Got some AWESOME stuff today!

White ceramic stuff

Today is my mom's birthday so we decided to take a day trip to a shopping center called Village at Sandhill in Columbia,SC. I had never been to Home goods or World Market and I got some Adorable pieces! I got all A.D.D. in there..lol it was like an overload of white ceramic stuff. 

Home Goods was first on our list and its like TJmaxx on crack and I love it. I got the big vase in the center for $14.99. Cant you just see it with some bright yellow flowers! I'm thinking it will go in the master bathroom or maybe on our bookcase in the living room. I also snagged the cute little round picture frame for $4.99. I think it will add some texture to our bedroom.

Then at World Market I got my FAVORITE purchase of the day! The vase in the bottom left corner that reminds me of a sea urchin.

I walked past it three times and whined about it to my mom, then mid-checkout I held up the line to go grab it. I tried to tell myself I didn't need it but my self control didn't win that fight. So in the end it found a loving home! 

On a whim I got this mini Gautama Buddha "the enlightened one" cuz i thought he was cute and apparently i have a soft spot for ANYTHING white ceramic...lol he was $6.99.

Oh the ceramic vase on the top left was just a random purchase from two weeks before and I love the geometric pattern so I had to put it in here!

 Overall we had a great day and found some neat stuff. 

Added some "whimsy" to the yard.

Whimsy plants ;)

I Love days when I get off early and can spend time with my two favorite people in the world! Its funny how we normally end up at Lowes or Target though. Today was no exception we decided to swing by Lowes and look for plants for our front yard, it needs TLC something fierce. I'm pretty sure Eric knew exactly what he wanted because it was decided in no time we were taking these guys home! Two Japanese Pencil Holly and don't they just make you think of Disney? Mickey carved in a HUGE bush? Well, either way we love them!

I can see these guys filling out and being tall/luxurious !!!!

Thats my Girl! She's such a helper and that rake kept her busy. Needless to say we had a full blown meltdown when I put it up ...I cant lie I was tempted to get her paci but I stayed strong :)

And here's eric doing work! 

             The Finished product

I fell in love with spray paint!

I'm in love with these little guys! I mean how couldn't you. I found them on eBay by chance for ONLY $11. Crazy I know, so I had to have them! They were exactly what I was looking for minus the color, they needed to be painted and I've been dying to spray paint something! Thankfully they made it to me all in one piece, now I just had to decide what color.. I was thinking maybe a red orange. But  my husband found this pretty "exotic sea" by Valspar for $4 at lowes. 

Note to self: don't spay paint in your garage. I laugh about it now because I was so excited to start. But it was too windy so I decided it would be a great idea.:)three thin coats (10 mins in between) the bookends look AMAZING!!! And our garage floor well it was covered... Thankfully it dried before it hit the floor so all I had to do was sweep it out.

   

LOVE the Color! Super easy and inexpensive.
