Weekend Shopping

For those of you who follow me on Instagram you probably saw all my great finds this past Saturday.  It will truly a great day of deals!

First stop was HomeGoods where I scored a replacement for poor old Horace (my horse head).  He made an unfortunate fall while I was styling my fireplace mantel for Autumn.  I shared his injury on Instagram and had some great suggestions of what to do with him and his one-eyed self.

But in the end I scored this new guy from HomeGoods and am quite excited about him:


I also grabbed this guy- Im thinking I need a name for him as well.  



After I loaded up the boys in my car, I headed over to the Habitat Restore Store.

Now Ive been to the Habitat Restore place before and usually walk out empty handed, but not this day.  

I bought a pair of these Anita Visual Comfort lamps- brand new-they were still wrapped in bubble wrap & styro foam. They retail for $420 each- here.  I paid......wait for it...............$30 a lamp!  Thats what they call a Jesus deal!!!

Im thinking of adding black shades to them.

I also grabbed this Visual Comfort brass floor lamp:

It retails for $399 here  and I paid.........$30 for it- oh yes I did!  So needless to say I was doing quite the happy dance that day.

Oh and I also found this great wooden pillar to hold my man-head (the one my family hates and wishes he would fall to his death).  I like the weathered wood and how it matches the buffet in my dining room.


Now after seeing all these pictures of statues & busts Im starting to think I might be a little weird.  I guess you could say Im one mounted deer head away  from being off my rocker.

  2. Wow, what a successful day of shopping! Dare we say it...we're loving those lamps. What a steal. We think you're stylish. Not weird. But we suggest staying away from a mounted deer head. Your friends at HomeGoods

  10. You totally need a mounted deer head! ;)

    I've been to that Habitat store and walked out empty-handed as well. I thought I really didn't need to go back....until seeing your post. Hmm...
