Target Lovin'

Hi all!

I have a confession to make.  I don't really go to Target anymore.  You see, like many of you I used to go a lot....like once a week.  And like many of you, I would ALWAYS come home with way more than what I planned to buy like I mentioned here.  In an effort to simplify and stay on budget I avoid it and I have to say I don't miss the ole' bullseye.  

However, I decided to go this last weekend and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.  I nearly came home with a few of these beauties but I resisted (for now).  

I love the horse themed items (hello, Kentucky!?) and masculine fall items:

Have you been to Target recently?  Bought anything good?

Shopping in NYC

Hi all!

We just got back from a fun trip to NYC to visit family and celebrate Jacob's birthday.  We haven't been to the city for a few years and it was M's first time, which was really fun!  Jacob and I used to live in NJ and would take the train into the city to stay with his dad and step mom a lot so we really miss it!

Here are a few fun finds I wanted to share:

Macy's Pantone Mugs

I love these and they would be such a great gift for an art teacher or designer

Eataly Italian Market

If you are in the city and want to pick up some delicious produce, cheese, wine, jam, etc. I highly recommend checking it out.  They also have a restaurant and if nothing else it is fun to just walk around

Coral Serving Pieces-Eataly

My favorite store in all of New York is Fishs Eddy.  They sell all manor of glassware, utensils, linens, and other odds and ends and is very reasonably priced.  We came home with wine glasses, coffee mugs, and a sweet little strainer.

I love this wine and cheese serving platter

My second favorite store is ABC Carpet, which is right across the street from Fishs Eddy.  It is a bit pricier and half the time I just go to look anyway.  They sell home furnishings, furniture, baby items, kitchenware, and beautiful jewelry.  It really is a great place to find a unique gift!

This is by no means a comprehensive list....just a few of my favorites that I happened to take pictures of!  Maybe I'll compile a list of my favorite NYC places to hit including restaurants.  

Have a great day!

Baby Shoes!

Seriously....what is cuter than baby shoes?  Ok, maybe baby feet...

Maddie's favorite shoe brand is on sale and I wanted to share because some are close to half off.

I didn't forget about the boys!

Cute, right?  They're on Zulily until Monday so go quickly!

Have a great weekend!

Girly Cuties!

Summery Love

Hi all!

Can you believe summer is almost here?!  I can't believe it just like I can't believe my baby turns 1 next weekend.  Where does the time go?  I'll be spending this week knee deep in cleaning products, crafts and tissues.  This mama is getting nostalgic about my sweet baby growing up so quickly.  I swear it's something you can't understand until you have a child and can see how they change from week to week and sometimes day to day.  Okay, I'll snap out of it. ;)  I wanted to share these wallet friendly summery finds because even though they aren't in my budget maybe they are in yours!

1. Anthropologie  2.  Sur La Table  3.  Etsy

Have a great one!

HG Favs and A Few Great Finds

Hello!

I made it to HomeGoods the other day for the first time in months and I thought I would share some of the favorite items I found.

Well, this isn't a favorite.....but I had to share. A plush dresser (like a fuzzy stuffed animal)....

WOW...

Sea Glass lamps- these were beautiful and I could see them in flanking a bed on the nightstands

I loved this guy! Perhaps on a casual buffet in a dining room?!

This was a great gourd inspired lamp that would look great anywhere but I pictured him on a great entryway table with a mirror and some fresh cut flowers

They are still going strong with yet another (different) sunburst mirror

I love this lamp! I wish there had been two as I would have seriously considered them for our guest bedroom. It was chunky with a perfect linen shade!

A great rustic inspired mirror

Another rustic inspired item

This is fabric I'm considering for a project I'm working on. I think I need to just go ahead and pull the trigger!

And these are a few items I picked up at a local thrift store last week. The candle holders were only $3.50 each. I already have 4 mercury candle holders in varying sizes and they are perfect for everyday use (ours are on our mantel right now) and they're great for decorating for Christmas as well. The white urn was only $3 and while I don't have an immediate use for it I couldn't pass it up. I'm sure I'll think of something! :)

Lots of great finds!
