I stopped in at Home Goods on my way home from work and scored this sweet deal:
Four place mats and these two purdy casseroles for under $27. The smaller dish was $7.99 and the larger one didn't have a price tag. Somehow the sales girl decided it was $9.99 which I don't think was quite right...but I'll take it!
Detail of the flowery vine and greyish-beige color.
First....long anticipated...the super sweet deer head from my friend Meg. You may remember it was a wedding gift I was eagerly waiting for and here it is installed. I love it so much! I just need to accessorize the mantel appropriately now. I'm also contemplating painting a darker color behind the deer to make it pop more but let's start with the mantel.
And secondly...(although this isn't the clearest picture) a really cute Valentine's Day garland. There is a version of this garland in the shop now. I'm especially happy about it because it gave me an excuse to buy a big circle hole punch!
This weekend was super action packed, but I feel good because I was productive too!
Fun Stuff:
-Bowling Friday night, first time in a long time (other than Wii Bowling)
-Dinner and a movie double date. We saw Juno which was very cute and entertaining. It has a fun soundtrack too. The character Juno was quirky and witty at the same time. The entire movie was slightly offbeat and both the boys and girl I was with all really liked it. Everyone else I know who has seen it really enjoyed it too so I recommend it.
-Sunday football at a friends. I don't really enjoy football but I do enjoy the social aspect of it...plus the food and booze!
Gettin' Stuff Done:
-painted the hallway and stairwell a really yummy milk chocolate color. I love the way it turned out. Next step is to touch up the trim and bead board. Then the biggest part of the project...ripping the carpet off the stairs and finishing the steps. There are also some framed picts in this hallway that I'd like to spruce up too. Maybe once this whole project is done I'll post some photos.
-Hung the deer head that was delivered this week! Love it! I'll show picts of that too soon.
-started some items for the shop. Here's a sneak preview.
Thanks to a very special friend I am eagerly awaiting a package containing this!
It a slightly late wedding present that is SO worth the wait! I can't wait to sit on my couch and see her looking back at me! (It's got to be a "her," right?)
If you'd like to get your own you can snatch one up here.
