isn't all an omen.....

no, they happen to me too... have you tried ebay?

Its the economy. Companies are not making a lot of stuff. So things are getting discontinued like crazy. Your going to have to break down and buy things all at once, instead of a little at a time.

At least its wedding related. I bought my comforter at Fortunoffs (and some of the sheets) on sale, unreturnable, and was so excited. Only to find two weeks later that they discontinued my pattern. Now I am scrambling to get everything and there are already pieces of the bedding set I can't get.
