Newness

Suzani Roman Shades, DONE! Total cost for both shades: $40 ( made with $3.99 mini blinds )

 and no i still havent found THE light fixture for this room

Sewed up a Batik Ink Pillow for each sofa ( i'm more excited about the sunlight you see in the pic. SUN! )

and lastly, the entry table. Ready for spring. It wont stay this way, Those lanterns will be moss filled next week w/ LED candles. And this is the only time I ever EVER have faux flowers.

Sample Sale finds

Does anyone else have a sample sale in their area? We have a sample sale of designers and major brands every 2 months, and it's so much fun. From $20 Uggs, to $4 Snow/Skate Brand Tees to home goods and other big designer names, there's somethin for everyone.

I was thrilled this time to dig through a pile of stationary and find a Thomas Paul goldmine. That journal on the left retails for $20, I snagged it for $5. The Thank you Cards were only $6. 

I've had my eye on this "thingy" for months, and it finally went on clearance. Lucky me. I plan on hanging it from my pergola in the backyard for summer. It holds tealights, how cool is it? Originally $50, got it for $12.
( sorry it was spinning in the photo, it's made of thin steel )

Oh Suzani

After THREE months of waiting, my special order Suzani fabric from Joanns  is in. I'll be making roman shades today. Pics to come! ( with the new camera that arrives tomorrow for my birthday )

Toddler artwork

Wanna see the condition of my house right now? I wont show you the front room  because it's my upholstery room right now, and it looks like a warzone. Meanwhile, my 3 year old got a hold of a sharpie and put her artwork on a few of my windows. Can't help but laugh. Nothin a magic eraser cant handle.

RH knockoff Beach Towels

You may remember this post  from last year about Target's awesome RH knockoff Beach Towels. I patiently waited for them to go on clearance and paid 10 bucks each for them. They retail at $17.99

Well now they're back. A little bit different, and they havent introduced the rest of the line yet. ( sold out online, but they ARE in my local stores )

They're called 

Fieldcrest® Luxury Medallion Beach Towels
