Retail Therapy

Retail Therapy.  It's what a friend of mine did with my girls a few weeks ago.  She took them for the day so I could have some time to myself and she took them shopping - to Goodwill!  I loved the term - Retail Therapy.  It's what we women do when we need a pic-me-up.  At least a lot of us do!

And it works!  It's so fun to go shopping and BUY stuff.  I love getting stuff in the mail that I've ordered.

So today I decided to do a little shopping for you and give you some things to consider if you need some 'Retail Therepy'.  I just might make 'Retail Therapy' a regular post.  What do you think?

Should I continue to 'shop' for you??

Cool green glass ware.  I wanted to buy these!

Find them here.

Fun pillow to remember your anniversary by.  Or a babies birth.  Or your own birthday.  Or just for fun.  Find it here.


Cool industrial light. Wouldn't this be a fun pop of color:)
Find it here.

Vintage grain sack and rhinestone cuff.  Cute, cute!

Map stickers!  I love maps, and paper goods, so what's NOT to love about these :)

Find them here.

Darling necklace for the photographer in your life! Found here.

I almost bought these letter rounds. But I refrained. I'm just window shopping for you!!

Find these here.

Small chalkboards are all the rage lately.  I thought the color of these was fun.

Find them here.

Union Jack bunting.  I just love the union jack - it's such a cool design and you can do so many fun things with it!  Find this here.

If you love ironstone this tea pot is for you.  How darling is that!

And that's all for now!  Have you had any 'Retail Therepy' lately??

Sew a fine seam ~ I actually SEWED!!!

So I did actually manage to get some sewing accomplished recently.

A friend moved with her family to Haiti recently, and before she left she brought me some fabric to make her some curtains for their house there.  This burlap is for her son's room (i think!)

Isn't the ribbon she found so cute?!

She wanted a fold in the center to give it a sort of roman shade look.  Easy to do and adds great texture I think.  I really like how this one turned out.

There were two of these and they were each about 62 inches long.  For lack of a better way to photograph them easily and lack of motivation to take the time and effort to get good photos this is what I have.  Horizontal stripe piece at the top and the bottom 2/3 vertical.  The trim between the two really added just what they needed!  I hope they work well for her and are just what she had in mind.

Boxwood starts ~ Christmas Decor!

I got some lovely boxwood starts from Kara.  She and I had the same idea for some of them!

You can see hers here. 

While most of them will got planted outside to grow bigger in the spring (well, Kara's are planted, mine are still in a box) a few of them came inside to join my plethora of Christmas decorations.

They are just adorable wrapped in burlap.  I may just have to buy boxwood starts every year at the end of November:)
