Willow House Purchases

Have y’all heard of Willow House?  I hadn’t until recently.  It’s like Mary Kay or Pampered Chef etc but for your house.  A friend hosted a party two weeks ago & I’m so glad I went.
I got a few ideas of things to do different for my tabletops & mantel as well as purchased two organizational things: the Mail & Key Caddy & Decorative Card & Photo Display.  Currently our mail sits takes over one side of our narrow kitchen’s counter-top.  Coming up invitations and photo cards have a way of taking over our frig then going on top of our pub table.  I hope these two products solve both these issues!  The same hostess friend dropped off the products to me & I immediately put the card thing over the pantry door.  The mail holder will be hung as soon as I can find a small nail.

Anyone else bought any thing from Willow House?  I thought the vases & candle holders were pretty & if you needed new dishes or servingware that theirs was really cool. Oh & I loved their online outlet with weekly deals. Y’all know I can’t resist a deal!

Rue La La Lilly Sale

I woke up around 10a, ate a couple of the blueberry muffins I made last night, and signed into Rue La La!  I found 2 sweaters I loved immediately & they had the “Cedar Knit” Lines & Vines Dress that I’ve been eying for months.  I also loved the Worth Carson’s Grandstand dress.

Husband was sitting near me on the couch & ruled out going a little crazy on all three.  Then when I tried to just buy the Halle Limade sweater in large, I realized I’d missed out {I didn’t follow my own suggestion & just had it in my shopping bag}.  The Hearst Hotty pink sweater & Worth dress were gone before I knew it too.  So I thought about the green one in xlarge & just rolling up the sleeves…Then I remembered the couple weddings & wedding showers this spring/summer/fall & thought the Cedar Knit dress would be perfect for it.  I quick bought it {once I updated my credit card on the site}.  So excited the dress is on it’s way to me!!

What deals did you get?  They had lots of little girls dresses for $25.  Anyone get any of them?

Lilly Pulitzer Home Sale

Y’all know I can’t resist a sale, especially a Lilly sale!  So when I saw info on the Garnet Hill sale on a couple blogs, I thought I’d check it out.  I’d never been to Garnet Hill before, but it’s such a fun, pretty website. 

Our current guest bedroom covers, shams, pillows came in a bed in a bag on clearance at Kohl’s.  What I’d say about them: they’re mostly blue & they were cheap.  Moe has also had a thing for that comforter so it now has a hole at the foot of the bed {yeah we know he’s crazy}.

The Lilly Leaf It to Me comforter was originally $188 for the queen {a little big so I can tuck it in so Moe wont be tempted} & I got it for $29!  I bought two shams for $9 each and the outer for this pillow for $9.  I bought the white on white lace Embroidered Percale Bedskirt which I thought would be really pretty in the room for only $19.  The bedskirt is no longer on sale, & the shams are now out of stock, but if you’re looking for a great deal on the pillow or the coverlet, go check it out!  I had a hard time not getting one of the $9 Lilly shower curtains or the super cute cocktail mixer.

photos all from Garnet Hill website

I recieved an email today that it all shipped.  I’ll be sure to post photos once it’s all here & set up in the guest room.

disclaimer: Garnet Hill has no idea I did this post.  I’m just excited about the deal & thought I’d share with y’all.

New Boots! and other Black Friday deals

Husband’s playing a video game & my blogging Monday made him “die”. So I’m blogging from my phone for now. Excuse errors. I’ll go back tomorrow & fix as well as add photos.

After our successful midnight shopping, we were up again by 815a Friday morning. I grabbed a Diet Coke and a few pumpkin cookies before getting in the SUV w/ Mom & Nana to be at Victoria’s Ragpatch by 9a. We arrived at 9:02a so we missed standing in line but arrived in time to get a coupon each for 50% off any one regular price item! Almost the entire OIB store was 75% off clothes (including Lilly!) and 50% off accessories. We all scored OkaB’s for $7 (Mom & Nana got a few for themselves & I bought some for gifts for my aunts). I also bought a pair of Lilly linen pants for $22, a Lilly koozie, guest towels & coasters. I used my 50% off coupon on one of the brand new resort line peach chic polos. I love those buttons & can’t wait til its warm enough to wear.

After Vicki’s, we headed to Belk’s. We bought my grandfather loungewear, some jewelry for ourselves (like $17 for supposed to be real black & white pearl necklace/bracelet/earring set) & I found some tall flat dark brown boots that I loved! Only problem, didn’t have them in my size. A helpful salesperson discovered they had 4 at my home mall Belk & a super helpful Raleigh Belk employee let me purchase them over the phone & she found coupons to make them an even better price~ orginally $89 bought for $48!! I wore them today with brown leggings & took a self pic to show yall.
We went back home for lunch then back out to go to surf shop for my brother as well as pick up all the pandora jewelry {the saleslady there had wrapped them individually then held them for us}. We bought fresh off the boat grouper to have for dinner. We topped with blackening seasoning then baked and served with broccoli casserole & leftover sweet potato casserole.


Saturday we mostly chilled. Mom & I took a good walk on the beach. We celebrated Mom’s birthday {which was Sunday} and {very early} mine after lunch. Lowes Food cake was delicious! And we both opened some fun gifts! I received a purple v-neck from Loft, an orange sweater dress {that will look awesome w/ my boots!}, Lilly Christmas ornaments from my brother, & grandparents & parents put money towards my Nikon Christmas camera.


The girls went for mani/pedis early Sat afternoon. I chose RED opi polish anticipating it lookin’ great cheering on NCSU at the ACC championship 12/4. Sadly, the NCSU/MD did not go the way we hoped. Towards the end of the game we left & went to see the end of the OIB floatilla. The boats looked great & helped get me really in the festive Christmas mood.

Cyber Monday Shopping

In case you didn’t know by now… I love shopping. Even more, I love deals! Today was no different.

I follow Hannah {aka Peggy Ann Design} on twitter & I was so sad this morning when I saw that I’d missed out on her great deals over the weekend. But luckily for me & two of my friends {for Christmas!}, she was still doing 20% off today & free shipping! So I might have bought a few things, but I’m not posting what I purchased in case they check ou t the blog between now & Christmas!

I’ve been eying JPK handbags for a while now. Three of my good friends have them in various colors. I was hugging on one at Belk Friday & again Sunday, but not hugging on the $165 price. So I thought I’d check online today to see if they were on sale online anywhere. I was in luck! I found the bag in Vermeille {a raspberry red, I hope!} at Nordstrom for $81.90! Amy at work said it was too good of a deal to miss! So happy birthday to me {a little early} from the husband! I can’t wait until it’s at my doorstep!

I then went to Crate & Barrel during my long lunch to get a few gifts with the 15% off coupon. I shopped for my mom who’s work isn’t near C&B. Santa’s bringing Steven & Beth something drinky fun! I also got Nana, Mom & Beth little somethings.

Mom used a Kohl’s coupon she had to get my Dad his Christmas gift from us tonight. {he might find this, so not giving anything else away!}

I’m trying to find brown leggings to go with my new flat tall brown boots, I looked at Old Navy Sunday and was told they are sold out. I bought black ones from there a couple weeks ago & love them. Old Navy is sold out online too. I checked Macy’s & Gap & Belk today and didn’t find what I was looking for. Mom found some at Kohl’s tonight so I might be going there tomorrow.

With all that, I think I’m done except for a few things for Mom’s parents, picking up a few gift cards & figuring out & buying Jason’s gift. Not too bad right? Anyone else get any deals?
