Goodies

 

I have been craving shopping.

Pinterest has got me planning a home I don’t have, lol, but I am itching to go see what is out there. I like to plan ahead!

I was inspired by blog hopping to run over to Michael’s and see the goodies in the $1 bin.

I actually put back a lot of what I gathered! I got my Country Living in the mail yesterday, I had to make my weekly stop at Barnes & Noble so I got coffee and Romantic Homes, and Elyse is in Artful Blogger(Nov/Dec/Jan) which I looked for in three places and Michael’s only had this one copy left!! I just made it!! Also grabbed a cute pad of paper at JoAnn Fabrics.

The Jelly Bellies were a necessity and were SOOOOO worth it!!

My collection of cupcake holders is now organized into two jars and look great!

You can never have too many cupcake holders!

Also found these  at Michael’s.

I have been looking for pink knobs and honestly haven’t even found them at a price I wouldn’t pay. I was thrilled to get them for $2 each in the dollar days bins.

They match my Lamp

And I think they look cute.

Here is the before

Boring but keeps with the style. Now I need 10 pulls for the two matching dressers. I think it will not be as easy to get. I will keep looking.

I found this

Cute pink and brown dot bed for Sophie. Marshall’s had them for $19.99. More than I wanted to pay but after looking for this size for two months it was the cheapest one I found and it is CUTE! Sophie is still out on if she likes it. Silly girl.

I also got two plastic totes from Wal Mart and have organized under my bed and the Christmas I took down.

I feel better. I even cleaned out the hall closet just for fun ;)

Funny how January does that to you.

Now I am off to add to my Pinterest boards for my dream house.

Must be prepared.

Hugs, Lisa

Where do you keep your Magazines?

While trying to clean up and out today I started puzzling on where to keep my magazines. I don’t keep any silly People or Entertainment Weeklys I may buy, but what about the GREAT ONES???

Bottom shelf of my bookshelf in the Living room packed full,the Somerset issues take a huge section (left)

and here

This is this year’s, so far, and it is stuffed! My poor shoes being pushed out. No space left in my closet.

Here

My Cath catalogs hiding under furniture!!

I also have a HUGE box stored at my aunt’s house (need to get that) and a whole huge shopping tote in storage. I do tear down ones that end up with not so interesting things in them. But my ME Home Companions are treasures, and Somerset are BOOKS! How can I do that to them?

I have such limited space and know I need to get rid of them but …

So what do you do with yours? Maybe you will have a great idea I can use too!

Hugs, Lisa

Mollie Makes

Pink Saturday!

Welcome to another great Pink Saturday!

Please join us @ Beverly’s for a full dose of Pink!

I bought this

I know you will be shocked but it DID NOT come from Barnes & Noble, I know BUT it did come from Borders!

They sent me a 40% off coupon for a tote  or a journal. Since they have Paperchase I was very excited!

A Mag Bag how perfect for me??

It is not as easy to see but the background is light pink and I love the flowers!

This will hold me ‘til I hit the jackpot and can order  a Cath Kidston!

Off to load up my mags for travel!

And for fun ;)

 

I am so happy to have these with me all the time ;)

Happy Pink Saturday!

Hugs, Lisa

Woo-Hoo Wednesday!!

Another Great Wednesday!!

See this lovely book

I bought it and LOVE it

But it came with a bonus!!

A whole year of this! This is my first issue! How great!!

The room on the front is Tony Shalhoub’s (of  Monk) Martha’s Vineyard home!

Great place really homey and not at all Hollywood!

So if you are interested in The Farm Chick’s Cookbook (not just for cooking) Grab a copy and get a bonus!

Hugs, Lisa

Favorite things…

Country Living British Edition!

Like it better than ours. Maybe I am not tired of their ads! ;)

Hugs, Lisa

Still snowed in…

But we're all cozy!

The boys spent Saturday night and had a great time. This is Sunday morning and Molly joined them to watch tv.

And I’m in love

 

Look at these

The articles in this magazine are like really good blog posts and you just feel like you are having a conversation with these lovely people!

I loved the last issue of this one too!

This is cute and looks like so much fun! Great gift wrapping!

How cool to have an idea for the cups and cozies! I have loads of coffee cups to use when I go buy cups of coffee, and they are 60% of the time at home when I do! I am trying to keep one in my car but they have to be washed so it isn’t as easy as running out and putting bags back in my car. I am trying!!! But I will keep the cups I do get from now on! I love this idea!

I finished my tiny dollar store bulletin board.

It’s pink, of course!

I use it for all my business cards from the sweet and lovely online ladies that sell me wonderful things that make me smile!

 

Looks cute hanging too!

It will go in my room!

My mother and stepfather are looking for a place of their own. We are hoping the spot next door will be ready in the next few months and they will be right there. It would nice to be close but not as close as we are now. hehe

I am excited about using my bedroom suite and spreading out my other treasures into the whole extra bedroom. I am making lists!!

My room will be more country and the the new room will be pink shabby chic/retro! It will look like a junked up mess just like the rest of my house but I will try to have only two styles in one room!

I also got stir crazy while flipping channels I came across a laptop on QVC and had a semi-impulse buy. I have been looking and researching laptops, netbooks, etc, for at least 8 months and this one had all the features I wanted at a price I could afford so I did it!

Then after I did thinking maybe I could have done better and have searched but really cannot find one better in my price range! It is sadly not pink. But the pink ones cost too much or were too small. As it is my only computer I want to do everything on it and not just the internet.

So what has everybody else been up to?

Hugs, Lisa
