shopping around town

I've been wanting to go to a store in our area for the longest time, and a friend suggested we'd go, so this past Friday we had a great day with manicures, pedicures, yummy lunch and then we went to Preferred Plants on University Ave. Me loving flowers I am surprised that I haven't been there before!! They have the best and most beautiful silk flowers I've ever seen!

They had all of their Christmas merchandise out: great Christmas greens, berries, amaryllis stems. Although the stems and the arrangements were pretty pricey, they sure worth it. So if your in the area you sure should check out this store!

Here's some things I purchased while there:

some stems of greens and berries and a sparkling snowy nest!

plates

For awhile now I have been collecting random mismatching antique plates, cups and saucers, anything really that is eye catching. At a recent sale I got these 2 matching style plates, only 25cents each. I think these 2 are my favorite in my little collection! The back it says that they were made in England. I wish I could have found more there, I wonder if the set had other colors, maybe yellow and green...?? Maybe I'll look it up online to see!

One of my coworkers stop by one day on her day off, and she had on the CUTEST pair of shoes! She informed me that they were SO comfortable and you can even change out the ribbons to match your outfit!! I HAD to purchase them! On my birthday my hubby took me to Parkleigh. I pick out a black pair with black and white stripped ribbon. And to top it off... they only cost $25! I need to go back for other colors! Check out their website for other styles!

Todays the day wheen I pick up my new ride!! I can't wait!! Check out tomorrows post to see what it is!!

things i love

I heard about this french tip pen from a coworker of mine, and I thought I had to try it! And let me tell you, it's the easiest way of giving yourself a french tip manicure! You just draw on the line, no strips of paper needed!! I am definitely going to try it on my toes as well!! It's only $8 at Sephora!

anyone for some tea?

Yesterday I went to one of my favorite home decorating stores: The Christmas Tree Shop. You can find all kinds of goodies there for such low prices! For example I bought a teacup bird feeder (see picture) for only $3.99. I put it next to an old wicker chair in my garden. And I love how its pink! I also purchased 2 paper lanterns that are battery operated, they are looking great in my sun room! Every time I go I find so many good things there! Check out their website for other great deals! And don't worry they don't have anything Christmas right now!

what i'm shopping for...

I was recently in Target and I passed by the Isaac Mizrahi clothing section of the store and I spotted a really cute orange dress. Very retro looking. It would be cute for a wedding I have coming up! I think I might go back and try in on!
