I has so much fun yesterday with my boys. They actually tagged along with me on a treasure hunt. I needed a short break
from finishing my masters work and I didn't want to really spend a lot of money either...
It was snowing, barely 20 degrees and I had an urge to flea market shop. Where can you do that in the middle of the winter? Well....
these goodies came from...
GOODWILL! Yes, sometimes there are fun goodies there! I was looking for mixed matched china longing for tea in my garden in the middle of the winter! Luckily, I found some beautiful english pieces!
And a beautiful framed garden print for my bathroom.
To conclude the treasure hunt, I had a nice lunch with my sons. My oldest had a blast and bought a lava lamp. Too funny!
Hopefully soon enough the winter will subside and there will be tea in the garden!
Today on this February 1st. I bought a pumpkin. Not just any ordinary pumpkin, it was a large grapevine lighted pumpkin from my favorite store in the world! Yes, Pottery Barn!
Why you ask? Ha! Well it was originally $89.99 and marked down to $21.99, so I knew I would most definitely appreciate it come this fall! My shopping buddy, my son Riley convinced me! Although... it wasn't too difficult. Riley and I share a love for the Fall. ~And it's Pottery Barn after all! Can you ever go wrong?
Well sometimes you can... I love their stuff but sometimes I look at the prices and say, Really? Riley noticed that some flowers on a stick cost $50.00 today. He thought that was hysterical. Soooo, sometimes I may, just may steal there ideas and attempt to duplicate for a little cheaper.
Fact: You can never have enough creamed colored large candles, glass hurricanes, big glass vases, and of course pottery. Well, I guess you can sort of when you run out of space because I keep buying them and bringing them home!
The other reason for the visit? WINTER THERAPY! I usually pair Pottery Barn with Gardeners supply to treat myself! My shopping partner Riley prefers Yogurt City first, which is fine by me.
Bringing home greenery and pretty Pottery Barn like things is so fun!
Just like glass hurricanes and candles, you can never have too many begonias either...
and don't forget glass vases...
Inside is starting to look Spring like, but I have to appreciate the moment too! A toast to Old Man Winter and trying to appreciate the moment!
Wine and Pottery Barn Helps! :) PS it's snowing! And I guess it is pretty :/
