Deals and Steals

A couple of weeks ago, the Mr. and I headed south and took a little mini-vacay in our Natural State's capital, Little Rock.  While he was working away, I spent some good, quality time digging for sweet little finds!  So here's my loot:

I spent a good hour and a half in Anthropologie and came out with this beautiful bowl for $8.  The perfect desk accessory with it's gold rim and chevron ikat pattern.  Yes, I'm in love.

I also scooped up four floral cloth napkins on sale for a mere $3.75 each!  I thought they would make the perfect pillow covers!  I found some black and white herringbone fabric for the back, sewed it all together and it may be my favorite pillow yet.  I tried to find both of these (the napkins and the bowl) on their website but no such luck, so check your stores.

Remember when I organized my jewelry here (psst, did you also notice the chevron ikat bowl I was lusting over 3 months ago?)?  Well I have way too many stud earrings and they seem to get lost at the bottom of the bowl.  The answer:  egg crate!   I found a few cheaper options online, but not much of a difference once you factor in shipping, so this baby came home with me.

I got these for the entryway that I'm determined to start focusing on (along with our master bedroom, finishing up the office, finishing up the laundry room, and the list goes on).  At $2.75 a piece, I figured why not?  They had a bit more character than most of the hooks I'd seen and I think that's actually a better price than Hobby Lobby...on sale!

I also grabbed this for my pencils (currently hosting my sewing utensils)!  I have a love for monograms.  For $6 bucks, I'd say it's a winner!

Add in my $13 large mercury glass hive vase and a pair, yes TWO, of 108 inch curtain panels for $25 (both TJ Maxx finds) and I'd say I had one heck of a successful trip.  Alright, let's add it up:

chevron ikat bowl $8

4 cloth napkins at $3.75 ea. = $15

egg crate $14

2 hooks at $2.95 ea. = $$5.90

monogram mug $6

hive vase $13

pair of linen curtains $25 (that's cheaper than IKEA folks!)

Grand Total $86.90!  Woot!

So, have you gotten any deals lately?  Do you want to purchase the entire Anthropologie store?  Do you go to Homegoods/TJ Maxx weekly like me?  It's a sickness I tell ya.  Have a great weekend y'all!
