tjmaxx... you should go!

during one of my weekly visits to tjmaxx (aka retail therapy sessions) I ran across a breath of fresh air... color, color, and more color! It was a much needed pick me up considering it was a miserable 5 degrees outside today...

I found a variety of glass pieces ranging from 5.99 to 14.99 and the cutest little lamps for only 29.99 each... lovvve bargain shopping! The colors are more than perfect for a law office i'm working on and I plan on picking them up for my client tomorrow!

(yes, i said tomorrow! i wasn't allowed to check out past closing time (i must have blocked out the loud speaker?) because i had too many items... the store manager pretty much kicked me out while reassuring me all my items would still be there in the morning when they opened at 9:30... i'm thinking they damn well better be!)











so just remember: you don't always have to shop at high end boutiques & furniture galleries... you can get the same look for less if you shop around! (wouldn't you rather spend the money you saved on shoes?! i think so!)

pretty in pink @ hable construction

there is something about the month of february & all the hype surrounding valentines day that makes me drawn towards all things pink! not that I don't already love pink (it is my favorite color) but this month I am officially in pink overdrive...
~
during one of my many google searches (I was looking for pink pillows to coordinate with my new bedding i recently ordered online... eee so excited!) I ran across the website of hable construction... a textile design company who make bags, home accessories, holiday items, gardening accessories, and other fun and interesting things from their own fabrics
~
after navigating through their website I found more than just a few things I could have ordered on the spot... except for one small detail! I'm not certain I'm ready to spend 150.oo on a pillow?
~
below are a few of my favorite pillows (all show in pink, of course) but are available in a variety of colors and sizes...








i will take one of each... :)
please & thank you!
make sure you check out their website... they have so much more to offer!
